Job Description

The EMEA Fleet Sourcing Manager is a senior strategic sourcing leader responsible for defining and executing the regional fleet sourcing strategy across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. This role owns the end-to-end sourcing agenda for fleet-related spend, ensuring the business achieves optimal cost, service, compliance, and sustainability outcomes while aligning with enterprise policy, regional labor requirements, and local market dynamics.

This is a highly strategic role requiring strong leadership, cross-functional influence, and the ability to lead change across a complex and diverse region. The incumbent will partner closely with HR, Legal, Tax, Finance, Sustainability, Operations, Risk, and Business leadership to shape fleet policy, sourcing governance, supplier strategy, and operating models that support both global standards and local regulatory obligations.

The role requires deep knowledge of EMEA markets, including practical understanding of differences across Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, especially where labor law, employment tax, car policy, supplier availability, and fleet market maturity differ significantly. The manager will act as a regional thought partner and subject matter expert, ensuring sourcing decisions are compliant, scalable, and aligned to business strategy.

This position is significantly more senior than a sourcing specialist role and is expected to lead strategy, influence stakeholders at all levels, manage complexity, and drive organizational change.

• Build strong supplier relationships while maintaining rigorous performance management, commercial accountability, and service-level discipline.
• Monitor market trends, supplier financial health, regulatory changes, and evolving fleet models across EMEA.

Compliance, Risk, and Labor Law Governance

• Ensure fleet policies and sourcing strategies comply with applicable labor laws, employment regulations, tax rules, benefits requirements, and mobility standards across multiple EMEA countries.
• Partner with Legal, HR, Tax, and Compliance to assess risk and implement controls for country-specific fleet arrangements.
• Identify and mitigate sourcing, contractual, operational, and regulatory risks related to fleet programs in diverse jurisdictions.
• Support the design of compliant operating models for countries with varying legal and labor frameworks, including emerging and highly regulated markets.

Change Management and Transformation

• Lead change management initiatives tied to fleet policy redesign, supplier transitions, operating model changes, and regional standardization efforts.
• Influence stakeholder adoption of new sourcing approaches, policies, and governance processes.
• Drive transformation initiatives that improve efficiency, simplify execution, and enhance the user experience while maintaining compliance.
• Serve as a champion for continuous improvement and sustainable change across the region.

Leadership and Stakeholder Influence

• Lead cross-functional regional workstreams and influence senior stakeholders without direct line authority.
• Act as a strategic advisor to business leaders on fleet strategy, policy, and market implications.
• Build consensus across diverse stakeholders with competing priorities, ensuring balanced and informed decisions.
• Provide leadership, coaching, and direction to sourcing project teams and regional contributors as needed.

Regional Expertise: Europe, Middle East, and Africa

• Apply strong market knowledge of Africa, the Middle East, and Europe to tailor sourcing strategies to local business, legal, and supplier realities.
• Understand regional differences in vehicle availability, lease markets, duty structures, mobility norms, workforce expectations, and regulatory complexity.
• Support country-level adaptations while preserving enterprise consistency and policy discipline.
• Use regional insight to anticipate challenges and create scalable, locally compliant solutions.

Analytics, Reporting, and Performance Management

• Lead development of regional analytics, dashboards, and executive reporting related to fleet spend, utilization, savings, compliance, supplier performance, and risk.
• Use data-driven insights to identify savings opportunities, policy gaps, demand shifts, and service improvement areas.
• Establish KPIs and business reviews to monitor supplier and program performance.
• Translate complex data into executive-ready recommendations and decisions.

Sustainability and Future Mobility

• Partner with Sustainability and business stakeholders to support fleet decarbonization and electrification strategies.
• Align fleet sourcing decisions with emissions reduction targets, infrastructure readiness, and regional feasibility.
• Balance sustainability objectives with cost, compliance, operational practicality, and employee experience.

3. Qualifications / Requirements
