Category Manager - Role Profile.pdf

It is an exciting time to join our Group Procurement team. We have recently redesigned our structure to implement both category management and business partnering approaches focused on providing an operationally excellent service across L&Q.

We are looking for experienced Category Managers to lead on the development and implementation of category strategies for a range of goods and services. As a Category Manager, you will develop a detailed understanding of supply markets together with the key players. You will collate business requirements from across L&Q and develop category strategies to satisfy the various business requirements whilst optimising value, quality and service.

You will also work with Procurement Manager colleagues to support the successful adoption and implementation of category solutions across the L&Q business.

You will have had exposure to both the public and private sectors and have the expertise to handle all aspects of complex multi-million pound contract negotiation and management.

You will have a strong commercial and legally compliant approach and have a successful track record in delivering outstanding value.

You will report into a Senior Procurement Manager and work in a team comprising Procurement Managers, Category Managers and Procurement Officers.

Key Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

• Comprehensive and demonstrable experience in the management of end-to-end procurement activity compliant with the Public Contracts Regulations

• Experience of delivering procurement solutions on behalf of specific stakeholder functions

• Knowledge and experience of contract negotiation

• Able to demonstrate commercial and financial acumen

• Able to prepare detailed tender/contract documentation and reports

If you are interested in this role and have the experience required, then apply without delay

NB. We are a multisite organisation and travel between offices may be required at times.

Salary & Benefits:

We offer a competitive annual salary and benefits package which includes:
28 days annual leave rising to 31 days PLUS bank holidays
Agile/hybrid working
Excellent pension scheme and non-contributory life assurance
Investment in your career development with continued support and training (in-house & external courses)
Employee assistance programme
Health & Wellbeing program
Employee discount scheme
Up to 21 volunteer hours per year
Strong family-friendly policies

Our commitments:

At L&Q, people are at the heart of our business and our success depends on employing the best people and getting the best from them.

This is why we are committed to developing our people. It's only by investing in a well-trained and motivated workforce that we can continue to prosper and sustain business success.

We are committed to supporting your work-life balance and recognise the changing demands and circumstances in life. Please let us know during the recruitment process if you're interested in part time working or job sharing. In addition, should your circumstances change once you have joined L&Q, you can also request flexible working arrangements, e.g. a change to working hours - if it's feasible then we'll make it happen.

We are recognised externally for our commitment to inclusion. We are a Stonewall Diversity Champion, a Disability Confident (Committed) employer and have signed the Time to Change Employer Pledge to demonstrate our commitment to end mental health discrimination in the workplace.

We expect all of our employees to support our environmental policy and social responsibility work. We are an employer committed to environmental and social responsibility.

L&Q is a regulated charitable housing association and one of the UK's most successful independent social businesses. The L&Q Group houses around 250,000 people in more than 97,000 homes, primarily across London and the South East.

As a charitable organisation, our role goes beyond providing homes and housing services. We are a long-term partner in the neighbourhoods where we work. We hope to build aspiration, opportunity and confidence in our communities through our £250 million L&Q Foundation and our skills academy.

In response to the housing and affordability crisis, we will build 100,000 new homes over ten years. Of these, 60,000 homes will be built or funded by L&Q, whilst a further 40,000 will come through partnerships. Crucially, at least 50% of these new homes will be genuinely affordable, with a target of 60% in London.

Our vision is that everyone has a quality home they can afford, and we combine our social purpose with commercial drive to create homes and neighbourhoods everyone can be proud of.
