AI in this role
Manage third-party logistics procurement, supplier negotiations, and data analytics across Europe.
In this role, you will support Senior Category Managers while managing your own sourcing projects across cross-functional teams.

Key job responsibilities
Strategic Sourcing & Commercial Management
- Lead end-to-end sourcing initiatives (from RFI to contract award), partnering with cross-functional teams and driving category roadmap decisions with senior leadership
- Manage commercial relationships with suppliers, with a focus on achieving optimal cost and performance
- Negotiate costs, contracts, and key commercial terms, ensuring compliance with Amazon standards, policies, and regulations
- Support supplier performance management

- Translate operational and commercial data into actionable insights for tender evaluations, contract renewals, and strategic sourcing decisions
- Partner with Data Engineering and Finance teams to ensure data integrity, automate recurring reports, and reduce manual data handling
- Support the development of self-service analytics capabilities to enable the broader EF Procurement team to make data-driven decisions independently
A day in the life

On a given day, you might join a sourcing review with Operations stakeholders in the morning, then spend the afternoon building a cost comparison model or preparing a supplier negotiation brief. You will regularly connect with Senior Category Managers for guidance on strategy, while independently managing your own sourcing projects and supplier relationships. Expect a proactive, roadmap-driven rhythm where you gather business needs, shape sourcing strategies, and coordinate with 3PL providers to deliver on time.
