Senior IT Procurement Category Lead opportunity based in Utrecht, focused on technology sourcing and strategic vendor management.


This procurement role sits at the heart of enterprise transformation, where you'll define and execute the IT category strategy across cloud, software, and infrastructure.

You'll partner closely with senior IT, architecture, and transformation leaders, influencing sourcing decisions early and driving measurable commercial value through complex negotiations and vendor strategies.


It's a highly visible position operating across a global, regulated environment-ideal for someone who enjoys shaping strategy, challenging stakeholders, and delivering tangible impact without direct line management.

Key highlights:

  • Enterprise-level ownership of IT category strategy
  • Strong focus on digital and cloud transformation
  • Senior stakeholder engagement and influence
  • Opportunity to optimise cost, drive value, and build strategic vendor partnerships
  • The team operates globally within Procurement and Third Party Management, working closely with technology, finance, legal, and risk to support large-scale transformation initiatives.
