A day in the life
As you enter one of our Retail offices and grab a first cup of coffee or tea with your colleagues, you begin to look forward to your day. Approximately 40% of your time will be spent working with our most important vendors by aligning with internal partners in vendor management before reaching out to the vendors themselves to discuss improvement opportunities. Another 40% of your time will be dedicated to advancing projects you own or contribute to, creating lasting impact across large cohorts of our vendors. Finally, around 20% of your time will be devoted to personal development and growth.
About the team
We are a centralized function within the EU Other Hardlines Product Family. As a team, our culture is focused around three main areas: work-life balance and well-being, producing scalable improvements, and creating experts who feel true ownership for their areas of responsibility. Our Strategic Supply Chain Managers, spread across our EU retail locations, own the full vendor-facing supply chain.
