La position

About Our Team

We at Global Diagnostics Procurement (DOP) are a team of about 200 enthusiastic professionals, committed to driving value with our suppliers worldwide. From locations around the world and with a diverse and multicultural team, we source, manage our supplier base, develop & execute category strategies and constantly develop & digitize processes that enable us to best support our business to grow sustainably. If you aspire to make an impact and want to be part of a high performing and world-class Procurement team, this is for you.

We are DOP. At Roche, we do now what patients need next.

The Opportunity

Are you ready to orchestrate the supply networks that make life-saving diagnostics possible? As our Senior Sourcing Manager in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, you will be a key part of our APAC sourcing operations. You will lead end-to-end sourcing projects, mentor a rising team of Sourcing Managers, and serve as a key advisor to executive leadership. If you thrive on complexity and want to feel a direct impact on the delivery of life-saving diagnostics to patients worldwide, this is where you belong.

• Reporting Line: The position directly reports to the Sourcing Lead APAC and is part of the Procurement Center of Excellence (CoE).
• Wider team and stakeholders: You will be part of a regional team of Senior Sourcing Managers and Sourcing Managers, managing relationships with other DOP stakeholders (Category, Delivery) as well as external suppliers.
• Role Type: An Individual Contributor with responsibilities to mentor junior team members.
• Impact: You drive global sourcing excellence, financial value, and compliance across the APAC footprint. Specifically, you are accountable for:
  • Performance & Savings: Driving key metrics - including PPV savings, preferred supplier share, and shortened cycle times - to deliver bottom-line value while tracking stakeholder satisfaction.
  • Sourcing & Analysis: Executing global sourcing activities, standard processes (RfIs, RfQs, RfPs), and NPI benchmarking in close collaboration with Category and NPI managers.
  • Contract & Document Management: Setting up and reviewing high‑complexity contracts (e.g. MSAs) and purchasing documentation, while accurately managing their lifecycle repository and renewals.
  • Operational Excellence & SME Leadership: Acting as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) to simplify workflows, analyze site user requirements for best‑value methods, and ensure strict compliance with global policies.
  • Bottleneck Resolution & CSR: Partnering with support functions like Accounts Payable (AP) to clear supplier‑related administrative bottlenecks, while championing supply base CSR initiatives (diversity, sustainability, ethical practices).
  • Conflict & Exposure: Managing high‑stakes conflicts regarding competing project priorities or supplier selections, and delivering high‑frequency monthly/quarterly updates to the CoE LT and DPLT.

Who you are

We strive to keep our standards high and look for candidates who can embrace collaboration, provide direction and mentor colleagues across different locations.

• Education: A University degree (Business or Life Sciences preferred) is required; an MBA or equivalent and professional certifications (e.g. CIPS, ISM) are desirable.
• Experience: 5-7+ years of experience in sourcing and end-to-end contract management. You have a proven track record of driving procurement projects (e.g. cost‑reduction initiatives and value‑improvement programs).
• Market Expertise: In‑depth knowledge of the regional supplier landscape and sourcing expertise with deep, hands‑on knowledge of complex direct procurement categories - specifically Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) & e‑components, Plastics & Packaging, and Biologicals & Chemicals.
• AI & Digitalization: Advanced knowledge in AI application and a strong affinity to explore AI‑driven solutions broadly, particularly regarding the digital transformation of operations (Digital 2.0 / Industry 4.0).
• Systems & Analytics: Strong proficiency navigating ERP systems (specifically SAP data), Procure-to-Pay (P2P) workflows, eSourcing/eAuction platforms, and BI tools like Tableau or ThoughtSpot.
• Mindset & Soft Skills: Highly analytical problem‑solver focused on translating complex business requirements into procurement specifications. Strong communication skills with an expert track record in conflict resolution.
• Mentorship & Global Leadership: Proven success managing project teams and mentoring junior colleagues across multiple remote locations, demonstrating high cultural intelligence to maintain cohesion.
• Languages: Business‑level fluency in English is required; Chinese and German language skills are a strong asset.
