  • Conduct technical benchmarks, supplier capability assessments, and sourcing evaluations across materials, tooling, and manufacturability
  • Identify and develop new sourcing options and innovation opportunities together with PLDs, R&D, and suppliers
  • Lead and coordinate cross‑functional projects with strong technical scope (e.g. material initiatives, portfolio rationalization, supplier development programs)
  • Provide technical guidance and troubleshooting support for supplier‑related issues
  • Act as a key interface between Purchasing, PLDs, R&D, Quality, Sales, and external suppliers
  • Support resolution of technical quality issues and drive continuous improvement across the supplier portfolio

What you'll bring:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering, Materials Science, or Business with strong technical exposure
  • Proven experience in technical sourcing, supplier development, and leading cross‑functional projects in an industrial or manufacturing environment
  • Strong expertise in portfolio strategy, technical benchmarking, and Make‑or‑Buy frameworks, with the ability to translate technical requirements into sourcing and purchasing decisions
  • Experience leading teams and/or coordinating cross‑regional and global stakeholders
  • Strategic and structured mindset, able to connect long‑term vision with concrete actions and execution
  • Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills across PLDs, R&D, Sales, Quality, and suppliers
  • Solid understanding of Purchasing processes and supplier management
  • High level of initiative, autonomy, resilience, and adaptability in a changing environment
  • Continuous improvement mindset with affinity for analytics and digital tools
