Responsibilities

As Sourcing Manager, you will be responsible for the development and execution of sourcing and category strategies across direct and indirect materials. Leading a high-performing team, you will ensure sourcing delivers value, innovation, and resilience. You will collaborate across relevant functions (R&D, operations, finance, product management) to align sourcing strategy with business goals while driving implementations.

• Developing and implementing category strategies based on market intelligence and customer demands.
• Driving cost savings, risk mitigation, and value creation through strategic sourcing.
• Managing supplier selection, performance, and long-term partnerships.
• Negotiating high-value contracts and framework agreements.
• Ensuring compliance with procurement policies, ethical standards, and legal requirements.
• Advocating digital procurement tools and sustainable sourcing practices.
• Supporting strategic projects such as cost efficiency and tariff response planning.
