Talent Leadership: Coaching and developing a global team, ensuring cultural awareness, and fostering an environment of psychological safety to achieve ambitious divisional goals.

Who you are

We look for an authentic, courageous, and transformational leader who is a true "systems thinker"-someone who can navigate complexity, manage competing priorities, and craft integrated solutions that drive efficiency.

Education: A University degree is required, with a focus on business or life sciences highly preferable. A Master's degree (MBA or equivalent) and professional purchasing certifications (e.g., CIPS) are preferred.

Experience: 7+ years of experience in Procurement, with at least 3-5 years specifically in a process improvement and systems deployment environment, plus 3-5 years in Business Process Management.
