Job Details

We’re partnering with leading organisations to appoint multiple Category Managers across both Technology and ‘In-Direct’ procurement.

These are high-impact roles where you’ll take full ownership of technology categories across software, hardware, cloud, and AI, working closely with senior stakeholders to drive strategy, unlock value, and influence key commercial decisions.

You’ll be trusted to build and execute category plans, lead complex negotiations, build supplier relationships, and own performance. This is about making a genuine impact.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Owning end-to-end technology categories across key spend areas;

  • Partnering with IT and business leaders to shape strategy;

  • Leading sourcing activity, negotiations, and supplier management; and

  • Driving cost optimisation, innovation, and risk management.

What we’re looking for:

  • Proven experience in procurement or category management;

  • Exposure to technology spend (software, cloud, telco or similar);

  • Strong stakeholder engagement and commercial acumen; and

  • Someone who’s proactive, curious, and ready to step up.
