    Role: Procurement Category Lead – Technology (SaaS and Cloud) – Scale Up Global Technology Business

    Location: London/Hybrid

    Salary: £85,000 - £95,000 (potentially some flex for ideal candidate) + 20% Bonus + Share Options

    We are partnering with an exciting scale up technology business, on the look out for a senior leader in their procurement team. This technology platform (the first of its kind) is working with some of the world's biggest brands to help them better understand and manage procurement spend across their tech categories.

    Having recently received successful Series B funding, they are bolstering their procurement team as they extend their service offering - to run procurement projects on behalf of their customers. They are looking for a procurement leader to take their expertise to the next level.

    The role

    As Category Lead, you will be responsible for designing and rolling out a strategic road map to work with customers and manage all SaaS and Cloud spend on their behalf.

    You will be the lead for all customer engagements across tech spend – working with CTOs and CFOs to understand their key requirements, problem areas and working collaboratively to create a procurement focused solution. You will be responsible for a team of procurement managers – ensuring delivery for the customer, whilst building a sustainable and best in class procurement service offering.

    As a leader in their procurement department, you will create new tools and processes to ensure better customer engagement and satisfaction. In addition, you will be responsible for managing big deals with key cloud and SaaS vendors, helping customers to establish more strategic partnerships and better visibility of their spend portfolio.

    Skills and experience required

    • Previous experience designing category strategy: working with customers, you will be required to confidently design and implement bespoke category strategies to suit individual customer requirements. You will manage multiple procurement projects – keeping the stakeholders updated on progress, managing delivery teams and taking a lead role on supplier negotiations.
    • Excellent stakeholder management skills: as the Category Lead, the successful applicant must have the credibility and gravitas to work with C-Suite level stakeholders – working with decision makers to create procurement strategies but pushing back where required and drawing upon experience to influence final decisions
    • Team management experience: the SaaS procurement team is growing at a rapid rate, the Category Lead must be a confident manager with a track record of developing teams
    • The ability to make an impact: this hire is a key role within the business, therefore they are looking for someone who can bring a positive energy and dynamism to a fast paced team

    • The opportunity to join a rapidly growing business and play a key role in shaping their service offering
    • The chance to build a top-class procurement team, involved in cutting edge and innovative tech procurement deals
    • Excellent starting salary with a great benefits package including 20% bonus, share options and private healthcare
    • Hybrid working model – 3 days in the office / 2 from home
