Required Experience & Skills

  • 5+ years in IT Procurement / Category Management (software/SaaS, IT services, or platforms). Strong record leading multi‑stage sourcing and complex negotiations.
  • Demonstrable a clear understanding of category planning capability (market analysis, segmentation, strategy, pipeline) and stakeholder management across business/technology and global time zones.
  • Ideally to have hands‑on with Ariba Sourcing & Contracts (or equivalent S2P), or a commitment to learn and work within Ariba, with a clear data stewardship mindset—comfortable owning metadata, templates, and reporting to drive decisions.

  • Strategic and analytical thinker who converts insight into pragmatic commercial actions; excellent written and verbal communication, with a positive and "can do" approach to their work
