Category Manager
Lead all sourcing activity for your specific area of spend. The Category Manager will interface with all stakeholders in their strategic, critical business function to source requirements from new and existing vendors via contract renewals, extensions, amendments, and/or full detailed competitive, multi-vendor processes using our procurement tools. The Category Manager will work autonomously to establish their pipeline of work, agree on all routes to market, and confirm alignment to the TalkTalk roadmap.
The Team
TalkTalk Procurement is an exciting, central function managing third-party spend across all Business Units. We are a small, dynamic, busy team, split by key categories of indirect and direct spend.

We collaborate with the business to focus on priorities where we add the most value, sometimes to meet short-term needs but mostly to deliver an overall strategy to meet business goals.
* Manage all procurement projects within the assigned category.
* Conduct full and detailed spend and budget reviews.
* Plan and maintain pipelines for all requirements.
* Use and maintain procurement engagement trackers, contract databases, and sourcing tools for their area of spend.
* Apply category management principles, focusing on priorities.
