- Etienne Pommey**The Organisation**

You will be working for a leader in the FMCG sector, who are currently going through the process of modernising their procurement function with a large emphasis on enabling it to become a key strategic partner.

**The Opportunity**

Working as the Category Manager for Packaging your role and input to the organisation is paramount to the day-to-day delivery of key products as well as the success of the organisation itself. Working closely with the Procurement Manager you will be given autonomy to strategically develop and lead the category, as well as being given exposure to the wider procurement team, leading to unmatched potential for progression and development. Further to this, if sustainability is something you feel passionately about then this opportunity would give you a platform to have a leading input, and a voice across the entire organisation to make a real difference. The scale of the environmental benefits that can be achieved through the strategic development of this category are huge. As Category Manager you will have responsibility of the procurement and contract management process from start to beginning, meaning you will have true ownership of the category, its suppliers, and its stakeholders. This well-rounded position, the package, benefits, and development at hand make it a rare opportunity for someone that wishes to fast track their career in strategic procurement.

**Skills and Experience Required**
- Someone that is active and passionate about continuous improvement or process improvement.
- Strategic people as the function is actively moving away from an operational procurement setting.
- Someone that isn't reliant on following a process and can run a tender without guidance and navigate through any requirements thanks to prior experience.

**How to Apply**
- Six Degrees Executive acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we work and live. We are also committed to equal opportunity and strive to promote diversity, inclusion, belonging, flexibility, and accessibility in all that we do. _
