We are currently recruiting a Senior Category Manager to manage all spend relating to new store development and asset maintenance for a highly successful and rapidly expanding casual dining chain.
The role covers 5 key European regions - the UK, Germany, France, and Spain. Total spend under management is c. £150 million, roughly split 80/20 between 50 new store developments per year and asset maintenance for their almost 300+ existing portfolio.
You will lead procurement activities related to new store development across subcategories including design and architecture, subcontractors, materials, engineering, signage, M&E, fit-out, capex equipment, utilities, and FF&E. The focus is on collaborating closely with in-country leadership and property/design teams to optimize design and specifications, reduce total costs, and meet project timelines across multiple projects.
This role reports to the Head of Procurement and works closely with property, design, and finance teams. Compensation is benchmarked at c. £80k + bonus and package DOE. The position is based in London with 2 days per week onsite and requires moderate UK/European travel.
To qualify, candidates must have:
* Experience in relevant subcategories: construction, fit-out, hard FM, M&E, capex, ideally with exposure to new store or venue development projects in retail/hospitality sectors or similar. Transferable sector experience will be considered.
* Strong negotiation skills, capable of managing multiple projects across different geographies simultaneously. European experience is highly preferred.
* Fluent English and proficiency in French, German, or Spanish is a key advantage, though not mandatory.
