Supplier Performance Management-Hydraulic Systems & Proprietary Parts

Insight Global is looking for a Supplier Performance Management-Hydraulic Systems & Proprietary Parts (SPM-HSPP) individual. This isn’t a part purchasing role. The manager prefers someone with buyer experience but also understanding the part and the process of what they are buying. This role is about looking after the long term vision and support of a particular supplier and mitigating future risks to secure parts for the company. The SPM would be considered the project lead for a group of suppliers (typically 10-12). They would be looking into any issues that could arise from 12+ months with a supplier, in particular looking after maturity assessments, supplier risks, business continuity plans/audits, rate readiness/load capacity risks. The manager typically likes candidates who have experience being onsite at vendors, aerospace/machine shop experience. There is a lot of travel mostly in North America and the odd trip to Europe. The Supplier Performance Management role is a strategic position and the mindset of forward, analytical and critical thinking is a necessity. A robust and healthy supply base is paramount to our continued and future success. As such, this is exciting role will allow you to utilize your vendor management experience and skill set to propel us forward, meet our objectives/goals and successfully fulfill our customers’ requirements.
