This position requires a combination of skills in strategic thinking, leadership, self-initiative, professional communication, financial/business analysis, and is greatly aided by a background in engineering or technology.

In this position you will manage assigned suppliers as part of an overall commodity/category (supply base) to ensure ASML is supported by world-class suppliers delivering on time, at spec, good quality and at  competitive total cost. 

You will be expected to actively pursue continuous improvement with current suppliers and potential suppliers and continually explore opportunities arising from process and product improvements, new technology, alternative materials and suppliers, enhancements in supply chain activities, cost reduction programs and any other opportunities that may present a competitive advantage.

● Bachelor's degree in business administration, Supply Chain, Logistics Management, Engineering or related field is required or equivalent experience a minimum of 10 years of progressive experience in supplier management in a high-tech, international ma-nufacturing environment.

● A deep understanding of one or more technology-related supply chains is strongly preferred. Due to the strategic nature of the commodities/categories involved, a proven track record in developing strong business relationships with key suppliers and experience in developing and executing long term agreements is required.

● Experience with complex negotiations, problem solving, strategic planning and financial analysis are essential.

● Ability to travel domestically and internationally is required.

● Knowledge of continuous improvement techniques is a big plus and a strong familiarity with technology manufacturing is highly preferred.
