About the Position
Procurement Manager (m/f/d) – Central Fleet Operations
- Location: Pullach, Germany
- Type: Full-time
- Department: Purchasing & Procurement
- Legal Entity: Sixt SE
About the Role
At SIXT, fleet operations run on external suppliers - from repair networks and logistics carriers to spare part partners and detection technology. The quality, cost, and reliability of these suppliers directly determine fleet uptime, turnaround speed, and unit economics at scale. In the role of Procurement Manager (m/f/d) – Central Fleet Operations, you own operational procurement for Central Fleet Ops: the contracts, the supplier relationships, the commercial frameworks, and the performance standards that keep the fleet moving. Not purchasing orders - strategic sourcing and supplier management that shapes how fleet services are delivered across markets. Apply now, join Team Orange in Pullach near Munich and make your mark on fleet procurement at SIXT.
Responsibilities
- Operational Procurement: Full accountability for sourcing, contracting, and managing the supplier base that supports repair, logistics, reconditioning, and damage detection across all corporate countries. You build the commercial frameworks that turn external spend into reliable operational capacity.
- Supplier Performance Management: Define KPIs, build review cadences, and hold suppliers accountable on quality, turnaround, and cost. You run the governance that ensures the highest performance levels.
- Alignment with Operations and Country Teams: Work hand in hand with repair, logistics, and damage detection leads to ensure procurement decisions are grounded in operational needs. Translate what the business needs into what the market can deliver - and push back when the two don't match.
- Continuous Benchmarking: Monitor market developments, identify alternative suppliers, and bring new options to the table before the business asks. Treat every renewal as an opportunity to improve terms, not just extend.
- Contract Compliance and Financial Control: Own the commercial terms that govern fleet spend - pricing models, SLAs, penalty clauses, volume commitments. Ensure contracts are enforceable, transparent, and aligned with the company's financial targets.
Requirements
- Experience: Several years of experience in operational procurement or strategic sourcing in a service-heavy environment and a track record in fleet, logistics, mobility, automotive, or similar. Experience in sourcing and managing suppliers that deliver complex physical services or goods.
- Negotiation: Commercially and operationally negotiate; structure deals that balance cost, quality, and reliability. Understand total cost of ownership and can hold your own in a room with supplier leadership.
- Organizational Skills: Bring structure to complex, multi-country supplier landscapes, manage supplier portfolios across geographies, build category strategies, and run performance management frameworks.
- Soft Skills: Operate between strategy and execution, present a sourcing strategy to senior leadership, and review contract clauses with legal. Don't lose sight of operational impact when optimizing commercial terms.
- Languages: Fluent in English and German.
We Offer
- Extra Benefits: Enjoy discounts on SIXT rent, share, ride, and SIXT+, attractive vehicle leasing offers, and exclusive deals with partners for travel, tech, fashion, and more.
- AI at Your Fingertips: Access to AI tools like Anthropic's Claude and SIXT's own AI platform, SIXTgpt, to supercharge your work.
- Mobility Boost: A monthly allowance as a contribution to your individual mobility.
- Future Security: Contributions to your retirement plan and support with capital-forming benefits.
