Act as the primary point of contact for strategic suppliers, resolving supply, production, delivery, and engineering-related challenges.
Manage strategic third-party manufacturing relationships, including tool transfer projects, component lifecycle management, obsolescence planning, design improvements, and cost-reduction initiatives.
Collaborate with Procurement and Engineering teams in Oslo to support inventory planning, forecasting accuracy, and supplier performance.
Support Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs), providing insights into supplier performance, tool maintenance planning, and spare parts management.
Generate procurement reports and cost analyses to support business decision-making and continuous improvement.
Support broader Dundee procurement activities as required by the Supervisor, Procurement, Planning & Control.

Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to engage stakeholders at all levels.
Strong organizational, prioritization, and multitasking skills with a high level of attention to detail.
Ability to work independently and collaboratively within a fast-paced, matrixed, and geographically diverse environment.
Willingness to travel approximately 10%, including occasional international travel.

Preferred Qualifications
