Strategic Category Manager

Salary: CS13 – 24 £66,590 - £86,279

We are transforming procurement and commercial services across the Government, and to do that we need to grow our team.  We are looking for a specialist lead for procurement delivery who will work alongside the Head of Procurement providing expert knowledge across high-risk categories, enabling the Government of Jersey to deliver its vision through increased commercial support.

As a Strategic Category Manager, you will be experienced in developing cross-cutting category strategies for business and category areas, providing deep category insight across specialised areas of spend to ensure the Government of Jersey is able to maximise value and outcomes.  You will deliver 1-to-5-year procurement pipelines, enabling the design of work packages, working across the departments to ensure that category strategies and plans are aligned to the commercial strategies and maximise the organisation's buying position, whilst contributing to and delivering Government of Jersey strategic objectives.

You’ll be part of the team which moves the organisation from a reactive to a proactive procurement service, adding value and insight.  A strong, credible relationship builder with demonstrable interpersonal skills, you will build and develop trusted relationships at a senior level across the organisation. You will interact with key senior stakeholders to provide strategic insights on business needs and develop and deliver innovative and fit for purpose contracting and negotiation strategies.  Using your experience of achieving enhanced value for money, social value, risk management, innovation, and sustainable supplier relationships through negotiations pre and post award of contracts, you will direct and lead the research and analysis of market trends and best practice. This will ensure procurement strategies and approaches are current, risks are identified, and governance frameworks are effective, and insight is gained through the analysis of costs, benefits, and supply markets.  

As a procurement professional with knowledge of procurement principles and best practices, category management and embedding extensive social value, the role of Strategic Category Manager is an exciting role, key in the transition of Commercial Services. This role would provide you with the opportunity to deliver real change, social value, and transfer of knowledge to team members at a key point in the journey of the Government of Jersey and Commercial Services.
