Interim IT Sourcing Manager required for 6-months (or temp-to-perm)

Your new company

This Senior Buyer/ Category Manager for technology services vacancy can be offered as either a 6-month interim, or temp-to-perm opportunity, depending on your preference.
This client of ours is a well-known financial institution who spends over £2 billion annually with external suppliers, who aim to drive high performance and sustainable value through their supply chain.

Your new role

This role will primarily focus on supporting the Technology Category Director in order to execute key category strategies and managing ongoing supplier relationships. You will ensure delivery of key organisational processes and frameworks when it comes to sourcing as well as SRM. You will lead sourcing and negotiation conversations with key suppliers in the technology space (mainly low-medium level spend) and ensure accurate tracking of contract renewals.

What you'll need to succeed

To succeed in this role, you will have prior experience with IT professional services sourcing. You will be commercially astute with a strong analytical and problem-solving mindset. If you have your CIPS qualification, or are working towards it, this would be advantageous. As this spend area is very outcome-based, you will be familiar with these types of contracts, as well as agile SOW’s and SLA’s.

This role is 6 months initially, and could be offered as a temp-to-permanent opportunity. The role is inside scope of IR35 and on-site presence in London is 3x per week.
