• Manage the category through its contract lifecycle, including renewal planning, price and term reviews, variation management, and supplier transition or exit when needed.

• Engage stakeholders across the business to understand needs, align on priorities, and communicate category strategy, results, and changes. Facilitate regular stakeholder forums and category reviews, influence policy and demand decisions, and bring recommendations and options to business and procurement leadership


• Track and report category performance, including savings delivered, total cost of ownership, spend under contract, and supplier performance. Prepare regular reporting for leadership and use the data to identify the next set of opportunities. Manage the US fleet budget and forecast and explain variances to plan
