ABOUT YOU

With thorough knowledge of public procurement law, you will have experience of vetting contract terms and conditions, with a good understanding of contract law. Significant experience in a similar role is key, alongside experience of managing a number of project simultaneously.
With flexibility and a keen eye for detail, you will have the ability to work to tight deadlines and manage conflicting priorities. You will have the ability to influence decision making at all levels, whilst being able to build relationships and provide innovative solutions to complex problems.

An opportunity has arisen for a dynamic professional to join our small but sector-leading, high impact and close-knit Procurement Team. As a Category Manager, you would be responsible for managing a number of procurement categories, including digital services, to ensure that the supplier contracts awarded are compliantly procured, give value for money, support the University’s strategic plan and take proportionate account of risk. This is an exciting time to be joining us, as we look to take advantage of the new public procurement legislation.
As part of the Finance division, you would follow a hybrid working pattern, with an expectation to work from our main campus 1 to 2 days per week, dependant on ongoing activities and team requirements.
