As Supply Chain Manager, part of the operation team, you own the full procurement-to-delivery cycle for our offices around Europe. You ensure components and consumables are available, stock records are accurate, quality standards are met, and data is clean, complete, and usable.

Negotiate prices, payment terms, and service agreements with suppliers to secure the best value for the business.

Build and maintain a qualified supplier portfolio, including backup sources for critical categories.

Monitor market conditions and commodity price trends to anticipate cost fluctuations and adjust purchasing strategy accordingly.

Work with technical and service teams to align product and component specifications with real operational needs.

Maintain quality control records to support warranty management, regulatory compliance, and supplier accountability.

Data Management and Reporting

Maintain accurate and up-to-date data in the procurement and inventory management system.

Produce regular reports on purchasing performance, stock levels, waste, cost variances, and supplier KPIs.

Track key metrics including fill rate, order lead times, stock rotation, and shrinkage rate.

Identify trends and anomalies in data and translate them into operational recommendations for management.

Ensure traceability records are complete and accessible for internal audits and regulatory requirements.

Cross-Functional Coordination

Collaborate with technical service, sales, and finance teams to align purchasing plans with deployment schedules and budgets.

Participate in new product launches and hardware rollouts to anticipate component requirements and assess sourcing feasibility.
