The Strategic Sourcing Manager acts as a real “Sparring partner” to the BU Head of Supply. The scope of activities is broad and can touch different areas, such as the overall BU’s supply footprint and presentations to Hilti’s Top management.
The Strategic Sourcing Manager is responsible for the Sourcing, Purchasing & Logistics deliverables for a product line (e.g. Distance Metres, Rotating Lasers….) and is part of the management of this product line, meaning it heavily contributes to its strategy, product development and profitability.
You manage selected commodities of components and services (e.g. electronics, software) and/or directly sellable products (e.g. Accessories). The activities include: strategies, supplier relationship management, negotiations, Supply improvement projects together with different internal (e.g. Engineering and Manufacturing colleagues) and external stakeholders.
By creating and implementing all activities on methods, tools and strategies you improve how Supply is managed in the BU. An area we particularly look to improve in is in the creation and implementation of cross-functional (e.g. with Engineering, Marketing, etc) commodity strategies and implementation activities.
