Job description
Senior Buyer / Category Manager- Redditch office based

£38,000 - £42,000 per annum, depending on experience

Own the Category. Shape the Strategy. Drive Change.

We're looking for a commercially astute and ambitious procurement professional who wants more than just another buying role.

This is an opportunity for someone who thrives on ownership, enjoys challenging the status quo, and wants the freedom to make a real impact. As our Senior Buyer / Category Manager, you'll take the lead on supplier strategy, category development, sourcing decisions, and commercial negotiations across a diverse product portfolio.

This is a highly visible role where your ideas, decisions, and initiatives will directly influence business performance. You'll have the autonomy to identify opportunities, improve processes, strengthen supplier relationships, and shape the future direction of procurement within a growing organisation.

Working closely with senior stakeholders across supply chain, operations, finance, product development, and customer services, you'll become the go-to expert for your categories, taking full accountability for delivering commercial value, supply resilience, and continuous improvement.

This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced Buyer, Category Manager, or Procurement Specialist who is ready to step into a role with genuine influence and ownership.

You'll have the opportunity to:
  • Take full ownership of your categories and supplier portfolio.

  • Lead strategic sourcing initiatives and commercial negotiations.

  • Drive supplier performance and implement meaningful improvements.

  • Influence procurement strategy and business decision-making.

  • Identify and deliver cost-saving and value-creation opportunities.

  • Improve systems, processes, and ways of working.

  • Build your reputation as a trusted commercial partner within the business.

  • Make your mark within a growing organisation that values initiative and fresh thinking.

We're looking for someone who is naturally curious, commercially driven, and motivated by making things better. Someone who sees opportunities where others see challenges and enjoys creating positive change rather than simply maintaining the status quo.

The successful Senior Buyer/ Category Manager will have the following skills and experience.
  • A senior-level role with genuine ownership and autonomy.

  • The opportunity to shape procurement practices and influence business performance.

  • A supportive leadership team that values ideas and initiative.

  • The chance to drive meaningful change and see the results of your work.

  • Professional development and future progression opportunities.

  • Competitive salary and benefits package.

If you're looking for a role where you can take ownership, challenge existing processes, build strong supplier partnerships, and make a lasting impact, we'd love to hear from you.
