#Ownership

About AB InBev We are AB InBev, the world's leading brewer. Our diverse portfolio of well over 500 beer brands includes global icons such as Stella Artois, Budweiser, and Corona. Our Procurement function plays a critical role in driving innovation, value, and sustainability throughout our business.

About the Role - We are looking for Senior Category Buyers to join our Western Europe Procurement team. You'll play a key role in developing sourcing strategies, leading negotiations, and managing supplier relationships in categories such as:

· Capex & MRO

· Marketing Services

· Transport & Logistics

· Packaging

· Technology and more

You'll work in a team of 3 to 7 people, depending on the category, and collaborate cross-functionally with teams in Finance, Planning, Supply, and Legal.

Key Responsibilities

· Develop and implement category strategies aligned with global procurement goals

· Drive total cost of ownership savings, supplier innovation, and risk mitigation

· Lead sourcing projects, RFPs, and contract negotiations

· Monitor supplier performance and ensure compliance with CSR and quality standards

· Provide data analysis and reporting to support procurement decision-making

Who You Are

· You may come from procurement, sales, finance, marketing, or consulting — what matters is your ability to think strategically, analyze data, and influence decisions

· Skilled in negotiation, analytical thinking, and stakeholder management

· Structured, proactive, and self-motivated – you like to take ownership

Coming from another field? You don't need prior procurement experience — but you should bring relevant business experience from areas like sales, finance, marketing, or consulting. If you've worked with contracts, clients, suppliers, or performance metrics, and want to step into a strategic role, we'll provide the onboarding and support you need.

Why AB InBev

· Competitive compensation with significant performance bonus

· Full beer allowance – enjoy our brands on us

· A chance to work in a fast-paced, global team with visible impact

· Based fully in our Prague office – no hybrid model, just focused on collaboration

· Career path towards local, European or global roles in procurement

Come and Own It Join us to lead, influence, and grow. At AB InBev, procurement is not a support function – it's a strategic engine. Make your mark where it counts.
