ROLE PURPOSE
The Category Manager is responsible for the development of the Category strategy in view of increasing SBM competitiveness and actively participating to SBM business development. The category strategy is a consolidation of:
• Your technical expertise of the products in your category in liaison with technical stakeholders
• Your knowledge of the energy market pertaining to your category
• Your assessment of the capabilities of the key vendors and their sub-vendors in your category including the manufacturing processes, execution and subcontracting model
• Suitability of the vendors capabilities and their execution model to SBM’s Product Lines
You are in charge of the effective management of strategically important vendors and the efficient global sourcing of key equipment.
You help to ensure that projects and operations receive the full benefits of these arrangements by supporting the correct implementation of the procurement strategy on proposals/projects/operations.
You develop a long-term relationship with the strategic vendors and seek to continually and jointly improve vendor performance
ROLE CONTRIBUTION
1. In order that the Category Strategy meets both company strategic objectives, and future project and operations requirements, you are to:

2.4. Ensure that best practices / lessons learned are captured, formalized, shared and implemented for continuous improvement – acting as memory keeper.
2.5. Lead the drafting of generic Quality Control Plans (QCP) for the equipment related to your category based on multi-disciplinary approach
2.6. Serve as SC Group expert for your category and be recognized as focal point by the key stakeholders (Proposal, Engineering, Construction, Operations, Project Management) to provide assistance for any project/operations issues related to your category.
The measure of your effectiveness in this will be:
• Demonstrated actions to monitor and implement lessons learned
3. In order that category performance achieves the Group SC objectives, you are to:
3.1. Ensure compliance with category sourcing strategy during Win, Execute and Operate phases
3.2. Measure and monitor the contracted savings from the implementation of the category strategy
3.3. Monitor and report the SC KPIs for the category (e.g. savings, % of spend under group framework agreements)
The measure of your effectiveness in this will be:
• % of estimated savings in schedule delivered for the category
• % of spend managed under GFA for the category
4. In order to develop and nurture a sustainable collaboration with strategic vendors and achieve agreed improvement objectives in terms of quality, price, reliability and/or capability you are to:
4.1. Act as the single point of contact for communication with the vendor
4.2. Increase SBM attractiveness in order to achieve greater value (e.g. innovation, specific investments)
4.3. Monitor vendor’s load level, capacity and investment plans
4.4. Identify risks & opportunities related to the vendor (e.g. merging & acquisition) and anticipate any changes impacting the vendor relationship strategy
4.5. Define the Vendor Relationship Strategy, engage and mobilize the vendor to get the most out of the relationship
4.6. Provide support to Project & Operations teams when the relationship with the vendor is at risk (e.g. dispute & claims resolution, manufacturing performance, slot allocation)
