Senior Procurement Manager - RU

MARFLEX

<div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><h3 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>Why This Role?</b></h3>
<p>
Some procurement roles are all about price. This one isn&rsquo;t.</p>
<p>
As Sourcing Manager at Marflex, you&rsquo;ll shape the international supply chain behind high-tech maritime pumping systems used around the world.</p>
<p>
From strategic sourcing and supplier development to engineering collaboration, you&rsquo;ll make decisions that directly impact quality, innovation, and business performance.</p>
<p><b>
The Role</b></p>
<p>
As a Sourcing Manager, you ensure that our supply chain not only functions effectively but continuously improves.</p>
<p>
You operate at the intersection of engineering, commerce, and strategy. One moment, you&rsquo;re discussing new designs with engineers; the next, you&rsquo;re working with suppliers on feasibility, or advising management on costs, risks, and long-term sustainability.</p>
<p>
You don&rsquo;t just build relationships with suppliers, you develop a network that strengthens our entire organisation.</p>
<p>
This is not a role where you simply purchase products. It&rsquo;s a role where you help shape the future of our supply chain.</p>
<p><b>
What Drives You?</b></p>
<p>
You quickly identify where value is lost within a supply chain, and you enjoy implementing structural improvements. You are comfortable in technical discussions but always look beyond specifications, considering the long-term implications for quality, cost, and supply security.</p>
<p>
You move easily between the factory floor, the boardroom, and suppliers across Europe and Asia. You understand that successful negotiations are not just about securing the best deal, they are about understanding how the entire supply chain operates.</p></div><br>
<p></p>
</div><div><div><h3 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>What You&rsquo;ll Do (In Brief)</b></h3>
<p></p>
<p>You will define our strategic sourcing approach, focusing on total cost rather than price alone. Working closely with Engineering, you will help develop new products that are smarter, more manufacturable, and commercially sustainable.</p>
<p>
You will ensure that our suppliers can meet today&rsquo;s requirements while also being prepared for the products and challenges of tomorrow.</p>
<p>
And when issues arise within the supply chain, whether related to quality, delivery performance, or cost, you will take ownership of resolving them while implementing lasting improvements.</p><br>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li>You develop and execute sourcing strategies.</li>
<li>You lead supplier negotiations and contract management.</li>
<li>You collaborate with Engineering on New Product Development.</li>
<li>You manage supplier performance and risk.</li>
<li>You optimize Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).</li>
</ul></div>
</div><div><div><p><b>Your Scope of Responsibility?</b></p>
<p>
You will manage a technical sourcing portfolio valued at approximately &euro;10&ndash;12.5 million, covering categories such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Metal components</li>
<li>Hydraulic systems</li>
<li>Pneumatic systems</li>
<li>Electromechanical components</li>
<li>Industrial assemblies and manufactured parts.</li>
</ul></div></div><div><div><h3 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>What We Offer?</b></h3>
<p>
We offer a role with real influence in an international high-tech organisation where your decisions make a visible impact on our products, customers and supply chain.
</p><ul><li>A one-year contract to start with.</li>
<li>Gross monthly salary between &euro;5.000 and &euro;7.000.</li>
<li>Company car.</li>
<li>27 + 13 free days per year (fulltime).</li>
<li>A strategic role within an international technical organization.</li>
<li>A high-impact position with significant responsibility and autonomy.</li>
<li>Collaboration within a professional and ambitious Procurement Team.</li>
<li>International supplier exposure and travel opportunities</li>
<li>Plenty of opportunities for personal and professional growth.</li>
</ul></div></div><div><div><h3 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>What You Bring?</b></h3>
<p>
You combine technical understanding with strong commercial awareness and thrive in complex international supply chain environments.</p>
<p>
You have experience in sourcing or procurement within a technical setting and know how to transform suppliers into genuine strategic partners. You think in terms of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) rather than individual transactions, and you are comfortable leading negotiations that truly matter.</p><br>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li>You have a Bachelor&rsquo;s or Master&rsquo;s degree in Supply Chain, Procurement, Engineering or Business.</li>
<li>You have 5 years of experience in strategic sourcing or procurement.</li>
<li>You have experience within a manufacturing or technical environment.</li>
<li>You have experience with supplier negotiations and contract management.</li>
<li>You are professional proficiency in English.</li>
</ul></div></div><div><div><h3 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>About MarFlex</b></h3>
<p>
MarFlex is an international niche player in maritime pumping systems. We design and deliver technical solutions that quite literally make a difference in fluid handling operations on board ships around the world.</p>

I am looking for people that run toward the hard conversations everyone else avoids.<br>
<br>
Key functions that you will be part of your day to day:<br>
<br>
a.Deploy and orchestrate AI agents across the full sourcing lifecycle &mdash; market intelligence, RFx authoring, response synthesis, redline drafting, should-cost modeling, and supplier scorecards. Treat AI as a co-worker, not a tool: define prompts, evaluation criteria, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints. Measure and continuously improve cycle time, accuracy, and decision quality.<br>
b.Own multi-year category strategies for assigned technology spend (SaaS, AI/ML platforms, data, cybersecurity, professional services with focus of Tech Labor). Build supplier ecosystems that out-innovate competitors, not just out-price them. Translate emerging tech (agentic AI, vertical SaaS, foundation model providers) into competitive sourcing plays.<br>
c.Lead high-stakes negotiations against incumbent suppliers, internal stakeholders with strong preferences, and entrenched contractual positions. Welcome conflict as the path to better outcomes. Stay calm, curious, and firm when others go quiet or defensive.<br>
d.Partner deeply with Technology, Finance, Legal, Cyber, Privacy, and Product to shape demand upstream &mdash; not just react to it downstream. Be in the room when the technical decision is being made, not after the contract lands on your desk.<br>
e.Build defensible should-cost models using AI-assisted research, public filings, benchmark data, and first-principles unit economics. Move negotiations from anchored vendor pricing to fact-based target pricing. Quantify and capture value beyond unit price &mdash; consumption efficiency, licensing right-sizing, exit costs, and avoided spend.<p></p><p><b>
