    • Negotiate cost, terms, quality, technology, and delivery with suppliers to secure competitive advantage.
    • Build and manage strong supplier relationships, including performance reviews, risk management, and corrective actions.
    • Partner with cross-functional teams (Engineering, Program Management, Quality, Operations) to support new program launches and ensure supplier readiness.
    • Conduct detailed cost analysis, make/buy scenarios, and should-cost modeling to identify savings opportunities.
    • Monitor and analyze global market conditions and trends to proactively adjust sourcing strategies.
    • Support change management, supplier resourcing, and process improvements across the purchasing function.
    • Provide leadership in sourcing reviews, strategy presentations, and supplier negotiations.

    What We're Looking For:

    • 5–10 years of purchasing and supply chain management experience, ideally within automotive OEM or Tier 1.
    • Proven track record of leading supplier negotiations and delivering measurable cost savings.
    • Experience in commodity strategy development and portfolio ownership.
    • Ability to read and interpret technical prints/specifications and identify cost drivers.
    • Strong analytical skills with the ability to conduct cost breakdowns and market analysis.
    • Excellent project management, organizational, and multitasking skills.
    • Clear, professional communication and presentation skills.
    • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
    • Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain, Engineering, or a related field.
    • Minimal travel required.
