• Drive improvement in category performance through rigorous analysis, customer engagement and procurement methodologies.

Skills and Experience

• University degree or equivalent professional experience in a relevant commercial, technical or supply chain discipline.
• Significant experience in global procurement, category management or strategic sourcing, ideally within raw materials or commodity supply markets.
• Proven track record of developing and delivering global sourcing strategies, managing complex international supplier bases and delivering measurable commercial value.
• Strong commercial and negotiation capability, including experience leading contract negotiations and supplier agreement management.
• Experience operating in volatile commodity markets, balancing cost optimisation, supply security and long-term supplier relationships.
• Experience applying advanced sourcing methodologies and procurement frameworks, including e-sourcing or e-optimisation tools and strategic portfolio approaches such as the AT Kearney Procurement Chessboard or similar category strategy models.
• Ability to operate effectively within a global procurement matrix organisation, collaborating across functions and geographies to deliver sourcing outcomes.
• Strong customer engagement skills, with the ability to influence across supply chain, manufacturing, finance and technology teams.
