Salford, Salford, United Kingdom TalkTalk Group Full time

The Role

As a Category Manager at TalkTalk, you will be responsible for leading all sourcing activities within your designated area of spend. This involves interfacing with stakeholders to source requirements from new and existing vendors, using contract renewals, extensions, amendments, and competitive multi-vendor processes.

The Team

TalkTalk Procurement is a dynamic team managing third-party spend across the consumer unit. We work collaboratively with the business to focus on priorities where we add the most value, sometimes meeting short-term needs but mostly delivering on an overall strategy to meet business goals.

Key Responsibilities

  • All procurement projects within assigned categories.
  • Full and detailed spend and budget review.
  • Pipeline planning and maintenance for all requirements.
  • Using and maintaining procurement engagement trackers, contract databases, and sourcing tools for their area of spend.
  • Applying category management principles while focusing on priorities.

We are committed to creating a culture where you can be yourself and bring your unique perspective to our team. If you're passionate about procurement and category management, we want to hear from you.

We're a dynamic workplace that values flexibility and work-life balance. We're looking for someone who can think critically, work autonomously, and collaborate with our team to drive results.
