Job Description

In this position... As a Buyer, you will own sourcing and supplier management for Plastic Tubes supporting Ford engine programs. You will also help lead cross-functional resilience efforts across the broader supply base protecting production and launches by identifying supply risks and driving actions such as resourcing, dual sourcing, stockpiles, supplier restructuring, and capacity or plant development. You will partner with Product Development, Finance, Supply Chain (STA) and other teams to balance cost, quality, delivery, and launch readiness, and to ensure continuity of supply.

What you'll do...

Own Plastic Tubes sourcing and supplier management

*Own the sourcing and supplier-management strategy for Plastic Tubes, including supplier relationships, commercial negotiations, and performance against cost, quality, delivery, and program requirements.

*Lead sourcing for assigned programs: market analysis, design competitions and market tests, business cases, negotiation, contracting, and launch milestones, delivering best cost at Job One and over the life of the component.

*Build market intelligence on cost drivers, bills of process, supplier capacity, and competitive position; use it to set and deliver cost targets, working with Product Development to develop forward-model cost targets.

*Build and strengthen global supplier relationships and influence supplier technology roadmaps; give suppliers clear feedback on their cost position relative to the market.

*Co-lead commodity strategy with Product Development, including the transition from ICE to BEV, and contribute to program workshops to identify vehicle-competitive pricing.

*Lead supplier business reviews and strategic initiatives (e.g., quarterly business reviews, cost strategy and gap-closure sessions).

Engine Commodity resilience

Identify and assess supply risks across the broader Engine commodity base, including capacity, financial health, sub-tier, and geographic exposure.

Develop and drive mitigation plans, including resourcing, dual sourcing, stockpile strategies, supplier restructuring or improvement plans, and new capacity or plant development.

Manage emerging supplier issues (supply, quality, cost, capacity), align internal stakeholders on mitigation, and follow through to closure.

Co-lead the cross-functional interface with Product Development, Finance, and Supply Chain to keep resilience actions on track and funded.

You'll have...

Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain, or Engineering

5+ years of experience in purchasing, supply chain, or sourcing, preferably in automotive or a manufacturing environment

Experience assessing supplier and supply-chain risk and developing mitigation plans

Experience with resilience strategies such as resourcing, dual sourcing, inventory/stockpile planning, supplier capacity expansion, or supplier restructuring

Strong negotiation skills, including creating leverage in both offensive and defensive situations

Cost analytics skills: understanding of commodity cost drivers, part cost breakdowns, and gap-to-target analysis

Strong analytical skills, including sourcing evaluations and business cases

Strong leadership, interpersonal, and communication skills, with the ability to influence cross-functional teams without direct authority

Working knowledge of purchasing policies, procedures, and systems

Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools

Ability to travel as required

Even better, you may have... MBA or other advanced degree

Knowledge of plastic and polymer components, such as extruded or molded tubing, resin materials, tooling, and related manufacturing processes

Experience with distressed or financially at-risk suppliers, including working with Legal and Finance on commercial agreements

Experience with data and visualization tools (e.g., Power BI) for risk monitoring

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

That is how we know which CVs get called.
