  • Lead strategic sourcing projects, supplier selection processes, contract negotiations, and commercial discussions with key partners worldwide.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with engineering companies and construction partners to enhance performance, innovation, and reliability.
  • Define commercial frameworks and contracting models that balance project delivery, value creation, compliance, and risk management.
  • Drive supplier performance through clear metrics covering cost, quality, schedule, safety, sustainability, and service excellence.
  • Identify opportunities for cost optimization, standardization, and process improvement across global investment projects.
  • Lead, coach, and develop a global team of category professionals while supporting talent growth and succession planning.
  • Establish procurement governance, processes, and standards for capital investment projects across regions and sites.

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