About the role
A transport sourcing specialist develops the commercial approach for carrier capacity across routes, sites and service types. The interview will probe your use of demand and market evidence, the way you normalise complex bids, your negotiation preparation and how you protect continuity while changing suppliers.
How to prepare
- Review how route profile, equipment type, waiting time, seasonality and return loads affect a transport sourcing model.
- Prepare a category strategy example and explain the evidence behind your chosen supplier structure.
- Practise normalising bids that use different charging units, assumptions and adjustment clauses.
- Think through a transition plan that protects service when work moves between carriers.
- Be ready to describe the trade-offs you made during a difficult commercial negotiation.
Common mistakes
- Presenting a generic sourcing process without showing how route economics shaped the strategy.
- Assuming a multi-carrier award is resilient without testing actual capacity and geographic overlap.
- Accepting an unclear rate adjustment clause that cannot be checked against objective evidence.
