Warwick, United Kingdom Warwickshire County Council Full time

**Who we are**

Here at Warwickshire County Council, our commitment to caring for our residents is underpinned by a highly commercial approach. That’s where you come in. This is a post that offers you rare variety in your day to day role, with room to grow and opportunities to add many different achievements to your CV.

**A varied role that makes a lot of differences**

At Warwickshire, we love to innovate. That’s why, as a Category Specialist, you’ll enjoy a wider remit than you might expect from a typical category management role. Here you’ll develop, deliver, manage and maintain a range of innovative and effective commercial solutions. You’ll optimise service delivery options available to us, while delivering ongoing efficiencies. And you’ll do so across diverse areas of expenditure.

From leading and managing procurement related projects and programmes, through to investigating sources of supply, conducting tenders and monitoring supplier performance, the range of areas you touch means you’ll constantly be learning, developing and making an impact. As well as growing your potential for career development, you’ll forge great relationships with an array of service leads, suppliers and partners.

**What we’re looking for**

An experienced Procurement professional with proven commercial skills to lead on projects where savings potential has been previously identified. You’ll bring to the role a track record of leading and managing procurement related projects in a multi-functional organisation. With experience across every aspect of the procurement cycle, you can really demonstrate the value added by effective procurement. You’re a great communicator with the ability to build influential relationships. You’re a collaborative colleague with a ‘can-do’ attitude. And you bring real creative flair to problem solving. Public Sector procurement experience would be of significant benefit but not essential.

**Why work in Warwickshire?**

Warwickshire with its vibrant mix of towns and rural areas, heritage and culture and great connectivity remains one of the fastest growing commercial regions in the UK. The County Council’s vision is squarely aimed at making Warwickshire the best it can be, sustainable now and for future generations
