Full job description

In our ‘always on’ world, we believe it’s essential to have a genuine connection with the work you do.

Why CommScope:

CommScope is on a quest to deliver connectivity that empowers how we live, work, and learn. Our employees push the boundaries of communications technology that enables game-changing discoveries like 5G, the Internet of Things, and gigabit speeds for everyone, everywhere. With our unmatched expertise in copper, fiber, and wireless infrastructure, our global clients rely on us to outperform today and be ready for the needs of tomorrow.

We are looking for a Category Manager who owns the end to end strategy and performance of one or more spend categories (e.g. Copper, Metals, Polymers etc.). They will define category strategies, lead sourcing projects, negotiate commercial value, manage supplier risk and performance, and partner with stakeholders to deliver savings, resilience, and innovation aligned to business objectives.

Key Responsibilities

Category Strategy & Market Intelligence

Develop 3 year category strategies and annual operating plans, covering demand, supply markets, make/buy, risk, sustainability, and value levers.

Continuously monitor market trends, cost drivers, FX/commodity impacts, and regulatory changes; translate insights into actionable sourcing and contract strategies.

Build and maintain a robust category pipeline with quantified benefits, risk mitigation actions, and milestones.

Sourcing & Negotiation

Lead end to end sourcing events (RFI/RFP/RFQ) including requirements gathering, evaluation design, total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis, and scenario modelling.

Run strategic negotiations; secure optimal commercial terms, service levels, and protections (e.g., SLAs, KPIs, LDs, benchmarking, indexation).

Drive demand management, specification optimisation, and supplier consolidation where appropriate.

Contracting & Supplier Management

Own contract lifecycle: drafting with Legal, redlining, approval workflows, and execution; ensure accurate contract repository and metadata.

Implement supplier performance management: SBRs, scorecards, corrective action plans, innovation reviews, and continuous improvement.

Proactively manage supplier risk (financial, operational, ESG, compliance) with appropriate controls and contingency plans.

Stakeholder & Change Leadership

Partner with budget owners to align strategies with business goals and forecasted demand; communicate plans and progress transparently.

Lead cross functional teams (Finance, Legal, IT, Operations, HSE, Compliance) to land sourcing outcomes and embed new ways of working.

Promote procurement policies, category playbooks, and buying channels; drive adoption and user enablement.

Value Delivery & Governance

Deliver cost savings (hard/soft), cost avoidance, value creation, and working capital benefits; validate with Finance and track to P&L.

Ensure adherence to procurement policy, approvals, and schedule of authorisation; support audits and remediation actions.

Champion responsible procurement, including sustainability (Scope 3 where relevant), DE&I supplier inclusion, and ethical sourcing.

Skills & Experience

Essential

Extensive experience in procurement/sourcing with direct accountability for category strategy and complex negotiations.

Proven success delivering measurable savings and value across medium to large spend portfolios.

Strong commercial contracting experience and supplier performance management.

Advanced analytics and Excel/Business Objects; ability to build cost models and scenarios.

Excellent stakeholder management, influencing, and communication skills.

Comfortable working in a matrix, fast paced environment with multiple priorities.

Desirable

Industry experience relevant to assigned categories

Experience with ERP (SAP Preferred).

Knowledge of sustainability/ESG in supply chains and supplier risk frameworks.

Professional certification (e.g., CIPS, ISM) and/or relevant degree (Business, Supply Chain, Engineering, Finance).

Education & Certification

Bachelor’s degree required; Master’s preferred (or equivalent experience).

CIPS/ISM or similar professional qualification advantageous.

If you want to grow your career alongside bright, passionate, and caring people who strive to create what's next…..come connect to your future at CommScope.
