Here’s what will help you succeed in this role: Strategic Sourcing Expertise: Strong knowledge of strategic purchasing, supplier relationship management, negotiations, and total cost of ownership principles. Business & Technical Acumen: Understanding of financing fundamentals, agreement law, risk analysis, supplier audits, and manufacturing, supply chain, and R&D processes.
