Complexity and Accountability

The role involves the management of cross-functional activity in a multi-site, pan-European environment. Although global structures exist, stakeholder behaviours are often locally driven and must be managed accordingly. Strategic purchasing is not new but a limited understanding of the process exists in parts of the business. Change management is a key objective.

The job holder is accountable for the management of key spend categories including the delivery of savings and supplier performance objectives.

Relationships

Identifying and maintaining effective relationships is critical to this role as change must be managed across all markets and all functions in the business. The individual should have the ability to influence, engage and/or motivate stakeholders, operational users, governance committees and cross-functional team members

• A proven track record in delivery of effective category management in a multi-site, tactically driven environment is essential
• Accomplished, competent and recognised as SME in several GP processes, sub-processes or categories
• The role is likely to be located at global centres such as Harefield or Amsterdam but depending on circumstances can be situated at other sites
• There is some European travel (approximately one trip per month)
• A second European language is sought after but not a pre-requisite
  
  
  

Development and Succession

Senior Global Category Managers have a wide category management experience and are responsible for more complex portfolios requiring multiple stakeholder influencing and change management across multiple functions and countries. Senior Category Managers will manage their spend portfolios in a more autonomous and empowered way and will be expected to deliver against higher targets in shorter timescales.
