Job description

The Procurement Supervisor provides full operational ownership of Procure-to Pay (P2P) cycle, local sourcing, and supervises a dedicated team of six. The supervisor establishes clear operational ownership across both daily plant purchasing and large capital expansion projects — assisting operations, maintenance, and engineering departments in debottlenecking procurement workflows. By driving total lifecycle cost analysis, enforcing flow-down contract provisions, and managing the end-to-end Procure-to-Pay (P2P) cycle, this position ensures commercial expectations, quality standards, sustainability goals, and delivery timelines are met to support scalable, incident-free operations.

Position Responsibilities:

• Team Leadership & Operational Ownership: supervise, coach, and evaluate a team of buyers. Establish and oversee daily priorities, assign category/project workloads, and enforce team discipline and execution.
• Supplier Management & Cost Reduction: engage with key suppliers to build strong relationships while negotiating favorable commercial terms, pricing, and delivery schedules. Conduct cost-benefit analyses to drive measurable, documented cost savings without compromising quality or compliance.
• Procure-to-Pay (P2P) & SAP Discipline: deliver accurate SAP / ERP system transactions to maintain procurement data integrity and streamline the P2P cycle. Enforce same-day PO creation and expediting standards to eliminate backlogs; coordinate cross functionally to troubleshoot discrepancies.
• Continuous Improvement & Change Leadership: serve as a Change Champion leveraging procurement technology tools and data analytics to optimize supply chain efficiency, manage KPIs, and enhance decision-making.
• Act as a supportive and inspirational leader who can work independently with a high sense of urgency in a hands-on, active industrial team environment ("boots on the ground" engagement).

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in supply chain, business, logistics, or related field.
• Minimum 5 years of progressive commercial purchasing, project procurement, or supply chain experience in an industrial, mining, refining, or petrochemical processing environment.
• Minimum 3 years of direct supervisory or team leadership experience, with a proven track record of managing purchasing specialists, buyers, or expeditors (managing teams of 3+ required; 5+ preferred).
• Proficiency with ERP/MRP systems (SAP experience required) and advanced MS Office skills (Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
• Demonstrated expertise in Procure-to-Pay (P2P) principles, commercial contract terms, total life cycle cost analysis, and industrial safety/governance standards.

Preferred Education / Certification:

• Master’s degree in Business Administration (MBA) or Supply Chain Management.
• CPSM (Certified Professional in Supply Management) or equivalent.

Desired Qualities:

• Change Champion & Leader: Has the courage and expertise to lead change, stimulating new thinking in a positive, collaborative fashion with an overall value-add business perspective.
• Execution & Velocity: Passion for problem-solving and delivering results in a fast-paced environment; able to deal with ambiguity and act independently with confidence and speed.
• Data Analytics & Cost Management: Expertise in analyzing procurement costs, conducting cost-benefit analyses, and tracking key performance indicators via SAP and Excel to make data-driven decisions.
• Cross-Functional Collaborator: High personal integrity and exceptional customer service orientation, building strong alignment across Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, Finance, Capital Projects, Legal, and external partners.
