  • Partner with stakeholders to understand business priorities, identify opportunities, and ensure alignment across categories
  • Support supplier relationship management including KPIs, scorecards, governance cadence and improvement initiatives
  • Provide clear reporting on sourcing activity, value realisation and category performance
  • Identify process improvements across the S2P lifecycle, supporting simplification, standardisation and better ways of working

  • Proven experience in category management, sourcing or commercial management
  • Strong negotiation capability across complex supplier contracts
  • Experience reviewing, restructuring or cleaning up major contracts
  • Ability to build clear sourcing strategies and provide commercial recommendations
  • Strong analytical and reporting skills (Excel, PowerPoint; Oracle/P2P ideal)
  • Confidence working independently and engaging senior stakeholders
