Job Description

Are you someone who knows their way around an IT supply chain like a seasoned air traffic controller knows a radar screen? If so, we might have something worth a closer look.

A leading utility and infrastructure organisation is looking for a Category Manager to own a $100m+ category portfolio covering IT Infrastructure Management Services (IMS) and Hardware - think data centres, digital workforce, and service desk as examples.

You’ll be leading a team of procurement professionals and partnering closely with senior stakeholders across the business. The remit is broad and strategic: from developing category strategies and leading vendor negotiations, to working hand-in-hand with business units to deliver real commercial outcomes.

This role sits within a global procurement function known for its scale, influence, and pace. You’ll report into a US-based leader and play a pivotal role in shaping category excellence in a high-visibility, high-impact environment.

What we’re looking for:

  • Deep category experience in IT hardware and services - you’ve seen the good, the bad, and the “who signed this contract?”
  • Strong background in large, strategic procurement environments with high levels of spend and complex supplier ecosystems.
  • A natural leader and commercial thinker who knows how to drive value from global suppliers without needing to shout.
  • Proven experience managing high-performing teams and influencing at exec level.
  • Familiarity with broad supply chain risk and sustainability objectives.
  • Degree level / relevant professional qualification such as CIPS or equivalent experience

This is a senior role with a salary package in the $140k–$175k range, depending on location, with strong progression potential and visibility across the business.

If you're ready to apply strategic thinking to a complex category, and want your work to matter – Please apply.
