About the Role
Join a multicultural team across Europe as a Procurement Category Manager focusing on Construction, Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment (FF&E), and Maintenance. Your primary responsibility will be to identify hotel needs and provide solutions in technical-oriented categories including maintenance, refurbishment, technical product distribution, and FF&E within the Western-European region.

Your responsibilities include managing all local procurement and P&L for your categories, designing supplier offers and promoting them to hotels, supporting management with key information such as KPI tracking and campaign follow-ups, leading tenders using e-Sourcing tools, presenting tender analyses to hotel owners and management, and organizing supplier business reviews while negotiating and maintaining standard terms and prices with preferred suppliers.

Become part of a fast-growing, innovative global procurement organization that supports 7,000 customers in 20 countries, operating within Accor’s ecosystem of over 45 brands and thousands of hotels and restaurants. Experience a supportive environment where you can grow your career locally or globally and contribute to responsible hospitality.

Experience
Minimum 3 years of procurement experience, preferably in CAPEX procurement and/or category management. Affinity for technical topics and previous experience in technical procurement is a plus.

About you
Fluency in French and English is essential; additional European languages are a plus. You have a strategic and analytical mindset with a strong customer focus. Skilled in managing complex tenders and client relationships, you demonstrate strong communication skills and adaptability towards hotel owners and suppliers. You are autonomous, proactive, rigorous, and a team player.

Qualifications
Relevant procurement experience and language skills as outlined. A passion for hospitality and a willingness to grow within a dynamic, multinational environment.
