Senior Category Manager, Technology

About this role

Every organization needs supplies and services to operate. From laptops and rental cars to pens and pallets, all businesses, schools, and government bodies have procurement needs. That’s where CoreTrust comes in. CoreTrust works with our members and suppliers to transform how procurement professionals buy billions of dollars’ worth of supplies and services annually. We’re on a mission to be the one place where buyers and suppliers connect, secure purchasing agreements, transact, and partner to accelerate value and realize savings.

We’re seeking a Senior Category Manager, Technology to help shape and grow our technology category at CoreTrust.

This role sits at the intersection of procurement, product strategy, supplier partnerships, and go-to-market execution. You’ll be responsible for developing category strategy, building high-impact supplier relationships, and partnering closely with Sales to translate complex technology solutions into clear, compelling value for our members.

This is not a traditional “back-of-house” procurement role. Success in this position requires someone who can think commercially, communicate value propositions externally, and influence outcomes across teams—balancing deep category expertise with a strong understanding of how the business grows.
