Category Lead for Indirect Spend

6 months ago


Manchester, United Kingdom Stagecoach Full time

**Salary**

£32,000 - £35,000 Subject to experience

We are recruiting for a Category Lead for Construction - someone who under direction will manage and help steer the end to end sourcing for capex related projects.

We have big plans for our depots. As we work to electrify our fleet in line with our net zero goals, our depots need to evolve to accommodate the new needs. You'll be working for our Indirect Spend Category Manager, to support our operating companies, managing a portfolio of contracts by delivering end-to-end procurement in partnership with our Construction department.

It's definitely a ˜sleeves up' role - we are a busy department and there is lots of opportunity to help shape our strategy at this pivotal time.

We want to nurture work relationships and love to see the department in the office collaborating and thriving, but we recognise the advantages our people also gain from remote working, so this role offers a hybrid working pattern. You'll work out of our Stockport office 3 days a week, to optimise those team building opportunities, and we offer 2 days a week working from home.

There's just a couple of ˜must-haves' from our perspective¦

A background in construction related procurement - tendering, contract and supplier relationship management, familiarity of capex linked processes. Some knowledge of CDM regulations and markets for energy saving related infrastructure. You'll need experience of analysing complex data sets - a keen eye for detail, a passion for numbers and be commercially focused. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Some experience of developing and supporting team members is preferable. Ideally you'll hold, or be working towards, relevant CIPS qualifications.

I f that's you we'd love to see you apply.

Stagecoach Shared Service Centre One Exchange, 20 Railway Road Stockport SK1 3SW
