Please note this role is within the STEMed category. The role of Sub-Category Manager will involve developing a robust sub-category procurement plan which meets the needs of both the category and central commercial drivers (including sustainability).
You will be able to impact our division's aims by preparing negotiation strategies to deliver Value for Money (VfM) commercial arrangements for the category, managing competitions, as well as advising on compliance matters. You will also assess demand on existing contracts and develop transition plans for new suppliers where appropriate.
