dementia, and respite care. Their mission is to create a comfortable,
safe, and engaging environment for all residents, promoting
independence and individuality. They are also known for their
commitment to staff training and development, ensuring the highest
standards of care are consistently delivered. They are recognised for
their significant contributions to improving the quality of life for
the elderly. As such, they are now urgently seeking a Category Manager
with property and facilities management experience to help them on
this journey.
Your new role
This role
involves implementing an agreed procurement strategy for the relevant
spend categories. This includes creating, innovating, and delivering
supply chain solutions that align with business goals and are fit for
purpose, thereby delivering tangible benefits and value. You will
drive a business partner approach with senior stakeholders, ensuring
the delivery of professional advice, guidance, and challenge, all
underpinned by expert knowledge of controlled spend areas. Via
collaboration with the company and through project execution, you will
ensure that agreed project targets are delivered on time and within
budget. It involves challenging stakeholder requirements and educating
stakeholders on the supply base and the market to drive maximum
benefit and preferred supplier compliance. You will also work with the
key stakeholders in promoting and delivering effective contract and
supplier management practices. Lastly, the role manages risks and
ensures value for money through effective negotiations and putting in
place appropriate contractual relationships. This role has no direct
reports and covers addressable third party spend of circa 20m and will
be involved in all major procurements.
What you'll need
to succeed
You will have solid experience in commercial
negotiations more specifically in the development, drafting,
structuring, negotiating, and managing of supplier contracts. It is
expected that you will have the ability to financially evaluate
proposals from a cost and risk perspective, along with the preparation
of business justifications recommending actions to be taken regarding
business proposals. Experience in supplier evaluations is necessary,
as well as a deep understanding of the market and supply base in
relation to the categories of spend under control. You will have solid
experience of running tender exercises, including the completion of
tender documentation, and an understanding of the legal aspects of the
supply chain. Knowledge of category management principles, evaluation,
and financial/risk analysis of proposals is required. The candidate
should also have project management skills and the ability to read,
understand, and interpret contractual terms and conditions with a view
to mitigating risk. It's crucial for this role that you have
experience within property and facilities
management.
