Key job responsibilities
The Regional Procurement Manager will hire, develop, and lead a team of Procurement Managers across Italy and France, building a team able to deliver procurement solutions and scale with network demands on a long-term planning horizon. They will set the procurement strategy and priorities across the AMZL and ATS business units in both countries, ensuring alignment with regional and local operational goals, and lead the team to develop and manage a dependable, cost-effective, and high-performing supply chain for locally managed goods and services across multiple sites and countries. A core part of the role is ensuring network-wide standardization for all procurement-related processes and operations location service activities across the Italy–France perimeter, while partnering with internal customers and cross-country stakeholders to positively influence spending decisions. The role leads complex, multi-country sourcing engagements and RFXs where appropriate, analyzes opportunities to leverage and rationalize the supply base using smart analytical tools and techniques, and implements supplier agreements and contracts with cross-functional stakeholders and suppliers. They will also participate in start-up teams for new local buildings — securing long lead-time capital purchases and establishing multi-year contracts — drive 100% compliance with policies and procedures together with operations partners, and drive the elimination of 'waste' within procurement processes to define best and standardized practice across the network.
