FM Category Manager (Hard & Soft Services)
Globally Renowned Organisation | Remote with travel every 2–3 weeks across England & Northern UK (including Scotland)
£65,000 + £5,000 Car Allowance + 10% Bonus + Benefits
This globally renowned organisation is at an exciting stage of its procurement journey, transforming from a traditional purchasing model into a more strategic, category-led function.
Facilities Management is a key focus area within this evolution, and they are now looking to appoint an FM Category Manager to support the development and delivery of a more structured, value-driven approach across hard and soft services.
The Opportunity
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to step into, or further develop within, a category management role in a supportive and evolving environment.
You will take ownership of elements of the FM category, working closely with senior procurement leadership to help shape strategy, improve supplier performance, and embed best-practice procurement processes.
Rather than inheriting a fully mature function, you’ll be part of building it—gaining exposure to transformation, stakeholder engagement, and strategic sourcing across a complex, multi-site estate.
Key Responsibilities
- Support the development and delivery of category strategies across FM (hard & soft services), including M&E, maintenance, cleaning, security, and catering
- Lead and support end-to-end sourcing activity, from market analysis through to contract award and implementation
- Contribute to building best-practice procurement, contract management, and supplier governance frameworks
- Work closely with stakeholders across the business to support a shift towards a more strategic, category-led approach
- Help manage supplier relationships to improve performance, service quality, and cost efficiency
- Support the wider procurement transformation, embedding consistent processes and ways of working
Experience & Background
- Experience in Procurement, Sourcing, or Category Management
- Exposure to FM categories (hard and/or soft services) is beneficial
- Keen to develop within a category-led, strategic procurement environment
- Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
- Proactive, adaptable, and comfortable working in a changing environment
- Degree qualified; CIPS (or studying towards) preferred
Why Apply?
- Ideal opportunity to develop your career within a transforming procurement function
- Gain hands-on experience in category management and strategic sourcing
- Work within a globally recognised organisation with a complex, multi-site environment
- High exposure to senior stakeholders and real impact on how procurement evolves
- Competitive package with strong long-term development opportunities
