• You take responsibility for the strategic direction of the “subcontractor” product group assigned to you and develop innovative and tailor-made sourcing strategies, which you plan and implement in close cooperation with operational purchasing as well as the other specialist and interface departments.
• You identify global procurement sources and acquire new partners, taking into account the previously defined sourcing strategies, in order to ensure long-term competitiveness and delivery capability and to create optimal cost structures.
• You focus your analysis on the development of global procurement markets and make the best possible use of the group-wide bundling and optimization potential. You will sharpen your understanding of the (industry)-specific risks along global supply chains and develop concepts to avoid or minimize them.
• You are responsible for the continuous development of the supplier portfolio and know how to build collaborative relationships with contacts across the various organizational structures and in a multicultural environment.
• You work closely with the international sales units and coordinate between the strategically selected suppliers as well as the specialist and interface departments. You ensure market-oriented, binding offers based on optimized service specifications in the early offer phase and thus lay important foundations for later, successful project execution.
• You independently carry out conditions and price negotiations, which you conclude in sustainably designed framework agreements, taking into account the constant company growth and group-wide capacity planning.
• You establish standards and assess suppliers and their performance characteristics in order to ensure and continuously develop successful and goal-oriented collaboration in the long term.
• You lead projects for process and cost optimization and actively shape the procurement processes, incorporating the defined sourcing strategy(s). You ensure that the agreed KPIs are adhered to.
