Category Manager - Special Equipment

About the role

At National Grid, we're building the energy systems that will power the future. As we accelerate the transition to a cleaner, more resilient energy network, we're looking for a specialist procurement professional to take ownership of a brand-new category area with the opportunity to shape strategy from the ground up.

This is an exciting opportunity to join our Procurement team as a Category Manager - Specialist Equipment, leading the development and delivery of category strategies across a critical and evolving area of the business.

You'll have the freedom to establish long-term category plans, develop key supplier relationships and drive commercial value, while ensuring security of supply, managing risk and supporting National Grid's sustainability ambitions. You'll work closely with stakeholders across the business, providing market insight, strategic recommendations and procurement leadership that help deliver our business objectives.

The role is hybrid with an expectation to attend the office in Warwick upto 2 days a week.

What you'll do

Develop and implement category strategies for specialist equipment.
Identify opportunities to create value, reduce risk and improve supplier performance.
Build strong relationships with strategic suppliers and key business stakeholders.
Provide commercial expertise, market intelligence and procurement recommendations.
Lead sourcing activities, contract negotiations and supplier management initiatives.
Support the delivery of secure, sustainable and resilient supply chains.
Lead and develop a high-performing procurement team

What you'll need

Significant experience developing and delivering category strategies.
A track record of driving value through strategic sourcing and supplier management.
Excellent stakeholder engagement, influencing and negotiation skills.
Experience managing supply chain risk and delivering commercial outcomes.
Previous leadership experience, with the ability to develop and inspire teams.
CIPS qualification, degree-level education, or equivalent experience

What you'll get

A competitive salary between £61,000.00 - £76,000.00– dependent on capability.

As well as your base salary, you will receive a bonus based on personal and company performance and a competitive contributory pension scheme where we will double match your contribution to a maximum company contribution of 12%. You will also have access to a number of flexible benefits such as a share incentive plan, salary sacrifice car and technology schemes, support via employee assistance lines and matched charity giving to name a few.

This role closes on 13th August 2026 at 23.59, however we encourage candidates to submit their application as early as possible and not wait until the published closing date as this can vary.

We value diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive workplace for all. We welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates – we make appointments purely on merit, assessed against objective selection criteria. We support flexible working and will make reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process should you have any physical or mental impairment which may affect your ability to participate in the process.

Please note that in most cases, National Grid is unable to offer sponsorship for employment under the UK points-based immigration system. As such, applicants must have the legal right to work in the UK without requiring sponsorship now or in the future under the UK points-based immigration system. However, in exceptional circumstances where there is a clear and demonstrable need for specialist skills that cannot be sourced from the local labour market, National Grid may consider offering sponsorship. All applications are welcome from candidates who meet these requirements, regardless of race, nationality, or ethnic origin.
