Labour Procurement Manager

Location: Prague, Czech Republic; Group career pages; Jobs.cz Workplace: Hybrid Labour is one of the largest cost areas across Rohlik Group, and external workforce services are critical to the daily performance of our fulfilment centres and warehouses. As we continue to scale across Europe, we are establishing a dedicated Labour Procurement role within Group Procurement to bring stronger commercial ownership, transparency and consistency to this strategically important category. We are looking for a Labour Procurement Manager who will own the sourcing and commercial strategy for external workforce services across the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Hungary and Romania. You will report to the Head of Group Procurement. This is a build role, not an inherit role. You will shape the category strategy together with the Head of Group Procurement and then own its execution: running tenders and negotiations, establishing the commercial governance and introducing scalable, data-driven and AI-supported procurement processes. Your work will have a direct impact on operational continuity, cost efficiency and the performance of our fulfilment centres. WHY THIS ROLE IS EXCITING - You will take ownership of one of Rohlik Group’s largest and most business-critical spend categories. - You will build a new Group procurement function and shape how external workforce services are sourced and managed across five markets. - Your work will have a direct impact on operational continuity, cost efficiency and the performance of our fulfilment centres. - You will lead high-value tenders and negotiate directly with senior executives of staffing and workforce providers. - You will work at the intersection of Finance, Operations and HR, with significant visibility across Group and local leadership. - Rohlik is an AI-first company, giving you the opportunity to introduce automation, analytics and AI-supported tools across sourcing, contracting and supplier management. WHAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU - Own and execute the Group’s procurement strategy for external workforce services supporting our fulfilment centres and warehouses across all markets. - Run tenders and lead negotiations at executive level; contract through the Group’s standard procurement and contract management tooling. - Own the commercial architecture and cost governance of the category: benchmark provider pricing across markets and sites, drive cost transparency, and deliver measurable savings against a spend baseline you establish. - Establish supplier performance management: service levels, quality, and delivery against contract, with regular scorecard reviews with providers and internal stakeholders. - Embed AI, digital procurement tools, and analytics to create full visibility of category spend and automate sourcing and contract lifecycle processes. - Monitor provider market trends, labour regulation, and pricing across CEE and DACH to future-proof the Group’s operations. WHAT WE LOOK FOR - 5+ years in procurement, category management or a commercial role, ideally with exposure to agency labour, temporary staffing or outsourced services. - Proven track record running large tenders and negotiating labour or service contracts at executive level. - Strong commercial and analytical skills: you think in unit cost, service levels and total cost, not just contract value. - Ownership and autonomy: you set your own priorities, move work forward without close supervision and know when to escalate. - Strong command of AI and digital tools in procurement, including automation, analytics and contract management systems. - Excellent stakeholder management: you will operate between Operations, HR, Finance, and provider executives, often with conflicting interests. - English is required (C1+); Czech or Slovak is an advantage. - Nice to have: Working knowledge of temporary agency work legislation and labour cost mechanics; comfort operating across CEE and DACH regulatory environments. WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU - Fair reward - You’ll get a strong fixed salary — no bonus games, no politics. Great work is rewarded clearly and fairly. - Good food every day - You’ll enjoy a free lunch every day and fresh fruit & veggies in the office. Because good food fuels great work. - Life, not just work - You’ll have real flexibility – three days in the office, 2 days Home Office where it suits you. And unlimited paid vacation based on trust. - Personal growth - You’ll grow as fast as Rohlik does. Every challenge is a chance to learn and make an impact. - Real impact - What you do here matters. You’ll see your work changing how people eat and live — from day one. - Recognition among colleagues - Your effort won’t go unnoticed. You can recognise others (and be recognised) through peer credits to use in our internal cafeteria. - Xtra membership - You’ll get free Xtra membership and 10% cashback on everything you buy on Rohlik.cz http://Rohlik.cz. - Sport & wellbeing - You’ll stay active with company sports challenges or a subsidised Multisport card. - A team that sticks together - You’ll work with people who move fast, support each other and celebrate wins together. - If this sounds like you…You’re someone who takes ownership, acts fast and gets things done.
