As the Lead for Indirect Purchasing, you will be the primary architect of our non-production sourcing strategy. You will move beyond transactional buying to build a scalable procurement foundation that empowers our engineers to innovate faster, ensuring they have the critical R&D resources they need without administrative bottlenecks.
WHAT YOU WILL DO

Strategic Category Ownership: Take full responsibility for sourcing strategies across Indirect categories, including R&D technical materials, Lab CAPEX, IT, and Professional Services.
Process Architecture & Operations: Design and implement scalable "Procure-to-Pay" processes that balance financial compliance with speed in collaboration with the finance team. You will identify and implement the right procurement tools (e.g., ERP modules, Coupa) to automate routine purchasing.
Stakeholder Partnership: Act as the strategic advisor to Engineering and Operations leadership. You will translate complex technical requirements into commercial tenders and contracts, helping departments forecast major expenditures.
Supplier Relations: Negotiate framework agreements and handle high-value contracts to secure cost savings and minimize risk, specifically for complex technical equipment and services.
WHO YOU ARE

Experience: 5+ years in purchasing with a dedicated focus on Indirect Procurement, MRO, or R&D Sourcing.
Autonomy: You have a proven ability to work independently and set your own roadmap. You don't wait for instructions; you see a gap in the process and fix it.
Technical Savvy: Experience buying for technical environments (labs, manufacturing, engineering) is essential. You understand the difference between OPEX and CAPEX. xmdgtar
Systems: Experience implementing or optimizing procurement software (Coupa, SAP, Oracle, etc.) is a strong plus.
