Assistant Category Manager – Safety and Nautical

Job Description

Sourcing, Purchasing & Receiving includes procurement operations roles that are accountable for obtaining goods and services required for indirect business operations (e.g. computers and software, consultancy/advisory services, office equipment, travel, maintenance, etc.), also flexible workforce resourcing procured by a Purchase Order (both Frontline and Office-based workforces). Responsibilities include: product/service sourcing, contract & bid procedures, supplier selection, pricing & terms negotiation, purchase order processing, contract administration, receiving of goods/services, and supplier performance management, as well as purchasing efficiency & streamlining optimizations. Excluded: procurement of physical assets used by our E2E Logistics & Services business, also office real estate acquisition and management.
Professional stream includes those who are individual contributors with main emphasis on applying technical/discipline knowledge rather than managing people to achieve results – although coaching/mentoring less experienced staff, informal supervisory responsibilities, or overseeing work of other lower level professionals or manage processes and program are common.

Individual work ranges from setting objectives and delivering on own work responsibilities to being a leading expert within a given field and influencing long term tactical decisions of the organization.

Progression within this stream reflects increasing depth of professional knowledge, project management capability, and the ability to influence others.
A colleague at this level works independently within defined boundaries and guidelines in a specific area but will need supervision and support on more complex tasks. Knowledge is required for the application of practical methods and techniques, work procedures and processes.

Solutioning is through a choice between known alternatives, within the area of expertise and the leader will evaluate the appropriateness and effectiveness of the solution.
The job requires previous work experience in a related area, or practical knowledge obtained via advanced education.

Leaders at this level manage employees day-to-day and set priorities to ensure task completion.
