    • Collaborating with internal stakeholders, including engineering, procurement, quality assurance, and regulatory affairs teams, to ensure alignment on supplier requirements and objectives.
    • Providing support and guidance to suppliers to help them improve their capabilities and processes. Offer training and assistance in areas such as quality management, process optimization, and regulatory compliance.
    • Uphold high Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) standards, conducting all activities in compliance with relevant EHS systems.

    Skills and Experience:

    • Technical Competence: Understanding of engineering principles and processes relevant to the products or components being supplied. This includes knowledge of manufacturing processes, materials, and quality control techniques.
    • Problem-Solving Skills: Ability to identify and resolve issues related to supplier performance, product quality, and production processes. This may involve root cause analysis, corrective action planning, and continuous improvement methodologies such as Six Sigma or Lean Manufacturing.
    • Technical Writing: Ability to create technical reports, presentations, and procedural documents.
    • Communication Skills: Effective communication is essential for collaborating with suppliers, internal stakeholders, and cross-functional teams. This includes the ability to articulate requirements, provide feedback, and negotiate agreements.
    • Project Management: Capability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, set priorities, and meet deadlines. Supplier development projects often involve coordinating activities across different departments and organizations.
    • Analytical Skills: Proficiency in data analysis and interpretation to evaluate supplier performance, track key metrics, and identify improvement opportunities. This may involve statistical analysis, trend analysis, and performance benchmarking.
    • Relationship Building: Developing strong relationships with suppliers. This includes conducting supplier assessments, fostering open communication, and resolving conflicts effectively.
    • Supply Chain Management: Understanding of supply chain dynamics, including sourcing strategies, inventory management, and logistics. This helps in optimizing the flow of materials and minimizing supply chain risks.
    • Continuous Improvement Mindset: Commitment to ongoing learning and professional development, staying updated on industry trends, best practices, and emerging technologies in supplier development and supply chain management.
    • Quality and Regulatory Awareness: Understanding of relevant regulatory requirements and industry standards governing product quality, safety, and environmental sustainability.
    • Contract generation: Understanding of the key elements of supply agreements and their impact on business risk mitigation and supply performance. Ability to work with Suppliers and Legal Council to generate mutually beneficial contracts.

    Qualifications and Background:

    • Good practical skills and experience in the supply chain management and supplier engagement (essential).
    • A first degree or equivalent in process, manufacturing, mechanical, biomedical or general engineering, or other relevant discipline (essential)
    • A minimum of 2 years' experience in the medical device industry (or a comparably highly regulated industry) as a in production or maintenance (5+ years desirable).
    • Knowledge of Continuous Improvement methodology, i.e. Lean Six Sigma – Yellow Belt (desirable).
