  • Lead QBRs and corrective‑action cycles to improve performance and reduce operational risk
  • Partner with Data & Analytics teams to create visibility into cost drivers, availability trends, inventory accuracy, and adoption metrics
  • Use data to inform negotiation strategy, supplier segmentation, and category roadmap decisions
  • Support the regional rollout of CE Spares processes, including catalog enablement, approved‑parts governance, data quality, BOM traceability, and readiness checks for new sites

  • Drive continuous improvement by identifying inefficiencies in supplier onboarding, contracting, and inventory workflows
  • Support pilot efforts, test new operating models, validate assumptions, and scale proven practices across EMEA
  • Ensure sites have the correct CE Spares contracts, suppliers, and delivery models in place before operational turnover

  • Experience supporting or leading new‑program buildouts, such as new category creation, supplier‑base consolidation, pilot programs, or new‑site readiness initiatives
  • Familiarity with BOM structures and asset‑based procurement, particularly how equipment generations, preventive/corrective maintenance needs, and lifecycle requirements translate to spare‑parts strategy
  • Proficiency with procurement and planning systems such as Ariba, SAP/IBP, Icertis, CMMS platforms, or similar enterprise tools
  • Ability to partner with technical teams to improve data quality and catalog accuracy
