Location: Oxfordshire or Oxfordshire & London (hybrid)

Salary: £60,000–£68,000 + performance-related bonus and other attractive benefits

Ready to take ownership of a varied procurement portfolio and influence decisions across a high-performance business?

A globally recognised FMCG organisation is looking to appoint a commercially driven Procurement Category Manager to support its evolving procurement function. Covering HR, Marketing and wider indirect categories, this role offers the opportunity to take real ownership of sourcing activity while partnering closely with stakeholders across the business.

You’ll be joining a collaborative, close-knit team where procurement has an important role to play in shaping commercial decisions. With a varied portfolio, direct stakeholder exposure and the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing development of the function, this is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to broaden their category experience and increase their influence.

The organisation also offers a fantastic working environment at its Oxfordshire office, with a free on-site gym, excellent facilities and an attractive benefits package. There is flexibility to work three days per week in Oxfordshire, or split your time between Oxfordshire and London, with two days in Oxfordshire and one in London.

As a Procurement Category Manager, you will:

• Own HR & Indirect Categories: Manage procurement across HR, Marketing and wider indirect spend, developing sourcing approaches that meet business needs while delivering strong commercial outcomes.
• Manage Strategic Sourcing Projects: Lead the full procurement lifecycle, from engaging stakeholders and understanding requirements through to market engagement, tendering, negotiation and contract award.
• Influence Stakeholder Decisions: Build effective relationships with teams and functional leaders, providing commercial guidance, challenging requirements and ensuring procurement adds value from the outset.
• Deliver in a Fast-Paced Environment: Balance multiple projects and changing priorities, finding practical solutions and maintaining momentum without compromising on commercial standards.
• Contribute to Function Development: Identify opportunities to improve procurement processes and ways of working, helping to strengthen the function’s impact across the wider organisation.

What they’re looking for:

• Previous procurement experience, ideally across HR, Marketing, Facilities Management or wider indirect categories.
• A strong understanding of end-to-end sourcing, including tendering, RFI/RFQ/RFP processes, contract management and supplier negotiations.
• Confident stakeholder management and business partnering skills, with the ability to influence, challenge and build credibility with different teams.
• Strong commercial awareness, communication and organisational skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-moving environment.
• A proactive, adaptable and solutions-focused approach, with the confidence to work independently and take ownership.

Why consider this opportunity?

This is more than a category management role; it’s an opportunity to take ownership of a diverse portfolio, work closely with senior stakeholders and help shape the contribution procurement makes to the business. You’ll gain exposure to a distinctive, high-performance industry while developing your commercial experience within a growing team.
