Full Job Description

We require an enthusiastic Procurement Category Manager for the Professional Services & Facilities Management category.

Reporting to the Head of Procurement, the Category Manager will manage, maintain and develop supply agreements to achieve best value for money and good practice in non-pay expenditure.

The Category Manager (CM) must co-ordinate and apply good procurement procedures and techniques to meet the business objectives of Queen Mary University of London (Queen Mary) with professional competence.

The CM will lead and manage the category requirements to identify and deliver best value solutions for stakeholders as well as to actively support the value for money agenda.

The CM is required to effectively prioritise and plan procurement whilst working in collaboration with stakeholders to ensure that best value, transparent and compliant tenders are carried out.

About the Department

The Finance department is responsible for the effective financial management and stewardship of the University ensuring the university's financial position remains healthy and sustainable.

The Procurement team, part of the Finance Department, delivers comprehensive support and expert advice to both suppliers and Queen Mary departments, ensuring best value is achieved while maintaining full compliance with relevant legislation.

The Procurement function at Queen Mary have recently won 'Procurement Team of the Year' and 'Individual of the Year' at the National GO Awards 2025, which demonstrates the team's outstanding commitment to excellence, innovation, and delivering best-in-class procurement practices within the Education sector.

At Queen Mary University of London, we believe that a diversity of ideas helps us achieve the previously unthinkable.

Throughout our history, we've fostered social justice and improved lives through academic excellence. And we continue to live and breathe this spirit today, not because it's simply 'the right thing to do' but for what it helps us achieve and the intellectual brilliance it delivers.

We continue to embrace diversity of thought and opinion in everything we do, in the belief that when views collide, disciplines interact, and perspectives intersect, truly original thought takes form.

We offer competitive salaries, access to a generous pension scheme, 30 days' leave per annum (pro-rata for part-time/fixed term), a season ticket loan scheme and access to a comprehensive range of personal and professional development opportunities. In addition, we offer a range of work life balance and family friendly, inclusive employment policies, campus facilities and flexible working arrangements.
