· 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.
