Full Job Description

Position Overview

The Procurement Director plays a pivotal role in leading the procurement function and serves as an integral member of the Site Leader’s management team. This is a hands-on leadership role, not a desk-only management position. The successful candidate will be actively involved in day-to-day purchasing activities, supplier management, issue resolution, and continuous improvement across the manufacturing site. This position carries full responsibility for establishing, leading, and developing the site purchasing team, with a strong focus on engineering cost optimization. In addition, the Procurement Director is responsible for ensuring a dependable supply chain, maintaining strict cost controls, and driving operational excellence. All of these efforts are aimed at improving overall plant performance and creating a seamless, efficient purchasing operation aligned with the company’s strategic goals. The right person will be willing to get involved on the shop floor, work closely with operations, and help solve problems directly.

The role manages a team of 4 to 8 buyers and purchasing professionals and oversees a growing annual purchasing spend of approximately $20M. The Purchasing Director is a key contributor to production continuity, cost competitiveness, and supplier performance.

Purchasing Operations & Strategic Sourcing

Lead all day‑to‑day purchasing activities supporting manufacturing and on‑time delivery.
Develop and execute strategic sourcing plans aligned with site requirements and USA purchasing objectives.
Identify, qualify, audit, and develop suppliers to ensure competitiveness, quality, and capacity.
Negotiate and implement long‑term supply agreements (LTAs) and framework contracts.

Purchased Categories

Raw materials (steel, aluminum, and other metals)
Laser cutting, fabrication, welding, and metal forming services
Machining and industrial subcontracting
Commercial off‑the‑shelf components and standard parts
Recurring production and project‑based procurement

Cost, Negotiation & Supplier Performance

Lead supplier negotiations for recurring production and new programs.
Drive cost reduction, productivity, and value‑engineering initiatives.
Monitor supplier KPIs (cost, quality, delivery, responsiveness, capacity).
Proactively manage supply risks and implement mitigation and dual‑sourcing strategies.

Cross‑Functional & US Purchasing Collaboration

Work closely with Manufacturing, Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Planning, and Finance at the site level.
Partner with the USA Purchasing Director to deploy purchasing policies, tools, and best practices.
Contribute to US‑level sourcing initiatives and continuous improvement programs.
