A Snapshot of Your Day 

On a day-to-day basis, you will own end-to-end strategic procurement for assigned categories and project packages, leading complex sourcing events and negotiations to secure the best total value (safety, quality, delivery, and total cost of ownership). You will shape sourcing strategies, establish contracting frameworks, and drive supplier performance and risk mitigation across the supply base. As a senior team member, you will advise and influence stakeholders across Operations, Project Management, Engineering, Quality, Legal, and Finance, and coach others on best practices, governance, and compliant execution.
