Senior Sourcing Manager - Heating, Water & Sanitary

Are you ready for a challenge where you take charge of the sourcing strategy of an international sourcing and services partner, in the Heating, Water, and Sanitary category? Then give your career a boost as Senior Sourcing Manager, HWS at Solar

About the position
As the Senior Sourcing Manager, HWS, you are responsible for executing the sourcing strategy within the category. You will act as the trader representing and supporting the supplier negotiations. Your objective is to obtain the best agreements and purchasing terms and conditions for Solar. In general, you also support the development of sourcing, as a discipline, within the entire category.

Sourcing is a balancing act. It is the process of requesting quotes for new products, planning and carrying out supplier negotiations, maintaining and processing supplier information in our procurement software. It is about challenging lead times, payment terms, minimum order quantities, etc. In other words, pretty much everything related to profitability. Maintaining existing and building new relations with our vendors is also of great importance.

Other responsibilities will include:

  • Acting as the vendor agreement responsible in our procurement systems
  • Supporting the category strategy with a specific sourcing strategy
  • Focusing on and being responsible for COGS (Cost of Goods Sold)
  • Vendor scouting
  • Tenders
  • Cross stocking (intercompany trading)

What do we offer?
You will be a part of a very ambitious team of Sourcing Managers that cultivates the feeling of being part of a TEAM. We do that by sharing best practices and helping each other out whenever necessary. You will have a great workplace in a dynamic and challenging market, where you benefit from the size of an international organization. There is room for your own initiatives. We believe in the knowledge and experience of our employees and dare to be innovative to seize opportunities. On top of that, we offer an informal working environment, powered by a strong and professional yes-we-can-culture.

We are an international team, and your workplace can be either in Alkmaar (The Netherlands), Vejen/Århus/Brøndby (Denmark), Göteborg (Sweden), or Gardermoen (Norway). You will travel abroad regularly to share your expertise and collaborate on international projects.

You report directly to the Group Sourcing Director.

Your profile
We are looking for a strong, decisive, and creative sourcing profile who harvests energy from negotiating daily. Experience from previous jobs within the field of Heating, Water, and Sanitary is a plus. You must be able to perform well both in groups and individually.

Furthermore, we are looking for:

  • Solid experience within the field of supply chain and sourcing
  • Affinity with technical products and willingness to travel occasionally
  • Experience with tactical strategic purchasing processes
  • Experience working within an international and cross-functional team

Are you curious?
Please feel free to contact Group Sourcing Director, Rasmus Hebsgård Vemmelund on +45 29 69 80 92 to learn more about the position and the team.

Apply no later than September 13th
Does this sound like an exciting career opportunity for you? We would like the position filled as soon as possible, which is why interviews will be held on an ongoing basis. Apply as soon as possible and preferably already today. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
