What you’ll do -

We are seeking to hire a Category Lead (CL) that may lead various Categories within the Engineering and Technical Service Portfolio. Categories may include Communication Protection & Control, Grid Telecom and Generators & Turbine. The mission of the CL is to ensure their categories are meeting performance objectives in support of BC Hydro’s goals and priorities. To do this the CL operates like an overall 'owner/ manager' of the category and is an expert both in understanding the external category environment (suppliers and market) and in BC Hydro’s internal drivers and requirements for the category. The Category Lead leads cross functional teams to develop, implement and sustain categories and works closely with our internal and external stakeholder groups.

Our Supply Chain function is integral to keeping the business running and the lights on. BC Hydro has transformed its Supply Chain model through the implementation of a full category management capability to better meet the business’ requirements for quality, safety and reliability in what we buy for the best total cost and to ensure mutually beneficial supplier relationships.

As the Category Management Supply Chain group, we’re accountable to develop and implement strategies for the key products and services spend categories that account for over 80% of BC Hydro’s annual $2 billion expenditures. Categories are organized into five portfolios: Enterprise, Major Equipment, Engineering & Technical Services, Materials & Logistics, and Field Support Services.

Our category strategies enable us to be smart about what and how we buy from whom, and in how we work with our suppliers, to deliver on BC Hydro’s vision, mission and corporate priorities. One of our priorities is enabling the shift to use of electricity to help with greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions and support BC’s GHG emission target reductions. This will require building infrastructure from more distribution lines to electric vehicle charging stations. To make this happen BC Hydro can’t do it alone – we need more suppliers and to procure products and services.

Throughout the category management lifecycle, they directly perform and/or project manage strategy development, sourcing, business process improvements, supplier relationship management (SRM), benefits realization and provide support on contract management. Key to their success is building and managing relationships across internal business groups, stakeholders and suppliers, and being proficient at organizing and managing across projects and constraints to ensure sourcing, SRM, contract management and business process improvement plans are integrated effectively.

Our ideal candidates are motivated by achieving results for BC Hydro, the success of their teams, and having mutually beneficial supplier relationships. They are pro-active and take ownership. They are adept at creating and using influence where they do not have control. They have expertise managing cross functional teams and projects gained working in a complex business environment. Candidates will have a proven track record of both developing and executing value add category, supplier or similar business strategies to achieve specific business outcomes.

Our profile person is a blend of strategic and pragmatic with a project management orientation: able to create longer-term strategic plans and able to organize and manage the multiple near-term priorities and issues to make progress on the longer term plan every day. Successful candidates will be team players, collaborators with a growth mindset, and able to stay calm and focused in pressured situations. They calibrate their excellent communications and facilitation skills to engage people at all levels to work effectively towards desired outcomes. Their ability to listen and connect the dots allows them to understand, prioritize and integrate business, technical and market trends and requirements to drive business strategies. It is vital that they are able to understand and are comfortable with changing and complex business contexts and adapt their leadership style to influence others at all levels to get things done. The ideal candidates understand what leadership means in the context of their role and within BC Hydro, and they’re open to learning and evolving their leadership.
