Process Consultant

Position Overview

We are seeking a forward-thinking and collaborative Procurement Process and Digitalization Project Manager to serve as an International brand representative on the TRATON Procurement Platform (TPP) team. This newly created role sits at the center of one of TRATON’s most strategic procurement initiatives – building and scaling a unified, data-driven procurement ecosystem across all TRATON brands.

In this role, you will own the representation of International’s procurement priorities within the global TPP program – shaping how future‑state procurement processes, analytics and digital capabilities are designed, implemented, and adopted. You will act as a critical bridge between internal functional stakeholders and the TPP program ensuring that real‑world procurement needs translate to scalable, globally aligned solutions.

A core focus of this position is early‑stage sourcing enablement and category management transformation, with particular emphasis on the pre‑RFQ phase—how sourcing demand is identified, structured, prioritized, and prepared before formal RFQ execution—as well as the development of actionable, analytics‑driven category planning capabilities. Your work will directly influence how procurement teams plan, prioritize, and execute sourcing strategies in a more proactive, data‑informed, and globally consistent way.

This is an opportunity for a motivated professional who wants to shape the future of procurement at scale, work across brands and cultures, and drive tangible change at the intersection of process, data, and technology.

• Represent the International brand on the global TRATON Procurement Platform team
• Drive the design and implementation of a common procurement ecosystem, with specific focus on Category Management and Analytics and Sourcing Planning and pre‑RFQ enablement
• Lead the identification, mapping and documentation of current‑state category management and sourcing planning processes, proactively identifying opportunities for digitization, standardization, and analytics driven decision making.
• Collaborate with global and local stakeholders to translate business requirements into TPP design inputs for Category Management and Sourcing and Activity Planning work packages
• Contribute to project planning, reporting, and communications
• Drive change management and adoption readiness of new processes
• Develop training materials to support user onboarding and capability building
