The role focuses on optimizing total cost of ownership, ensuring supply continuity, and maintaining quality and compliance standards through structured sourcing, supplier performance analysis, and system-based procurement execution. Supports category strategies through spend analytics, market intelligence, supplier evaluation, and commercial comparisons, while collaborating cross-functionally with engineering, operations, finance, and supply chain teams. Acts as a procurement systems SME to enhance process efficiency, reporting accuracy, and governance, while contributing to continuous improvement and cost-reduction initiatives.

Key Tasks include.

· Drive data-led sourcing and purchasing activities for direct materials, indirect categories, MRO, logistics, and services within an automotive manufacturing environment, ensuring optimal total cost of ownership (TCO), quality compliance, and on-time supply.

· Perform detailed spend and demand trend analysis, cost benchmarking, and develop should-cost and scenario-based models to support negotiations and cost control initiatives.

· Lead and support low-to-medium complexity sourcing events including RFQs, bid tabulations, commercial evaluations, and technical compliance checks aligned with engineering and production requirements.

· Manage and optimize end to end procure to Pay (P2P) lifecycle including requisition validation, sourcing, PO creation, invoice reconciliation and payment resolution.

· Analyse supplier price increase/decrease submissions through structured business case modelling, including steel index and commodity index movement analysis, volume forecasts, and financial impact assessment before approval or negotiation.

· Monitor procurement transaction data and ERP signals to support stock replenishment timing, reorder triggers, and supply continuity planning through procurement dashboards

· Operate and optimize ERP and procurement platforms (e.g., Sap, Oracle, QAD etc.) for sourcing events, pricing updates, catalog enablement, supplier onboarding, workflow automation, and transaction tracking; acts as systems SME for user support and trouble shooting.

· Analyse inbound and outbound freight pricing structures, lane costs, and logistics charges, identifying optimization and consolidation opportunities to deliver transport cost savings.

· Evaluate supplier performance using KPIs covering price adherence, delivery reliability, quality metrics, and service levels, performance reports for monthly and quarterly business reviews and drive corrective actions where required.

· Conduct supplier capability, compliance, and risk assessments including financial risk, operational capacity, safety standards, and modern slavery compliance (CSR Compliance) across the supply chain.

· Support supplier onboarding processes including qualification reviews, code of conduct compliance, risk screening, and long-term agreement (LTA) documentation.

· Collaborate with engineering teams to validate specifications, BOM alignment and part number creation through Engineering Change Requests (ECR/ECO processes) prior to material receipt and ERP activation.

· Identify indirect procurement opportunities across contracts, auxiliaries, utilities, and consumables, and develop structured sourcing roadmaps and execution plans for cost reduction projects.

· Liaise cross-functionally with engineering, production planning, supply chain, quality, logistics, and finance teams to align procurement execution with manufacturing schedules and customer delivery requirements.

· Support supplier diversification and dual-sourcing strategies to strengthen sourcing resilience and reduce supply risk exposure.

· Provide analytical and operational procurement support to the internal stakeholders and team members, demonstrating ownership across assigned sourcing portfolios.

Financial Performance:

Review and resolve pricing discrepancies by validating against negotiated contracts, coordinating corrections with suppliers, and driving savings across the indirect spend portfolio.
Conduct financial impact assessments—including PPV, trend analysis, and non‑indexed price reviews—to ensure changes align with margin targets and identify cost risks or savings opportunities.
Evaluate total landed cost models (material, freight, duties, and ancillary charges) to support financially optimal sourcing decisions.
