Job Description:

Your new company

You will be working for a large organisation that is highly respected and a top performer in its field. The procurement team is professional, forward-thinking, and commercial in their approach. They are currently recruiting a commercially minded Senior Category / Procurement Manager to lead an indirect category.

Your new role

Supported by a Category Manager, you will manage a specialist category area across the organisation. You will develop and implement category strategies designed to maximise value, establish collaborative supplier relationships, and drive continuous improvement. Additionally, a key focus of the role will be leading complex tender programmes, commercial negotiations, contract management, and supplier management. Projects will be publicly or privately funded, and the ability to build strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders is vital to success.

What you'll need to succeed

You will understand market dynamics and cost drivers and have experience undertaking a range of sourcing activities including RFQs, formal tenders, and sourcing petitions. You will be a strong negotiator with contract management experience to ensure full end-to-end delivery and robust supplier management. Maximising internal customer experience is a significant part of the role, requiring excellent communication, planning, and organisational skills, and the ability to foster effective and collaborative relationships across a broad spectrum of stakeholders. Previous experience of indirect procurement is essential. Candidates from both private and public sectors will be considered.

What you'll get in return

You will receive a salary of £50,585 to £59,395 (including a £5,000 market uplift). Other benefits include a generous holiday allowance and an attractive pension scheme. The role offers a hybrid working model with up to two days working from home. The organisation boasts a superb working environment and is committed to learning and development.
