4. Manage end-to-end commercial agreements, from contracts to long-term supplier partnerships.
5. Partner with engineering, quality, and programme teams to ensure aligned decisions and seamless delivery.
6. Maintain oversight of purchasing through SAP and other systems, supporting daily project requirements.
What you bring:
7. Strong experience in direct procurement or commodity buying within automotive or engineering-led environments such as electronics, aviation or other related manufacturing industries.
8. Proven ability managing technical, high-value commodities and complex supplier networks.
9. Skilled in negotiation, supplier influence, and stakeholder management.
10. Analytical, structured approach to cost, risk, and supplier strategy, balancing programme priorities with commercial outcomes.
11. Comfortable in fast-moving, technically complex environments, where decisions directly affect high-value vehicle programmes.
