THE CONTEXT: BEYOND TRADITIONAL PROCUREMENT
At Decathlon, we are transforming our Packaging & Paper supply chain (7,000+ components globally) to support our 2026-2028 strategic vision. We firmly believe that with the rise of AI, young tech talents can now tackle complex, global business challenges with unprecedented autonomy. We are looking for a tech-savvy builder-someone passionate about Software Architecture and Artificial Intelligence-to help us invent the "Augmented Buyer and planner." Working closely with our Strategic Buyers, component planners and digital team, you will put "Tech & IA at the service of packaging procurement."

YOUR PLAYING FIELD & RESPONSIBILITIES
You will not be doing data entry. You will be building the architecture and the tools that pilot millions of euros in spend and drive our sustainability goals (Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation compliance, CO2 tracking).

Your core missions:

• Build the "Pack-A.I." Proof of Concept: Design, test, and deploy AI-driven tools (using LLMs/GenAI through the complete Google environment - Gemini for Workspace, NotebookLM) to help buyers instantly analyze supplier price increases against global market indices (energy, raw materials, freight).
• Architect the Data Flow: Help map and connect our internal databases (Price list, orders, Supplier Database...) via APIs to automate our "Total Cost of Ownership - Industrial Costing" models.
• Master the 20/80 Strategy: Create automated, intelligent data pipelines to track our 20/80 components-giving buyers & planners real-time alerts on orders issues, pricing anomalies, and compliance.
• Tech for Sustainability: Develop solutions to track reverse logistics data and the integration of recycled materials to ensure we hit our 2030 circularity targets.
