An opportunity has become available for a Procurement Category Manager to join our team!

As a qualified and experienced procurement professional you will make use of your experience of working within the public sector and enjoy meeting the needs of internal customers and delivering quantifiable benefits back to the organisation.

You will be responsible for procuring a wide range of equipment and services to support our research and teaching activities predominantly across the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Engineering, often working closely with internal stakeholders to ensure that external funding deadlines are successfully met.
