Your Role

Investment Projects are where strategy meets execution, and this role sits right at that intersection. As an Investment Project Sourcing Manager within Technical Sourcing, you will lead end-to-end sourcing execution for complex technical investment projects across three global business sectors, primarily across sites in Spain and Italy with the flexibility to support projects across the broader EMEA region.

You will serve as the critical link between internal stakeholders and the external supply base, translating business needs into sourcing strategies that maximize value through cost savings, risk reduction, and supplier performance. From early project involvement and procurement planning through supplier qualification, negotiation, contract management, and performance follow-up, you will own the full sourcing lifecycle with a focus on continuous improvement and cross-functional collaboration.

Working across a diverse, international environment, you will build and maintain strong supplier relationships, resolve commercial disputes, and contribute to the evolution of category strategies by staying ahead of market trends and supply chain dynamics. If you bring a structured mindset, strong negotiation skills, and the drive to deliver results in a fast-moving global organization, this role offers real impact across the business.

• Minimum 5 years of experience in procurement or engineering roles within multinational companies, with a preference for investment project sourcing in the chemical, pharmaceutical, or life science industry.
• Demonstrated ability to lead end-to-end sourcing processes including procurement planning, supplier qualification, competitive bidding, negotiation, and contract management for complex technical investment projects.
• Strong project management skills with the ability to work effectively in cross-functional and geographically diverse teams, managing multiple priorities in parallel.
• Experience identifying, managing, and mitigating supply chain risks, with the ability to anticipate market trends and translate them into actionable sourcing strategies.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to engage and align across different seniority levels and functions in a complex global organization.
• Fluency in Spanish, Italian, and English (written and spoken) is required.
• Willingness and ability to travel up to 30%, primarily within EMEA.
