- Evaluate supplier capabilities and performance and work with suppliers and internal teams to address issues and improve performance.
- Identify supplier, market, and supply continuity risks and develop strategies to minimize potential disruptions to the business.
- Support strategic projects, operational initiatives, new equipment or technology implementations, and other projects requiring Procurement involvement.
- Develop and monitor procurement KPIs and provide updates on supplier performance, savings, risks, and opportunities.
- Work closely with Sofidel's U.S. and global Procurement teams to share supplier information, market knowledge, sourcing opportunities, and best practices.
- Support Sofidel's responsible and sustainable sourcing practices through supplier evaluation and engagement.
Job Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Engineering, Operations, Finance, or a related field.
- 7+ years of progressive experience in procurement, strategic sourcing, category management, or a related function, preferably within a manufacturing environment.

- Demonstrated experience developing and managing strategic supplier relationships and monitoring supplier performance.
- Proven ability to identify and deliver measurable cost savings, cost avoidance, and other opportunities that improve business performance.
- Strong commercial and financial acumen with solid analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Experience working cross-functionally with Manufacturing, Engineering, Operations, Finance, Supply Chain, Quality, and other business functions.
- Experience within tissue, paper, converting, packaging, consumer products, or another high-volume manufacturing environment is strongly preferred.
- SAP experience is preferred.
