Head of Labour Procurement

Другое

• Labour is one of the largest cost areas across Company Group, and external workforce services are critical to the daily performance of our fulfilment centres and warehouses.
• As we continue to scale across Europe, we are establishing a dedicated Group Labour Procurement function to bring stronger commercial ownership, transparency and consistency to this strategically important category.
• We are looking for a Head of Labour Procurement who will design and lead our Group-wide sourcing and commercial strategy for external workforce services across the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Hungary and Romania.
• This is a build role, not an inherit role. You will create the category strategy, establish the commercial governance and introduce scalable, data-driven and AI-supported procurement processes across the Group.
• You will take ownership of one of Company Group’s largest and most business-critical spend categories.
• You will build a new Group procurement function and shape how external workforce services are sourced and managed across five markets.
• Your work will have a direct impact on operational continuity, cost efficiency and the performance of our fulfilment centres.
• You will lead high-value tenders and negotiate directly with senior executives of staffing and workforce providers.
• You will work at the intersection of Finance, Operations and HR, with significant visibility across Group and local leadership.
• Company is an AI-first company , giving you the opportunity to introduce automation, analytics and AI-supported tools across sourcing, contracting and supplier management.
• Own and execute the Group’s procurement strategy for external workforce services supporting our fulfilment centres and warehouses across all markets.
• Run tenders and lead negotiations at executive level; contract through the Group’s standard procurement and contract management tooling.
• Own the commercial architecture and cost governance of the category: benchmark provider pricing across markets and sites, drive cost transparency, and deliver measurable savings against a spend baseline you establish.
• Establish supplier performance management: service levels, quality, and delivery against contract, with regular scorecard reviews with providers and internal stakeholders.
• Embed AI, digital procurement tools, and analytics to create full visibility of category spend and automate sourcing and contract lifecycle processes.
• Monitor provider market trends, labour regulation, and pricing across CEE and DACH to future-proof the Group’s operations.
• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain, Law, or a related field; Master’s degree preferred.
• 8–10+ years of experience in senior procurement, workforce/staffing, or category management roles — ideally with deep exposure to agency labour, temporary staffing, or outsourced services, from either the buying or the provider side.
• Proven track record running large tenders and negotiating labour or service contracts at executive level.
• Working knowledge of temporary agency work legislation and labour cost mechanics; comfort operating across CEE/DACH regulatory environments.
• Strong commercial and analytical acumen — you think in unit cost, service levels, and total cost, not just contract value.
• Strong command of AI and digital tools in procurement, including automation, analytics, and contract management systems.
• Strategic mindset combined with a hands-on approach — you are comfortable building the function and its processes from the ground up.
• Excellent stakeholder management: you will operate between Operations, HR, Finance, and provider executives, often with conflicting interests.
• Fair reward - You’ll get a strong fixed salary — no bonus games, no politics. Great work is rewarded clearly and fairly.
• Good food every day - You’ll enjoy a free lunch every day and fresh fruit & veggies in the office. Because good food fuels great work.
• Life, not just work - You’ll have real flexibility – three days in the office, 2 days Home Office where it suits you. And unlimited paid vacation based on trust.
• Personal growth - You’ll grow as fast as Company does. Every challenge is a chance to learn and make an impact.
• Real impact - What you do here matters. You’ll see your work changing how people eat and live — from day one.
• Recognition among colleagues - Your effort won’t go unnoticed. You can recognise others (and be recognised) through peer credits to use in our internal cafeteria.
• Xtra membership - You’ll get free Xtra membership and 10% cashback on everything you buy on Company.cz .
• Sport & wellbeing - You’ll stay active with company sports challenges or a subsidised Multisport card .
• A team that sticks together - You’ll work with people who move fast, support each other and celebrate wins together.
• If this sounds like you… You’re someone who takes ownership, acts fast and gets things done. Ready to bake something great with us?
