The CKS Group is the union of complementary skills.
Strongly rooted in their respective markets, the companies and entities of the CKS Group have as a
common denominator the Purchasing expertise of their teams.
They share a common set of values and professional standards.
The strategy of CKS is based on several strong pillars
Talent recruitment is a strategic issue for CKS.
Manage a team of ambitious consultants, passionate about their work and directly interested in the success of the firm is in itself a business project and one of the main motivations of CKS's founders. Confronted with a wide variety of missions, all anchored on the Procurement function, our collaborators develop a strong "business" expertise. This expertise is very quickly recognized by our contacts at our Clients.
Why join CKS?
Because you're eager to learn:
The definition of new organisational models, the design of purchasing strategies supported
by TCO or even TVO analyses, the implementation of the latest "data science" technologies,
the integration of the best S2P software suites,… are some of the expertise fields covered
by the CKS teams.
Because you like challenges:
Maintaining a level of excellence in our services, working under pressure in often difficult
deadlines, building a relationship of trust with the client…
Because you want to work with professionals who combine
competence and humility
Within the CKS teams, with excellent employees, who have a wide range of training and
professional experience. Among customers, with contacts occupying various positions (General
Management, Purchasing, Finance, Controlling, IS, Quality,…), at all hierarchical levels.

Diplômé de l’EM Lyon, j’ai rejoint CKS après une première expérience professionnelle dans un cabinet de conseil en stratégie. Le dynamisme et la qualité des équipes ont été des signaux forts qui ont motivé ma candidature.
Travailler pour un cabinet spécialisé, c’est la satisfaction de devenir rapidement expert d’un domaine fonctionnel, que l’on aborde au travers d’une très grande diversité de missions. C’est incidemment la d’avoir un impact tangible sur la performance de ses Clients. Travailler pour un cabinet spécialisé, c’est également le plaisir de travailler sur des sujets « neufs » et d’être en première ligne sur les grands enjeux de transformation de la fonction Achats.
Il y a deux ans, j’ai pris la Direction de notre « Lab » interne (Neqo) et anime des équipes aux compétences rares. Nous mettons en œuvre des solutions extrêmement innovantes et avons la chance de travailler avec des interlocuteurs particulièrement exigeants chez nos Clients.
Je dirige également l’équipe en charge de notre offre d’intégration de suites S2P (Lysint) ... Ce ne sont donc pas les projets et perspectives de développement personnel qui manquent au sein du groupe CKS.
Bonjour, je m’appelle Bénédicte
Après avoir obtenu un Master 2 Professionnel en Droit Public des Affaires, j’ai commencé ma carrière en tant que juriste en droit des marchés publics. J’ai ensuite occupé un poste de Responsable d’un services marchés Publics. Aujourd’hui, je suis manager chez CKS Public.
Cela fait 13 ans que j’exerce dans ce domaine qui me passionne, la commande publique, et j’ai la chance de le faire au sein d’un cabinet qui offre la possibilité à ses consultants de travailler sur des missions de conseil, d’assistance à maitrise d’ouvrage et de formation à forte valeur ajoutée pour de nombreux et variés donneurs d’ordres publics.
CKS Public est un cabinet dans lequel il existe de véritables possibilités d’évolution de carrière. J’ai par exemple été recrutée comme consultante senior puis promue manager un an après.
Alors si comme moi vous aimez les achats publics, les défis intellectuels et le travail en équipe, n’hésitez pas à déposer votre candidature !
Quand j’ai passé les entretiens de recrutement chez CKS à l’automne 2014, je n’imaginais pas l’univers des possibles auquel j’allais m’exposer au long de mon parcours. Les précédentes expériences que j’avais eues dans le cadre de mon double-cursus HEC Paris / Sciences Po m’avaient insuffisamment permis de développer la rigueur d’analyse, l’endurance de travail et le plaisir du travail à l’international ; ce fut rétabli très rapidement avec CKS.
Les consultants sont précisément sélectionnés parce que le processus de recrutement consiste à identifier des potentiels à développer plutôt que des professionnels aguerris.
Les premières années de mon parcours m’ont permis d’explorer une grande diversité de missions au sein du bureau parisien de CKS avant de partir fin 2016 créer celui de Bruxelles.
Depuis 2017, j’ai pu constituer mon équipe de consultants dédiés aux activités internationales de CKS (zone Benelux, enchères, intégration Ivalua) et continuer d’entretenir des liens étroits avec mon portefeuille de clients historiques dans le secteur de l’industrie automobile.
Si je regarde six ans en arrière, l’équipe de CKS m’a fait confiance et m’a accompagné dans le développement d’offres et d’outils à haute valeur ajoutée pour nos clients comme en interne. Autre élément de satisfaction interne : la capacité de voyager pour aller au plus près des sites des clients : Europe, Chine, Japon, États-Unis, Mexique, Brésil…
Bonjour, je m’appelle Aurore.
Je suis Manager chez CKS.
J’ai une formation dans un tout autre domaine que les achats puisque j’ai fait des études d’agronomie à AgroParisTech avec une spécialité sur les filières d’élevage.
Dans ma première expérience professionnelle, j’ai travaillé sur les impacts environnementaux de l’élevage dans une ONG. J’accompagnais en particulier les entreprises des filières viandes et lait sur l’intégration d’objectifs liés au développement durable dans leurs produits et vis-à-vis de leurs fournisseurs. J’ai découvert la fonction Achats et son importance stratégique tant pour les entreprises que pour les administrations, et ai donc choisi de rejoindre le cabinet CKS.
En quelques années, j’ai énormément appris sur le monde des achats et de la logistique. Arrivée consultante junior, je suis passée manager au sein du cabinet il y a 2 ans.
Les principales qualités pour nous rejoindre ?
La curiosité intellectuelle et l’esprit d’équipe.
Nous ne recherchons pas forcément des experts en Achats mais des profils avec une grande faculté d’adaptation, qui sauront comprendre les problématiques de nos clients et adapter les recommandations à chaque contexte.
Hi, my name is Aurore.
I'm a manager at CKS. I have a training in a completely different field than procurement since I studied agronomy at AgroParisTech with a specialty on breeding channels.
In my first professional experience, I worked on the environmental impacts of livestock farming in an NGO. In particular, I helped companies in the meat and milk sectors to integrate sustainable development objectives into their products and in relation to their suppliers. I discovered the Procurement function and its strategic importance for both companies and administrations, and I therefore chose to join CKS.
At CKS, I have two main missions:
Over the past few years, I have learned a lot about the world of purchasing and logistics. I joined the firm as a junior consultant and became a manager two years ago.
The main qualities to join us? Intellectual curiosity and team spirit. We are not necessarily looking for experts in Procurement but for profiles with a great ability to adapt, who will be able to understand the problems of our clients and adapt the recommendations to each context.

Working for a specialized firm means the satisfaction of quickly becoming an expert in a functional area, which is approached through a wide variety of assignments. Incidentally, it is the satisfaction of having a tangible impact on the performance of its Clients.

When I interviewed for a job at CKS in the autumn of 2014, I had no idea how many possibilities I would be exposed to along the way. The previous experiences I had had during my double degree course at HEC Paris / Sciences Po had not sufficiently allowed me to develop the rigor of analysis, work endurance and the pleasure of working internationally; this was quickly restored with CKS. Consultants are selected precisely because the recruitment process consists of identifying potential to be developed rather than seasoned professionals.
The first years of my career allowed me to explore a wide variety of assignments within the Paris office of CKS before leaving at the end of 2016 to create the Brussels office. Since 2017, I have been able to build up my team of consultants dedicated to CKS' international activities (Benelux zone, auctions, Ivalua integration) and continue to maintain close ties with my portfolio of historical clients in the automotive industry.
If I look back six years ago, the CKS team trusted me and accompanied me in the development of offers and tools with high added value for our customers as well as internally. Another element of internal satisfaction: the ability to travel to get as close as possible to the customer's sites: Europe, China, Japan, United States, Mexico, Brazil...

Las experiencias anteriores que había tenido durante mi doble titulación en HEC París / Sciences Po no me habían permitido desarrollar suficientemente la rigurosidad en el análisis, la resistencia al trabajo y el placer de trabajar internacionalmente; esto se restableció rápidamente en CKS.

Los primeros años de mi carrera me permitieron explorar una amplia variedad de misiones en la oficina de París de CKS antes de irme a finales de 2016 para crear la oficina de Bruselas.

Si miro hacia atrás, hace seis años el equipo de CKS confió en mí y me acompañó en el desarrollo de ofertas y herramientas de alto valor añadido para nuestros clientes, así como internamente.
