About The Position

Over the past decades, ASML has grown exponentially, and as we rely heavily on our supply chain, so has our supply chain ecosystem. In the coming years, we expect further growth that will require a transformation of large parts of our Supply Chain.

Strategic Sourcing & Procurement collaborates closely with our supply chain partners to enhance their operational performance across the QLTCS domains—Quality, Logistics, Technology, Cost, and Sustainability. The day-to-day operational activities are managed within the framework of supplier clusters. To drive transformation, the Supply Chain Transformation team leads initiatives that focus on evolving the business. This includes maintaining continuous and transparent communication channels, providing constructive behavioral feedback to team members and peers, and supporting their development. The team also plays a pivotal role in inspiring, engaging, and guiding cross-sector and project team members to achieve shared goals.
