Our Procurement team not only takes pride in choosing the best, most ethically sourced materials, but we also believe we must behave as sustainably and as socially responsibly as possible. It's within our passionate Group Procurement Department, that we are now recruiting a new Category Manager to join the team.
Are you ready to take charge of a dynamic role with strategic impact? Marshalls plc is seeking a talented Category Manager to manage a portfolio of indirect categories and oversee an annual expenditure of £30M-£50M.
So, what’s the mission?
In this key role, you will be responsible for sourcing across diverse suppliers and categories, ensuring all goods and services are procured at the best overall value while maximising cost-saving opportunities and adhering to corporate compliance. You will lead the development and negotiation of commercially advantageous contracts, working in partnership with our Legal team to implement robust service level agreements and drive supplier performance.
With a focus on bringing best-in-class technologies and formulating effective sourcing strategies, you’ll ensure Marshalls remains benchmarked favourably against competitors.
Collaboration is at the heart of this role, as you’ll work with internal functions and stakeholders to build exceptional relationships that drive procurement leadership and cross-functional success.
As part of our commitment to sustainability, you will help deliver on Marshalls’ environmental objectives, ensuring every action supports our company-wide goals. You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping procurement processes, meeting group targets, and delivering operational excellence.
