SalarySalary £55k We’ve got a plan. And it’s really good. It’s also really ambitious. Which means we need help delivering it. And that’s where you come in hopefully!
A Category Manager for Indirect Spend is what we need – someone who can manage people and steer projects for end to end sourcing of parts and services for our people and depots.
As part of the Logistics department, you’ll manage our Indirects team to deliver good and service contracts for our people which furnish us with the best service solutions and contractual position for the business ensuring compliance with all legal and business requirements.
It’s definitely a ‘sleeves up’ role - we are a busy department and there is lots of opportunity to shape our strategy as we as business, evolve our fleet to achieve our net zero targets.If you are interested in sustainable procurement coupled with a sustainable logistics strategy, this could well be the role for you.
You’ll be working for our Head of Logistics, to support all our operating companies, building great relationships with stakeholder both internally and externally. It’s a role which will give you plenty of exposure to leaders across our business and you’ll need to build strong relationships with our external supply chain partners.
And you’ll not be on your own – we have many subject matter experts and there’s always someone to bounce ideas off, pick brains, or sense check your approach.
There’s just a couple of ‘must-haves’ from our perspective…
You’ll need a strong background in people management with excellent communication and interpersonal skills.Proven experience in procurement and strategic sourcing, with a focus on indirect category spend management. You’ll need significant experience negotiating complex T&Cs, strong negotiation and analytical skills – a keen eye for detail, a passion for numbers and be commercially focused. Ideally you’ll hold relevant CIPS qualifications.
We want to nurture work relationships and love to see the department in the office collaborating and thriving but we recognise the advantages our employees gain from working from.So this role offers a hybrid working pattern.You’ll work out of our Stockport office 3 days a week to optimise those team building opportunities and we offer 2 days a week working from home.
So if that’s you we’d love to see you apply.
