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.
