Change Management: Develop creative business and operating models with strategic suppliers to drive operational excellence and continuous cost improvement. Successfully manage change by analyzing extensive procurement data, creating executive summaries and presenting its impact to senior leadership routinely.
Risk & Compliance: Identify and mitigate supply chain risks. Ensure all procurement activities comply with company policies, good procurement practices, ethical standards, and TRUMPF's Internal Control System (ICS).

Experience

Strong interpersonal, negotiation and problem-solving skills, ability to work under pressure, strong analytical and conceptual skills, and high self-confidence are a must.
