Direct Procurement Category Manager - england, United Kingdom - W Executive
Description
Job Title: Direct Procurement Category Manager, Hybrid flexible on location
Company Overview
This unique organisation operating within the healthcare sector is searching for an Indirect Procurement Category Manager to lead new and innovative procurement processes.
Position Overview
The Direct Procurement Category Manager holds the task of creating and executing a robust commercial strategy for each category and its subcategories within the organisation, aimed at driving substantial benefits for the company in profitability and total cost of acquisition optimisation. You will lead both the sourcing and sales channel performance in collaboration with the service contract and channel-based sales teams, demanding a deep understanding of products and market dynamics, which you will learn in post.
The role will drive enhancements through initiatives focused on demand, specifications, and traditional purchasing methods like negotiation, alongside effective product positioning and pricing across diverse sales channels. Additionally, it involves weighing internal costs associated with supplier and supply chain management, including working capital and the impact of poor quality and delivery performance.
The Direct Procurement Category Manager has the responsibility of optimising the total cost of acquisition, maximising sales opportunities, and proactively addressing potential supply chain risks through formal identification, minimisation, and mitigation strategies. Upholding supplier and supply chain competitiveness necessitates implementing and refining measures of performance, contractual terms, cost analysis, and risk management practices through a continuous improvement and cost reduction.
