🌍 Global Facilities / Site Services Category Procurement Manager
Remote UK | Global remit
Build a global strategy. Shape how a purpose‑led business operates.
At Dechra, our purpose is clear: to sustainably improve animal health and welfare worldwide. As a growing global veterinary pharmaceutical business operating across 27 countries, how we manage our estate, partners and facilities matters more than ever.
This newly defined role offers a rare opportunity to own and lead Dechra’s global real estate and facilities category — shaping strategy from the ground up and influencing decisions at the very top of the organisation.
🚀 The Opportunity
As Estate & Facilities Services Category Manager, you’ll sit within our global Indirect Procurement function and take end‑to‑end ownership of:
- Our global facilities and site services contracts
- Strategic lease negotiations, renewals and site transitions
- Global facility services sourcing and supplier performance
- Building standards, governance and long‑term category strategy
This is not a maintenance role. It’s a strategic, change‑driven position designed to bring consistency, commercial rigour and long‑term value across a complex, international footprint.
You’ll work closely with senior stakeholders across Procurement, Legal, Finance and Leadership, partnering with the Head of Indirect Procurement to deliver meaningful cost optimisation, supplier improvement and operational resilience.
🌐 What You’ll Be Known For
- Owning global visibility of facilities / site services, obligations and risks
- Leading high‑value lease and service contract negotiations
- Driving standardisation, consolidation and TCO‑led savings
🧠 Who This Role Will Suit
This role is ideal for a commercially sharp, self‑driven procurement leader who enjoys operating with autonomy and influence.
You’ll likely bring:
- Strong experience in facilities category management within a global / complex organisation
- Confidence negotiating leases, supplier contracts and commercial terms
- Proven success building category strategies from the ground up
- Solid understanding of contractual and legal risk
- The credibility to influence senior stakeholders globally
🌱 Why Dechra?
- A clear, meaningful purpose beyond profit
- Genuine exposure to senior leadership
- Freedom to shape strategy, not just execute it
- A collaborative, inclusive culture that invests in long‑term careers
- The chance to make a visible, global impact
📍 What We Offer
- Remote working (UK base)
- 33 days holiday (incl. bank holidays) + purchase scheme
- 8% employer pension contribution
- Bonus & car/car allowance (discretionary)
- Private healthcare, life assurance & enhanced family leave
