The Opportunity

We have a great opportunity for an experienced Category Manager to join our Procurement team with responsibility for Facilities Services category, which encompasses both hard and soft facilities management, PPE, stationery, rent and rates.

You'll be working in close collaboration with key internal and external stakeholders to ensure the proactive and effective end-to-end management of all procurement requirements for the UK.

It's important that you have the flexibility to travel as you'll need to attend collaborative meetings in the Bardon Hill, Coalville office and be out with suppliers 2-3 days a week.

As a category manager you will understand that supplier requests come to you and that you will have to proactively approach the market to source suitable suppliers using your analytical skills and creating project plans based on spend.

It's a very demanding role, so having strong organisational skills is critical to your success as you will be managing multiple tasks at any given time. The perfect candidate will have category management experience in heavy mobile plant equipment, but we are happy to consider anyone with a proven track record in a similar role.

So if you think you're the person we need in our procurement team and you're ready for this challenge, then you can expect a competitive salary with great benefits and you'll enjoy being part of a fantastic team led by a forward thinking, open and honest manager who cares about his team and their development.
