In this role, you'll:

1. Lead market analysis, manage RFx processes, and oversee strategic supplier relationships tied to core Capex spend.

3. Analytical and strategic, with hands-on experience in end-to-end RFx processes - from market analysis to supplier management.
4. Persuasive and proactive, with the ability to influence and drive change.
5. Knowledge of global supply chains and international trade regulations is a plus, but not essential.
