Senior Sourcing Manager (12-months fixed-term contract), Fleet sourcing
Posted Updated
Delivering on Amazon's customer promise depends on having the right vehicles, in the right place, at the right cost. The fleet business powering last mile operations across EU and MENA (Middle East and North Africa) is scaling rapidly into new vehicle types and new geographies, and the Sourcing team needs a Senior Sourcing Manager to help keep pace. In this 12-month fixed-term role, you will own sourcing for assigned fleet categories across both branded (OEM) and variable (rental) last mile fleet — identifying supply options, negotiating terms, and securing committed capacity. On the branded side, you will lead OEM engagement for the MENA region, building the commercial case to secure vehicle capacity. On the rental side, you will grow the supplier portfolio through the Fleet Exchange Marketplace, onboarding new suppliers across EU with a particular focus on southern European markets. If you are a self-starter who enjoys supplier negotiations, data-backed analysis, and working in a business that moves fast, we want to hear from you.
Key job responsibilities
- Own end-to-end sourcing for assigned EU/MENA fleet categories, from identifying supply options to negotiating terms and securing committed capacity across both branded and variable (rental) last mile fleet.
- Lead OEM engagement for the MENA region, preparing commercial cases and running supplier discussions to secure vehicle capacity for Amazon last mile operations.
- Grow the rental supplier portfolio through the Fleet Exchange Marketplace by sourcing new leads and onboarding suppliers onto the platform across EU, with a focus on Italy, Spain, and France.
- Build data-backed sourcing models and analysis to support recommendations to senior leaders, and influence internal stakeholders to secure alignment on sourcing decisions.
- Develop and improve sourcing processes and standards that can scale across markets, mentoring team members and sharing best practices as the programme expands.
A day in the life
You begin by reviewing supplier pipeline data and checking progress on open negotiations. Mid-morning, you join a call with an OEM partner in the MENA region to walk through your commercial proposal and address their questions. After lunch, you shift focus to the Fleet Exchange Marketplace, following up with a prospective rental supplier in Italy to move them through onboarding. Later, you pull together a sourcing recommendation for leadership, pressure-testing your assumptions with a colleague from the capacity planning team before finalizing.
