Our client is a well-established manufacturer operating across heavy industry sectors — off-road equipment, defense, rail, mining, and more. Their procurement function is global, their supply chain is complex, and they're growing. This is a senior leadership role with real scope: you'll own the Buy Complete purchasing function end-to-end, lead a team, and play a key role in expanding their international supplier network — particularly across Asia and India.
If you're a procurement leader who thrives in high mix, low volume manufacturing, knows how to build supplier relationships across borders, and wants a role where your decisions shape the whole organization — we'd love to connect.
──────────────────────────────────
WHAT YOU'LL DO
──────────────────────────────────
▸ Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing purchasing team — including a Buyer, Asian Sourcing Leader, and Purchasing Assistant — building accountability and a culture of continuous improvement
▸ Own the full Buy Complete supply chain function: supplier qualification, onboarding, relationship management, and performance oversight across local and international sources
▸ Drive cost reduction and benchmarking initiatives — re-sourcing, commercial negotiations, and CI activities
▸ Lead trimester vendor pricing preparation and final price negotiations with overseas suppliers
▸ Manage long lead time materials, forecast-driven purchasing, and inventory risk within a fast-paced manufacturing environment
▸ Assess and mitigate geopolitical, logistical, and supply chain risks associated with global sourcing
▸ Utilize ERP/MRP systems to support purchasing planning, inventory targets, and operational decision-making
▸ Collaborate cross-functionally with Scheduling, Production, Quality, Engineering, and Customer Service to keep the floor moving
▸ Develop and expand the supplier network within India and other strategic global sourcing regions
▸ Develop, implement, and communicate purchasing policies, procedures, and best practices across the department
──────────────────────────────────
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
──────────────────────────────────
▸ 3+ years of leadership experience managing purchasing, procurement, or supply chain teams within a manufacturing environment
▸ Hands-on experience sourcing machined, fabricated, cast, or other industrial manufacturing components
▸ Proven experience working with overseas suppliers — Asia experience is required; India experience is a strong asset
▸ Skilled negotiator across international pricing, commercial terms, freight terms, and supplier agreements
▸ Working knowledge of foreign exchange and its impact on purchasing decisions
▸ ERP/MRP proficiency — experience with Visual Manufacturing or similar systems preferred
▸ Strong understanding of ROP, forecast buying, inventory management, and lean methodology
▸ Familiarity with welding, machining, and manufacturing fabrication processes
▸ Degree or diploma in Supply Chain Management or a related field; SCMP or APICS certification is an asset
▸ Mandarin language skills are a bonus but not required
▸ A big-picture thinker who understands how a purchasing decision ripples across an entire organization
▸ Calm under pressure, highly organized, and effective at managing competing priorities in a dynamic environment
──────────────────────────────────
WHY JOIN OUR CLIENT
──────────────────────────────────
▸ A senior role with real influence — you'll shape procurement strategy, not just execute it
▸ A growing global supply chain function with active expansion into India and Asia
▸ A collaborative, cross-functional environment in a well-established manufacturing operation
▸ Opportunity for occasional domestic and international travel to support supplier development and sourcing initiatives
▸ Competitive compensation commensurate with experience
