The posting

We are looking for a motivated and results-driven Category Manager to join our Global Procurement Operations (GPO) CAPEX Category team within the Equipment, Mobility & Infrastructure (EMI) organization. In this role, you will own end-to-end category management for the Racking (Storage) subcategory across Europe and Latin America, supporting Amazon's fulfillment, sortation, and logistics network.

You will develop and execute sourcing strategies, drive cost savings, manage supplier relationships, and partner cross-functionally to deliver best-in-class storage solutions at optimal total cost of ownership. You will report to the Global Storage Category Leader and work closely with Engineering, Operations, Finance, and regional stakeholders to ensure procurement strategies are aligned with business priorities and network expansion plans.

Key job responsibilities Category Strategy & Execution: Develop and execute regional category strategies for Racking across Europe and Latin America, including market analysis, spend segmentation, should-cost modelling, sourcing roadmaps, and supply chain optimisation.

Cost Optimisation & Market Intelligence: Identify and deliver year-over-year cost savings through negotiation, value engineering, specification optimisation, demand management, and consolidation opportunities. Monitor industry trends, technology shifts, raw material dynamics (particularly steel), and supply market conditions to proactively inform category strategy.

Maintain catalogue accuracy, drive catalogue coverage improvements, and ensure supplier compliance with contractual obligations and Amazon's Supplier Code of Conduct.

Stakeholder Engagement & Process Improvement: Partner with Engineering, Safety, Supply Chain, Finance, Legal, and Operations stakeholders to align sourcing strategies with business requirements. Identify and implement process improvements across the procure-to-pay cycle; define and report on key metrics that measure effectiveness.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
