Besides moving your body, you look very much forward to catching up with your colleagues.

You get plenty of good input from more senior and more junior colleagues on the topic.Thereafter you have a meeting with an engineering supplier that wants to discuss with you a revision of the commercial conditions of an existing frame agreement. In preparation for the meeting, you get an overview of the different frame agreement rates in the consultancy category files.

You agree with the supplier that they will need to investigate their forecast and come back to you with a detailed breakdown of the different rates and a suggestion for the adjustments to these.You end your day with joining one of the more experienced category managers to one of their supplier meetings to learn how they drive the continuous dialogue on strategic collaborations with regards to new technologies and automatization.
