Procurement Category Manager, M&S @ JTI

About

Hi, I’m Leah Katmarji 👋 With over six years of experience in procurement, I currently work as a Category Manager for Marketing & Sales at JTI, covering markets across the Middle East. I focus on more than just sourcing—I help drive strategy, build strong supplier relationships, and align procurement goals with commercial and brand priorities. I’ve had the chance to work closely with cross-functional teams, lead negotiations, and optimize spend across a wide range of marketing and sales categories. I enjoy connecting the dots between creativity, compliance, and value—and believe that procurement has the power to be a real business partner, not just a cost center. Over the years, I’ve built solid expertise in category management, stakeholder engagement, supplier management, and ROI-focused sourcing. I’ve earned certifications in contract management, CIPS, and most recently completed Harvard’s Leadership Principles program, strengthening my leadership skills and strategic mindset. 🌍 Languages: Fluent in English and Arabic 💡 Passions: I’m passionate about continuous learning, empowering women in business, creating impact through smart procurement, and finding inspiration through travel, culture, and meaningful conversations. Always open to learning, collaborating, and exchanging ideas with others in procurement, marketing, and beyond. Let’s connect
