Descrição da oferta de emprego

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

1. PROCUREMENT PLANNING & MATERIAL AVAILABILITY

• Translate the production plan and demand forecast into a time-phased material procurement plan, ensuring on-time availability against build schedules.

• Manage lead times, minimum order quantities (MOQs), reorder points, and safety-stock targets in coordination with Production/Inventory Control, without overstepping internal inventory ownership.

• Balance material availability against working-capital and inventory-holding constraints; avoid both line stoppages and excess/obsolete stock.
• Maintain accurate procurement data (lead times, MOQs, pricing, supplier terms) in the ERP/planning system as the basis for planning decisions.

2. STRATEGIC SOURCING & PROCUREMENT

• Own strategic sourcing across the supply base: identify, evaluate, and onboard suppliers; run RFQs; and make award decisions on total-cost-of-ownership, not unit price alone.
• Develop and maintain multi-source strategies for critical items to reduce single-source exposure and lead-time risk.

• Negotiate pricing, payment terms, delivery terms, and supply agreements; drive year-on-year cost-down and commercial improvement programs.

• Structure and manage supplier contracts, MSAs, price validity, and rate contracts to protect continuity and cost stability.

• Coordinate laterally with the Procurement & Supplier Development function on tactical and domestic sourcing execution.

3. SUPPLIER MANAGEMENT & PERFORMANCE

• Own the supplier relationship at a commercial and performance level: set expectations, review performance, and drive improvement.

• Define and track supplier KPIs (on-time delivery, quality (PPM), responsiveness, and NCR/corrective-action closure) and run periodic supplier reviews.
• Manage supplier capacity planning and readiness to support production ramp and scale.
• Escalate and manage under-performing suppliers, including containment, improvement plans, and re-sourcing where warranted.

4. SUPPLIER QUALITY RESOLUTION & CORRECTIVE ACTION

• Act as the commercial and coordination owner for supplier-related quality issues: when Quality flags a supplier non-conformance, drive resolution with the supplier to closure.
• Raise and manage Supplier Corrective Action Requests (SCAR); drive 8D/CAPA problem-solving with suppliers and track containment, correction, and preventive action to completion.
• Coordinate containment, replacement, rework, or return logistics and manage the commercial recovery (debit notes, cost recovery) where applicable.

• Interface with Quality throughout. Quality retains technical root-cause validation and disposition/acceptance. This role owns the supplier-facing execution and commercial closure.

5. LOGISTICS & MATERIAL FLOW

• Manage inbound logistics (domestic and import), outbound dispatch of finished goods, and associated freight, forwarder, and 3PL relationships.

• Own import logistics: Incoterms selection, customs clearance coordination, documentation, HSN/duty classification support, and freight cost/lead-time optimization.

• Optimize logistics cost, transit time, and reliability; manage packaging, dispatch, and delivery performance to internal and customer requirements.
• Ensure traceability of inbound and outbound material movements through the ERP system.

6. SUPPLY RISK, CHANGE CONTROL & COMPLIANCE

• Identify and mitigate supply risks (single-source exposure, allocation/lead-time volatility, geopolitical and logistics disruption) and maintain contingency and buAer strategies.

• Maintain Approved Vendor List (AVL) discipline: no supplier or source substitution on controlled items without Engineering and Quality sign-oA, ensuring changes flow through formal engineering-change management.
• Ensure procurement and supplier processes are documented, traceable, and audit-ready to support product certification and regulatory compliance.
• Support statutory, tax, and trade-compliance requirements associated with domestic and imported procurement.

7. CROSS-FUNCTIONAL COLLABORATION & SYSTEMS

• Work closely with Engineering (for new-part introduction, BOM changes, and sourcing feasibility), Production/Inventory (for planning and availability), and Quality (for supplier issues).
• Drive procurement and supply-chain workflows through the ERP/PLM system, improve data accuracy, process discipline, and reporting.
• Participate in new-product introduction (NPI) to ensure sourcing, supplier readiness, and lead time feasibility are addressed early.

PERFORMANCE METRICS (KPIs)

• Material availability / schedule adherence (line-down incidents, stock-out rate).
• Procurement cost performance (cost-down achieved, PPV).
• Supplier on-time delivery and quality (PPM).
• Supplier corrective-action closure time (SCAR/8D closure rate).
• Inventory/working-capital eAiciency for procured material (in coordination with Inventory Control).
• Logistics cost and inbound/outbound lead-time performance.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience in EV, automotive, power electronics, electronics, or other regulated/certified hardware manufacturing.
• Exposure to product certification and change-control-driven supply environments.
