Stakeholder Engagement: Maintain consistent and structured communication with internal and external stakeholders to ensure alignment, transparency, and timely decision-making across sourcing activities. Supplier Negotiation: Engage in commercial negotiations with suppliers to secure optimal terms, balancing cost, quality, and delivery timelines. Bachelor's degree required; Master's degree preferred 3+ years of experience in indirect procurement; sourcing experience strongly preferred. Proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint); experience with Power BI and Power Automate is a plus. Skilled in e-sourcing tools (E-RFQ, E-Auctions), with hands-on expertise in SAP Ariba. Strong verbal and written communication skills in English Collaboration: Collaborate effectively with global, regional, and local management teams across diverse geographies. Problem solving and analytical thinking: Analyze sourcing challenges and deliver practical, data-driven solutions, and interpret complex data and extract actionable business insights to support strategic decisions. Attention to details: Ensure accuracy in supplier documentation and sourcing data. Agility: Thrive in dynamic, fast-paced, and cross-cultural environments. Time Management: Skilled at managing multiple sourcing projects simultaneously, meeting deadlines, and effectively prioritizing tasks based on urgency and impact.
