This role is the primary operational procurement interface with the integrated supplier and converts approved inventory and asset-care requirements into reliable, compliant, and cost-effective supply solutions.

·       Manage open orders, acknowledgements, lead times, expedites, past-due lines, backorders, invoice or receipt discrepancies, and urgent breakdown purchases to protect manufacturing continuity.

·       Lead integrated supplier performance reviews using service, delivery, quality, responsiveness, and transactional accuracy measures, and drive corrective actions to closure.

·       Proactively develop sourcing strategies for critical suppliers, original equipment manufacturer parts, repair services, and high-risk categories using spend, demand, lead-time, criticality, quality-risk, and total-cost data.

·       Lead or support competitive bids, quotation analysis, negotiations, commercial evaluations, alternate-source qualification, supplier rationalization, dual sourcing, localization, and source recommendations.

·       Partner with Quality, Procurement, Engineering, and Legal, as applicable, to establish, execute, and renew supplier quality agreements, technical agreements, specifications, and commercial controls for critical suppliers.

·       Partner with the Spare Parts & Asset Inventory Analyst and cross-functional teams to translate inventory strategies, repairable-unit needs, obsolescence risks, and asset priorities into executable purchasing and supplier plans.

 

Qualifications:

Education:

• Minimum of a Bachelor’s or equivalent University Degree or equivalent relevant experience required; Supply Chain, Procurement, Operations, Engineering, Business, Finance, or a related field is preferred.

 

Requirements:

·       A minimum of 3 years of experience in procurement, buying, materials planning, supply chain, supplier management, or a related manufacturing function is required.

·       Demonstrated ability to execute purchase-to-pay processes and manage supplier delivery, pricing, negotiations, order exceptions, and performance issues is required.

·       Demonstrated capability in strategic sourcing, requests for quotation or proposal, commercial analysis, supplier agreements, and total-cost evaluation is required.

·       Strong analytical, negotiation, problem-solving, follow-through, and stakeholder-management skills are required, along with the ability to communicate risk and recommendations clearly to cross-functional partners and leadership.

 

Preferred:.

·       Working knowledge of supplier qualification, quality agreements, change control, nonconformance, corrective action, continuity risk, and alternate-source development is preferred.

·       Knowledge of maintenance, repair, and operating materials, spare parts, original equipment manufacturer components, repair services, or technical services in a regulated or highly automated manufacturing environment is preferred.

·       Proficiency with enterprise resource planning and procurement systems is required; SAP, Maximo, and Ariba knowledge is preferred.
