You have excellent negotiation skills while maintaining crucial and unique supplier relations. You are an excellent team player. You will have to collaborate with technical and non-technical people, both internally and externally. You have a good technical understanding and can draft technical specs, and have know-how about the supply chain. Basic knowledge of additive manufacturing (AM) and electronics is a big plus. You have a good understanding of SQA, as well as an affinity with MDR/ISO13485. You have excellent communication skills in Dutch and English. You are willing to travel sporadically (mostly in the EU). You have experience, preferably in a similar role. However, we are open to receiving a junior profile if you can combine strong commercial skills (e.g., Sales) with a quick and accurate technical understanding (relevant education). You build and maintain effective and productive relationships with key stakeholders and suppliers — balancing quality, cost, and time requirements. You ensure that a professional and consistent approach is taken in relation to all supplier relationships, in line with international standards and internal requirements. You ensure a continuous supply of required goods and materials and communicate any supply problems that may pose a risk or have an impact on business operations. Working with specs and requirements is crucial as we produce medical devices. This means our purchasing suppliers must be SOx, ISO1385, and MDR compliant (supplier quality assurance). You report to and collaborate closely with the Operations Manager.
