HAYS are delighted to be working with one of our clients headquartered in the West Midlands to recruit for an Assistant Category Manager on a permanent basis. This role will support the Category Manager in delivering effective, compliant and cost-effective procurement of services across digital and technology, with a specific focus on below-threshold procurements. This role offers the opportunity to be part of a large and dynamic team, with exposure to complex procurement projects and the support of a well-established leadership team.

This permanent vacancy comes with a salary of between £35,000-40,000 per annum (dependent on skills and experience), a hybrid working pattern and a generous benefits package.

The key responsibilities of this role are:

• Work closely with internal stakeholders to understand their needs.
• Support the Category Manager in the delivery of below threshold procurement in accordance with relevant sourcing pipelines and strategies.
• Support in policy reviews and contract health checks.
  Manage the e-tendering portal and support in the preparation of tenders and ITT documentation.
• Support the Category Manager in evaluating offers and supplier selection.
• Support the drafting of detailed progress reports around IT procurement activities.
• Support the delivery of savings targets in line with budgets.
• Support the relevant stakeholders to ensure all procurement activity is in accordance with relevant compliance standards and regulations.

In order to be successful in this role, you will need:

• Experience in a similar procurement role, with a record of accomplishment in delivery procurement projects, preferably within the IT category (although this is not an essential).
• Good communication, collaboration and negotiation skills, with the ability to build credibility with a varied community of stakeholders.
• The ability to use procurement data to identify themes and trends, advise on routes to market and improve service delivery.
• Proven experience of working to deadlines and prioritising workloads.
