Looking for your next impactful role in Procurement? This could be it.

We're on the lookout for a Procurement Category Manager to join the team on a 9-12 month FTC. If you're comfortable working across a wide mix of indirect categories, confident managing complex supplier relationships, and ready to hit the ground running in a well-established function-this is a great opportunity to make a real difference.

You'll be working closely with internal teams to shape sourcing strategies, manage key third-party relationships, and ensure everything runs smoothly from both a commercial and regulatory point of view. It's a hands-on role where you'll be trusted to take ownership and deliver results.


What you'll be doing:

  • Leading end-to-end category management across UK & Ireland

  • Running sourcing events (RFPs, RFIs), negotiating contracts, and making sure suppliers deliver what they promise

  • Helping shape procurement processes, policies, and performance standards

  • Partnering with finance and business leads to align budgets and spend

  • Supporting compliance with regulatory requirements (FCA/PRA) and helping manage supplier risk

  • Driving value, savings, and smarter ways of working using proven procurement tools


What we're looking for:

  • Solid procurement experience, especially across indirect spend

  • Someone who's collaborative, commercially aware, and happy challenging the status quo when needed

  • A strong communicator who can build good working relationships with stakeholders at all levels

  • Confident managing sourcing and contracts from start to finish


Why you'll love it:

  • You'll be joining a procurement team that's trusted and visible across the business

  • There's a strong focus on flexible, hybrid working - with around 40% of your time in the office

  • You'll get a competitive salary and great benefits, including:

    • Performance-related bonus

    • Private health cover

    • Up to 12% employer pension contributions

    • 28 days holiday + bank holidays (with the option to buy/sell extra days)

    • Life assurance, discounts, and wellbeing support


If you're looking for a contract role where you can take the lead, bring fresh ideas, and work with a supportive team-you'll fit right in.
