    Where You'll Make a Difference

    • Build and manage strong relationships with key suppliers, aligning category strategies with global, regional, and local business needs.
    • Drive supply‑resilience initiatives to position the company as a customer of first choice for strategic suppliers.
    • Develop and manage a pipeline of productivity initiatives that deliver hard savings, cash‑flow improvements, and support ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals.
    • Lead the sourcing, negotiation, and contracting of Direct Materials and Indirect Materials & Services (IMS) within and outside the North America region.
    • Monitor volatile energy and maritime markets, providing proactive communication on risks, opportunities, and market changes.
    • Oversee supplier performance, including commercial assessments, QSE (Quality, Safety & Environment) compliance, and execution of defined Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
    • Manage supply risks—including financial, operational, and HSE (Health, Safety & Environment) factors—to ensure safe and timely delivery.
    • Apply the company's 7‑step strategic sourcing methodology and Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) principles to ensure best‑in‑class procurement practices.

    What Makes You the Right Fit

    • Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, International Business, or a related field.
    • 5+ years of experience in Procurement or Strategic Sourcing, preferably within the energy, hydrocolloids, or industrial commodities sectors.

    • Proven experience managing complex supplier portfolios and executing category strategies.
    • Advanced negotiation skills and a strong record of managing vendor performance and resolving commercial issues.

    How Would You Stand Out?
