Responsibilities

• Build and manage an annual savings pipeline against addressable spend, deliver committed targets, and report your progress.
• Keep a steady rhythm of RFx events tied to your savings pipeline and contract renewal calendar.
• Find value beyond price, including specification alignment, demand management, payment terms, logistics, and working capital.
• Own or co-own engagement plans for key suppliers with the Category Manager, and lead their execution.
• Run regular business reviews on performance, cost, risk, quality, and improvement opportunities, and document the results in call reports.
• Hold suppliers accountable to quality, delivery, and service expectations, and drive corrective action when needed.
• Keep approved supplier lists accurate in ERP and plant records.
• Assess and document supply risk across your portfolio, including single-source and sole-source exposure.

• Raise emerging supply, pricing, or capacity risks early, with a clear mitigation plan.
• Negotiate and execute agreements that meet company standards, including removing evergreen and auto-renewal terms.

• Ensure compliance with procurement policy, approval thresholds, and internal controls.
• Manage day-to-day buying: purchase orders, price and lead-time maintenance, and resolving invoice or delivery issues.
• Work with LOB stakeholders, manufacturing, R&D, and finance to align sourcing decisions with business priorities and confirm financial impact.
• Support new product introductions and specification changes by sourcing new materials and managing supplier transitions.
• Partner with facility management, operations, and site leadership to find savings, reduce operational and supply risk, and keep procurement aligned with budgets and compliance requirements.
