You will effectively partner your business areas to ensure that specifications are informed by supplier market intelligence, category strategies and robust estimates establishing yourself and the wider P&C function as key strategic partners to the business.

**About you**

You will demonstrate leadership and experience in working in, building and managing large scale high performing teams combined with a track record of driving and delivering significant cost savings.

Specifically, you will be able to state how to achieve a performance-driven function and how this will be communicated.

You will be able to demonstrate your expertise across a wide range of categories and demonstrate how you have implemented category strategies and the benefits these have delivered.
