As an Indirect Category Manager, you’ll play a key role in shaping procurement strategy across multiple spend areas, including health & safety, property, security, and environmental services.
This is a strategic, hands-on role where you’ll lead sourcing initiatives, negotiate TCO contracts, and collaborate with key stakeholders to optimise procurement across the group. You'll take a holistic view of category management, identifying opportunities to consolidate spend, drive efficiencies, and develop creative, flexible solutions that align with business objectives.
Success in this role means challenging the status quo, influencing senior stakeholders, and delivering real savings that impact the bottom line. If you thrive in a fast-paced, highly regulated industry, enjoy problem-solving, and have a passion for procurement strategy, this is your opportunity to make a real difference.
