Job Summary

The role supports sourcing, negotiations, cost reduction, supply risk mitigation, and item master data, and owns supplier on-time delivery (OTD).

This position owns strategic procurement activities and supports tactical execution, bridging the Commodity Manager, who sets category strategy, and the Tactical Buyer, who executes purchase orders. The Strategic Buyer uses independent judgment to resolve material issues.

  • Partner with cross-functional teams across the supplier lifecycle, from evaluation, selection, and onboarding through risk mitigation and offboarding, including dual-sourcing strategies with the global sourcing team.
  • Support global sourcing on supply agreement negotiations and monitor contract compliance.
  • Drive cost reduction through the VIP pipeline and value engineering. Support the annual standard cost update and own purchase price variance review and material quotes.
  • Own supplier OTD and long-term performance through scorecards, supplier reviews, and QBRs, and drive actions that reduce delivery risk and business impact.
  • Resolve supplier delivery and quality issues with cross-functional partners, including root cause and corrective action.
  • Partner with data governance and cross-functional teams to maintain accurate item master data and strategic ERP parameters, including pricing, lead times, MOQ, safety stock, and sourcing rules. Support new supplier and part number setup, as well as engineering and supplier changes.
  • Review demand, MRP signals, inventory, and open POs with Planning and Manufacturing. Share forecasts with suppliers and escalate supply risks.
  • Guide Tactical Buyers on PO requirements, transactional exceptions, escalated issues, and end-of-life materials. Process POs as needed.
  • Improve inventory turns through programs such as supplier Kanban, and lead continuous improvement and site cross-functional projects.
  • Represent Supply Chain on New Product teams and define supply chain strategy for new products.

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

That is how we know which CVs get called.
