The median for Inventory Manager is $95,000 per year (typically $56,160–$144,500), versus $147,650 for Procurement ($110,142–$190,000). That puts Procurement about 55% ahead at the median.
Both figures are computed live from active listings on JobsRadar and normalized to annualized USD, so Inventory Manager and Procurement are compared on equal terms regardless of the currency each role was originally posted in.
