A Category Manager for Indirect Spend is what we need – someone who can manage people and steer projects for end to end sourcing of parts and services for our people and depots.

As part of the Logistics department, you’ll manage our Indirects team to deliver good and service contracts for our people which furnish us with the best service solutions and contractual position for the business ensuring compliance with all legal and business requirements.
