sourcing manager

MARFLEX

<div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><h3 class="jobSectionHeader">Why This Role?</h3>

Some procurement roles are all about price. This one isn&rsquo;t.

As Sourcing Manager at Marflex, you&rsquo;ll shape the international supply chain behind high-tech maritime pumping systems used around the world.

From strategic sourcing and supplier development to engineering collaboration, you&rsquo;ll make decisions that directly impact quality, innovation, and business performance.

The Role

As a Sourcing Manager, you ensure that our supply chain not only functions effectively but continuously improves.

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.

You don&rsquo;t just build relationships with suppliers, you develop a network that strengthens our entire organisation.

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.

What Drives You?

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.

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.</div> 

</div><div><div><h3 class="jobSectionHeader">What You&rsquo;ll Do (In Brief)</h3>

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.

You will ensure that our suppliers can meet today&rsquo;s requirements while also being prepared for the products and challenges of tomorrow.

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. 

<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>Your Scope of Responsibility?

You will manage a technical sourcing portfolio valued at approximately &euro;10&ndash;12.5 million, covering categories such as:
<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">What We Offer?</h3>

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.
<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">What You Bring?</h3>

You combine technical understanding with strong commercial awareness and thrive in complex international supply chain environments.

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. 

<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">About MarFlex</h3>
