We’re supporting a world-leading manufacturing organisation as it embarks on a significant procurement transformation journey. As part of this evolution, the business is creating a Global Category Manager role to drive alignment, strategy, and value across its international network.
This is a rare opportunity to shape a global procurement agenda from the ground up — influencing strategy, processes, and partnerships across multiple regions and categories.
Role:
As Global Category Manager, you’ll lead the development of strategic sourcing initiatives across logistics and wider indirect spend areas. Working within a dynamic, decentralised structure, you’ll collaborate with senior stakeholders worldwide to bring greater consistency, transparency, and long-term value to procurement operations.
Your key responsibilities will include:
* Designing and implementing global category strategies across logistics and indirect services
* Building and maintaining high-value supplier partnerships and leading key contract negotiations
* Identifying cost efficiency opportunities while enhancing process governance and compliance
* Partnering with cross-functional teams to improve service delivery and supply resilience
* Supporting the design and roll-out of new procurement frameworks, systems, and tools
Required Experience:
You’re an accomplished procurement or supply chain professional who thrives in a complex, fast-moving international environment. You’ll bring a blend of strategic vision and hands-on delivery, with:
* Proven experience across indirect procurement, logistics, or related categories
* Strong commercial insight and negotiation skills
* The ability to influence and build trust across senior stakeholder groups
* Experience working within matrixed or decentralised business structures
* Solid analytical capability, with confidence using SAP, Excel, and procurement platforms
* A proactive, collaborative mindset and enthusiasm for driving improvement and innovation
What’s on Offer:
* Global Scope – Shape category strategy across a diverse, multi-country network
* Transformational Role – Contribute to the establishment of a new, global procurement model
* Professional Growth – Develop your career within a business investing in people and transformation
* Collaborative Culture – Join a forward-thinking organisation where your ideas can make an impact
If you’re looking for a strategic global role where you can influence change, build capability, and help shape the future of procurement, we’d love to hear from you.
