Develop contingency plans to ensure business continuity. Continuous improvement – drive actions to increase category maturity including the use of digital tools to augment visibility to tier-N spend and proactively manage risks.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: partner with Engineering, Manufacturing, Planning, Quality, Logistics, Operations & Global Counterpart to resolve supply issues, support manufacturing requirements, improve supplier performance, and implement sourcing initiatives.
Engineering Change & Lifecycle Support: support Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), supplier changes, product transfers, and lifecycle management activities to ensure uninterrupted supply.
Capacity & Demand Management: collaborate with suppliers and internal planning teams to ensure adequate production capacity and material availability to meet changing customer demand.
Supplier Development: drive supplier development initiatives, corrective actions, continuous improvement projects, and performance reviews in collaboration with Supplier Quality. Defining and establishing local standard agreements with all major suppliers, while providing and maintaining standard terms in purchase contracts/terms and conditions in line with company directives and guidelines.
Compliance & Reporting: ensure procurement activities comply with ABB policies, contractual requirements, and regulatory standards. Prepare and communicate reports on supplier performance, cost savings, sourcing initiatives, and supply chain risks.

Qualifications

A Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Engineering, Production/Operations management, Supply Chain or closely related field.
