You will be responsible for a large number of categories including software, hardware, telecoms and corporate services. You will be required to both deliver and oversee the development and management of various category strategies as well as understand the landscape, enabling you to challenge the business and make recommendations. In coordinating and delivering your own workload and that of relevant staff, you will ensure processes allow customer requirements to be delivered in an optimal manner.
