What You’ll Do
You’ll take ownership of a defined group of commodities, creating strategies aligned with business objectives and driving cost reduction initiatives. You’ll manage supplier performance, negotiate commercial agreements, and identify opportunities for value improvement and risk mitigation.

Strong commercial acumen, excellent communication and negotiation skills, and the ability to influence outcomes are essential.

Bonus if you have:
Experience developing commodity strategies and risk management plans
Strong supplier relationship management skills
Ability to work cross-functionally to achieve business goals
What We Offer
Because we know that to deliver on our vision, people have to feel supported and inspired:
Impact: Be part of something that’s changing cities, improving air quality, helping public transport evolve.
Development & Growth: Training programmes, mentorship, opportunities to take on new roles, broaden skills.
Culture & Belonging: An inclusive environment; your voice matters; we treat people fairly.
Perks & Benefits: Competitive salary, pension, wellbeing support, cycle to work scheme, enhanced maternity and paternity benefits.
Our Values – What Guides Us

Quality: We strive for excellence in our products, services, and all that we do.
