Company: Alstom

At Alstom, we understand transport networks and what moves people. From high-speed trains, metros, monorails, and trams, to turnkey systems, services, infrastructure, signalling and digital mobility, we offer our diverse customers the broadest portfolio in the industry. Every day, more than 80,000 colleagues lead the way to greener and smarter mobility worldwide, connecting cities as we reduce carbon and replace cars.

Within the Electrical and Propulsion Domain, reporting to the Wheelset & Drive System Commodity Director, the Commodity Manager will be responsible for the wheelset and bearings category (~300M€/year) with a worldwide supplier footprint.

The Commodity team you will lead is interfacing and leading an extended network across Alstom's product management, project teams, and suppliers to secure the supply of core bogie component technologies. You will be accountable for the performance of your category as well as in charge of formalizing and deploying worldwide sourcing strategies.

• Build and drive comprehensive strategies in close coordination with Product Managers and Alstom Regional organizations in charge of tenders and projects
• Optimize commodity procurement performance through transversal cost improvement initiatives, tactical plans, multi-scenario analysis, and benchmarking.
• Develop an in-depth understanding of value-added manufacturing processes and costs, market intelligence, and apply this knowledge to influence and drive procurement decisions.

We value passion and attitude over experience. That’s why we don’t expect you to have every single skill. Instead, we’ve listed some that we think will help you succeed and grow in this role:

• A business school or engineering degree, preferably complemented with a degree in Purchasing
• Minimum of 10 years of working experience in an industrial and international matrixed purchasing organization
• Proven track record in leading sourcing, purchasing, and negotiation
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to synthesize data and make recommendations
