- Negotiate commercial agreements and pricing structures.
- Visit customer and supplier sites regularly.
- Work closely with operational teams regarding material specifications and volumes.
- Build a sustainable long-term supply pipeline.

You should be:
- Commercially driven
- Relationship-focused
- Self-sufficient and proactive
