I'm looking for a collaborative, curious, and commercially minded Logistics Category Manager to join a Global Sourcing & Procurement team.
This role is your opportunity to make a real impact, shaping strategic sourcing across supply chain, logistics, and beyond. You'll partner with internal teams and external suppliers to implement smart, forward-thinking solutions that deliver measurable value - all while supporting the needs of a fast-paced, global business.
What you'll be doing:
Driving and executing international and national sourcing strategies across key spend categories
Leading commercial supplier relationships with a strong focus on cost, quality, and risk trade-offs
Supporting logistics operations including warehousing, transportation, inventory, and 3PL contract logistics
Advising on software and tech integration to improve supply chain visibility and efficiency
Partnering with cross-functional teams across Europe and globally to deliver scalable sourcing solutions
Driving innovation, continuous improvement, and value creation through smart vendor partnerships
What you'll bring:
Experience in strategic category management across logistics or supply chain categories
A track record of leading multi-country sourcing and contract negotiations
Strong commercial, analytical, and stakeholder management skills
Knowledge of sourcing tools like Oracle, SAP, Ariba, or similar platforms
An ability to spot trends, manage risks, and identify innovative sourcing opportunities
Confidence in leading virtual, multicultural project teams and fostering collaborative success
A practical understanding of concepts like total cost of ownership, cost modelling, and offshoring
This isn't just about procurement - it's about being part of a global team that champions smart, sustainable, and strategic thinking. If you're excited about delivering real-world impact in a people-first business, I'd love to chat.
