  • Strong understanding of the Procure-to-Pay (P2P) process, sourcing, negotiations, and demand management.
  • Experience working with global suppliers and multiple indirect categories (MRO, Mechanical, Electrical, Admin).
  • Background in industries such as Automotive, Auto Ancillary, Foundry, or Welding.
  • A technical degree (Engineering) or MBA in Supply Chain/Procurement with relevant experience.

What You'll Get from Us

 

  1. We promote from within and support your learning with mentoring, training, and access to global opportunities.
  2. You’ll have flexibility, autonomy, and support to do your best work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Your well-being matters to us.
  3. We strive to create an inclusive work environment where people of all backgrounds are respected, and valued for who they are.
  4. You’ll receive benefits like 13th salary, annual bonus, paid vacation, pension plans, personal insurance, and more. These vary by country and contract, but they’re worth asking about—we think they’re pretty great.
