The posting

About AmbaFlex

At AmbaFlex, we are the global market leader in spiral conveyor solutions. Our systems are used worldwide in industries such as logistics, packaging, bottling & Canning and e-commerce. With production and engineering locations in Zwaag, Jucu, Shanghai and Canton, we operate in a fast-moving international manufacturing environment where innovation, quality and collaboration are key.

To strengthen our Global Materials Management Department, we are looking for a Senior Purchaser who can take ownership of critical supplier groups and drive real impact.

The role

As Senior Purchaser, you are responsible for a significant part of our global supply chain (± €10M spend across ~20–25 suppliers).

This is not a traditional purchasing role. You act as the owner of your supplier portfolio, balancing cost, availability, quality and risk across an international network. You combine strategic sourcing with hands-on execution and are expected to set priorities, make decisions and drive improvements - not wait for direction.

You operate in a global context (with a strong footprint in Asia and growing demand from the US) and work closely with internal stakeholders across Engineering, Production, Logistics and R&D.

You will report to the Global Material Manager.

In this role, you will:

  • Take ownership of key global supplier groups and manage performance end-to-end
  • Develop and execute sourcing strategies for critical components and commodities
  • Lead supplier negotiations and manage contracts with a strong commercial mindset
  • Actively manage supply chain risks (e.g. geopolitical, capacity, lead times)
  • Improve supplier performance on cost, quality, delivery and reliability
  • Identify and realize structural cost savings — beyond short-term deals
  • Optimize lead times and ensure continuity of supply (no stock-outs)
  • Visit and develop suppliers internationally (mainly Europe and Asia)
  • Collaborate with internal teams to align procurement with production needs
  • Bring structure, speed and ownership to procurement processes

Who you are

You are a senior procurement professional who combines strategic insight with execution power.

You don’t just manage suppliers, you own your scope like a business.

You bring:

  • A strong sense of ownership and accountability
  • The ability to prioritize what truly impacts the business
  • A helicopter view of supply chains combined with attention to detail
  • A proactive mindset, you act before issues arise
  • Strong negotiation and contract management skills
  • Commercial awareness and an entrepreneurial mindset
  • The ability to challenge stakeholders and suppliers constructively
  • A pragmatic approach, you get things done, even without perfect processes
  • High discipline in documenting agreements and managing follow-ups
  • The ability to operate under pressure and maintain control

Your background

  • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, Business or similar
  • 7–10 years of experience in procurement, preferably in a manufacturing environment
  • Proven track record in supplier negotiations and contract management
  • Experience managing international suppliers and complex supply chains
  • Strong technical affinity (knowledge of manufacturing processes is a plus)
  • Experience with plastics (injection molding), metal forming or similar processes is a strong advantage
  • Familiarity with ERP systems (e.g. Epicor)
  • Fluent in English and Dutch

What we offer

At AmbaFlex, you can expect:

  • A role with real ownership and direct impact on a global supply chain
  • An international working environment with short communication lines
  • A pragmatic, no-nonsense company culture
  • The opportunity to shape and improve procurement on a global level
  • Competitive salary + bonus + company car
  • Training and development via our learning platform
  • Attention to physical and mental wellbeing

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
