About The Position

Negotiate with dedicated providers according to specific policies, securing the best contractual conditions while ensuring internal customer satisfaction. Apply knowledge of best practices and how the function integrates with other areas, while maintaining awareness of the competition and market differentiators. Optimize part and material definitions during the R&D stage to make sourcing easier. The role uses analytical and technical experience to execute policy and strategy, prioritize information for data analysis, and address day-to-day problems, including proposing solutions beyond established parameters. It operates with some autonomy within functional practices and policies, and may modify procedures as long as quality, volume, and timeliness standards are met. The position also serves as a resource to less-experienced colleagues, may lead small, low-risk projects, communicates performance expectations, and helps teams reach consensus. The role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information; where applicable, final offers depend on authorization from the U.S. Government. Candidates may also be subject to heightened security checks due to the role’s involvement with critical infrastructure.
