Key Responsibilities

1. Category Management & Strategic Sourcing

Lead end-to-end category management and strategic procurement for capital equipment (Greenfield & Rebuild projects), MRO, and spare parts categories.

Own the complete equipment build cycle: source individual parts, sub-assemblies, and heavy components from a global and domestic supplier base, coordinate inbound logistics, and support in-house assembly and trial runs.

Prepare component-level budgets for new products, conduct comprehensive market and industry research to inform category strategies, and collaborate with business area stakeholders for project estimation and cost modelling.

Establish and maintain framework agreements, Service Level Agreements (SLAs), price benchmarking tools, and should-cost models for diverse equipment and spare parts.

Identify, evaluate, and onboard strategic suppliers; assess and enhance existing supplier capacities across Quality, Delivery, and Cost (QDC) parameters.

Drive cost-saving initiatives through competitive tendering, strategic bundling, group purchasing volumes, and alternative supplier development (e.g., building robust local/national models to mitigate foreign supply chain dependencies).

Perform sub-assembly level risk assessments before ordering, develop secondary/alternative sources to de-risks supply chains, and maintain production continuity.

Act as the primary commercial point of contact for key partners, managing supplier performance evaluations and sharing insights transparently across internal engineering, production, and quality teams.

3. Cross-functional Collaboration & Quality Compliance

Partner closely with design, production, and quality assurance teams during assembly and trial phases to resolve part deviations, manage supplier claims, and ensure strict technical conformity.

Ensure full compliance with corporate sourcing policies, internal approval workflows, ISO standards, and corporate procurement audits.

Drive internal restructuring initiatives to optimize procurement performance, fostering clear accountability across specialized purchase, sourcing, and supply chain verticals.

Leverage advanced procurement tools—specifically SAP HANA (MM & SH modules) and JAGGAER (RFX, Auctions, SRM, Supplier Evaluation, and Spend Analytics)—to drive process transparency and data integrity.

Manage vendor onboarding onto digital platforms, facilitating EDI-based data exchange, order confirmation, and digital offer submissions.

Train cross-functional teams (Purchase, Quality, and Shipping) and external suppliers on digital procurement modules to enhance department-wide response efficiency and reporting accuracy.
