Our culture is built on innovation, entrepreneurship, ownership, and impact. Here, your voice matters - bold thinking is encouraged, and action follows ambition.

About the role:
We are looking for a Sourcing Expert to own the end-to-end sourcing and lifecycle management of airport ground service equipment used in aircraft servicing operations.

The role focuses on high loaders, trucks, trailers, and related special-purpose vehicles, and covers the full lifecycle: sourcing, commercial structuring, fleet strategy, maintenance concepts, and cost optimization.

We are deliberately open to candidates from different backgrounds — including sourcing, logistics procurement, fleet management, or commercial/sales roles with equipment manufacturers or service providers — as long as you bring strong commercial judgment and a lifecycle mindset.

Key Responsibilities:
Support regional sourcing activities for airport ground equipment (high loaders, trucks, trailers, fleet solutions).

Support the development and execution of the transport and warehouse sourcing strategy, with strong emphasis on:

Road transport (linehaul, local distribution, airport transfers)

Air freight and courier services

Time-critical and airport-constrained logistics solutions

Warehouse specialized in frozen, chilled, and ambient products

Analyze transport spend, lanes, and cost drivers to identify savings and optimization opportunities.

Prepare and run sourcing events (RFI, RFP, negotiations, eAuctions where applicable).

Manage regional supplier relationships (OEMs, dealers, leasing companies, service providers).

Partner closely with airport operations, engineering, safety, and finance teams.

Ensure compliance with local regulations, airport standards, and safety requirements.

Act as the commercial interface between internal stakeholders and external partners.

Requirements:
University degree (Bachelor’s or Master’s) or equivalent professional experience.

2-4+ years of experience in:
Sourcing or category management experience

Logistics sourcing, fleet sourcing, or heavy equipment categories

Experience with RFQs/RFPs, negotiations, and contract management

Experience managing or sourcing vehicle fleets or logistics assets

Exposure to road transport and time-critical logistics; air freight experience is a plus.

Experience in aviation, food logistics, FMCG, or similar operationally intensive environments is highly desirable.

Strong analytical and stakeholder communication skills.

Comfortable working in international, matrix-driven organizations.

Fluent in English and Spanish wanted; German or another European language is an advantage.

Execution-oriented with a strong operational mindset.

Structured, pragmatic, and resilient in fast-paced environments.

Curious and motivated to deepen transportation and logistics expertise in an aviation context.

Join a truly global team.

We offer a dynamic and international environment where high performance meets real purpose. We're proud to be Great Place to Work-certified and even prouder of the people who make that possible. Let’s shape the future of procurement - together.
