  4. Take the lead in managing all third-party sourcing and procurement activities throughout projects and product life cycles.
  5. Oversee daily procurement transactions, including new supplier approvals, vendor master maintenance, purchase order execution, delivery of goods and services, and the three-way matching of invoices and delivery notes.
  6. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to manage expectations and establish sustainable best-in-class strategic sourcing practices in alignment with global direction.
  7. Generate and lead initiatives aimed at improving our year-on-year savings and Trade Working Capital (TWC).
  8. Support other local and regional initiatives driven by the EMEA Procurement and Transformation Team as needed.
  9. Act as a project leader for various transformation initiatives, working closely with vendors and internal stakeholders to implement new programs and processes that drive increased value.
  10. Enhance traceability and transparency of purchasing-related savings while effectively managing cost-saving tracking.
  11. Assist in upcoming RFPs by conducting necessary analyses to inform business award decisions.
  12. Review, approve, or reject purchase requisitions to ensure compliance with our Global Procurement policy and facilitate future spend management and enhancement analysis.
  13. Assist in effectively resolving Procure-to-Pay issues with our vendors.
