Location: Hybrid/Remote - Sites in the South East/Home Counties & North West
When recruiting a role that involves the protection of critical UK infrastructure, there's a temptation to get all James Bond about it.
We could try and get your attention by saying things like, "Have you dreamed of protecting the nation and being a national hero or heroine"?
But, let's face it, you're a Senior IT Category Buying Specialist. And high-speed car chases around UK cities aren't usually part of the job. Unless you've just dropped your caramel latte in your lap, perhaps.
However, this is a crucial role for our client, a global player within the specialist energy, electricity and power generation sector. Our client is offering a 12-18 months contract to join their IT procurement team.
They're focused on improving efficiency in their global operations and making sure their data and systems are secure and robust.
As such, they want to strengthen their IT procurement team with the appointment of a category and procurement management professional into the role of Senior Buyer/Category Specialist - IT.
That's where you fit in. And you won't need a car that turns into a submarine.
Currently, their IT Infrastructure, Cyber Defence and Application Development are outsourced. So, your focus will be on next generation outsourcing with high levels of customer satisfaction as a key driver for our client's IT strategy.
Reporting to a Senior Category Manager, you will also work closely with the IT/Information Technology team, and your role will take on a UK and European perspective.
Core Aims:
- Working across different departments, develop plans for the next few years that incorporate the crucial aims for the category and a list of actions to achieve these goals.
- Build solid relationships with suppliers to ensure they understand your requirements and deliver on SLAs. Then, use those strong relationships to confidently challenge business partners to think and act differently, to be creative and open to new ideas and to explore new supply chain possibilities.
- Contribute to the development of the Procurement function's capability by bringing your experience of best practices from other industries and employers.
The Ideal Person will possess the following qualifications, experience, skills and competencies:
- Available imminently to commence a 12-18 months contract paying £500 per day via an Umbrella company.
- A university degree and, ideally, CIPS (or equivalent) qualification
- Experience working across global operations or multi-site environments and a keen sense of cultural awareness
- Currently working within a high-security sector such as defence, nuclear, aerospace, marine, ministry of defence, utilities etc.
- Understanding of the nuances of IT contracts.
- A proven track record in value delivery, improvement activity and best practice development in IT procurement.
- Understanding Information Technology markets, suppliers and technologies and how to leverage them for value for our client
- Building IT sub-category and category strategies to describe how value will be delivered in the short, medium and long term
- Negotiating with IT- suppliers to drive the right commercial and contractual outcomes
- Building relationships internally and externally to enable you to be successful in your role and to contribute to the development of our client as a world-class procurement organisation
- A thirst for knowledge, an inquisitive mindset and a drive for results.
- Knowledge of Procurement systems and technologies and the ability to put operational measures in place to ensure contracts deliver brilliantly.
In return, our client offers a very competitive salary and blue-chip benefits package and the opportunity to develop your career within a market leader. The role is offered on a interim 12-18 month contract and hybrid/remote basis with regular visits to sites in the North West and Home Counties for cross-functional engagement.

As part of this strategic development plan, they would like to appoint a Category Management Specialist to sit within their large pan European procurement team. The main focus of this role is to work alongside each Category Manager to help them develop longer-term procurement strategies for each category.
As such, you'll be mentoring, coaching, and developing the category management team to help them think differently and innovate new ideas. This may take the form of working one-to-one with the managers or running workshops to create an open culture of collaboration between the team.
So, they're looking for a category management expert who's used to working in a blue-chip, world-class procurement function and can bring new ideas into the company.

Business Development Manager - Cargo/Freight
c£Very Competitive + Bonus + Blue Chip Benefits
Kent (Hybrid Role)
Commutable from Dover, Folkestone, Maidstone, Ashford, Hythe, New Romney, Deal, Ramsgate, Sandwich, Canterbury, Margate, Broadstairs, Whitstable, Faversham, Sittingbourne
You may be wondering why an organisation like a port needs a Business Development Manager.
And, on the face of it, it's a fair question. After all, they're a major British port. People have already heard of them and know what they do.
Or, at least, they think they know what they do. But you'd be amazed what they don't know.
Recently, our client undertook the most extensive programme of investment in contemporary times. This programme will see the operational land base capacity expand by 20%, deliver new refrigerated cargo infrastructure, provide a new 250-berth marina and create opportunity for further property development.
As such, there are massive opportunities for growth, and that's where you come in.
Clearly, cargo plays a massive part in the company's activities, and this will be your initial focus. The Port already has an extensive customer base for you to engage with and strengthen relationships. But they want to extend their customer portfolio to increase business with ferries, perishables, and construction sectors.
Coupled with this will be creating new relationships with logistics providers, hauliers, supply chain, and agency businesses within London, the South East and further afield through various activities to proactively seek and introduce new business to the Port.
During all your activities, there will be a constant undercurrent of actively promoting the Port through trade events in the UK and worldwide to increase awareness of its capabilities.
As for your background, you'll be a highly competent Business Development Expert with significant experience in the cargo industry in a port, haulage, logistics, supply chain or related sectors.
You will need an excellent understanding of the freight and logistics industries. In particular, the construction, unitised or ferry freight sector, Agri bulks or general cargo handling operations. Plus, you'll already have established relationships across the industry, particularly with customers, agents, and the cargo supply chain.
You'll also have solid marketing experience and be proficient in developing and implementing proposals in a highly commercial environment.
So, if you'd like to take on this fascinating challenge, please indicate your interest by emailing your CV, quoting reference LX 1232217

Sales Managers - Very Financially Rewarding Career Opportunity
"A rare chance for established Sales Executives to join a successful asset finance business and develop their sales management skills to the next level".
Base Salary £50-60000 (DOE) OTE £150,000 Fantastic Benefits
East Midlands
Commutable from: Northampton, Kettering, Wellingborough, Rushden, Olney, Newport Pagnell, Towcester, Daventry, Buckingham, Brackley, Corby, Milton Keynes, Luton, Bedford, Higham Ferrers, Banbury
Are you a Sales professional at the top of your game?
Maybe you've left college or university, taken a job in sales and reached a high level of achievement in your industry.
Life is good. You're earning decent money.
But perhaps you're wondering what's next? Have you reached a ceiling but have the ambition and drive to go further?
Our client is looking for someone like you. They work in the commercial finance industry and want a rising star to develop into a superstar through their fast-track sales management programme.
You'll be working alongside the Managing Director, Operations Director, and Sales Director, who will all give you first-hand training of their business to help you develop into a Sales Manager in 18 months. As part of that training, our client will support and pay for you to obtain your LIBF Diploma in Asset Finance (DipAF), if you wish.
Currently, you may be working in a role such as prestige car sales, high-end property sales, or capital equipment, or other B2B or B2C sales and you'll have learned the art of consultative selling. You'll have developed your communication skills to work with companies of all shapes and sizes. And that variety is one of the key features of this role. For example, you could go from talking to a small wine-bar owner about finance for new fridges to the FD of a £10m business wanting finance to purchase a fleet of commercial vehicles.
Your day-to-day role will combine generating new business from warm leads, which you'll aim to convert into long-term accounts for you to manage. Getting to know your clients' businesses will be critical to your success as you'll be able to identify further opportunities to provide financial solutions to help them grow and thrive.
Our client's industry works at a fast pace, and you will have multiple deals in progress at any one time (perhaps 30-40), which can go from initial contact to funds in the bank in a matter of days. As such, you'll be able to flex your time-management muscles and enjoy your sales commission being paid shortly after the client is onboard.
As you rise through the business, you'll then mentor, train and lead other sales executives to bring through the next generation of brokers in the business. And to top it all you will also benefit from an override commission on earnings generated by the team, as well as many other market-leading benefits.
