Interim Category Manager (Professional Services) - Outside IR35
Macildowie are exclusively partnering with a public sector organisation in Leicestershire who are recruiting for a 6 month interim opportunity on an outside IR35 basis.

Although it is for a Public Sector organisation they are wanting an individual who ideally has a blend of public and private sector experience, who has the exposure from the private sector as well as being commercially minded and solutions focussed.

Benefits
- Outside IR35 - able to work through limited company
- Rate - they are looking c£475-£540 per day
- Hybrid working - 2 days on site (Office based Leicestershire) with the rest from home - flexibility to come in more if this is wanted

Role
You will be joining a busy, challenging function and so in order to be successful you need to be a proactive and assured procurement professional able to engage and influence senior stakeholders. You will have a handover with an outgoing head but they need someone who will be able to pick up the work quickly and be able to add value within a short period.

IMPORTANT
This will be a very hands on role and the day to day will require you to stretch vertically to clear through some legacy areas of work. If you want more of a purely strategic, hands off role where you are delegating to a team then this isn't the role for you.

Requirements
- 3+ years public sector procurement experience including end to end processes and experience at Manager or above level
- Experience within Professional services
- Desirable - experience within a commercial business in addition to the above
- Immediately available/ able to start a new role within 2 or less weeks' notice

If you meet all of the minimum requirements and are interested in exploring this opportunity, please apply now as we will be sharing CV's over the next couple days with the view to interview and appoint by the end of this week/ early next week.

Please put your home postcode on your CV when applying. Our recruitment tech uses this to make sure your CV is reviewed by the relevant consultant, for the relevant job(s), in the relevant geography.
