That means leading supplier selection, running contract negotiations, and turning key suppliers into long-term partners. From there, it's about making those partnerships deliver. You'll drive cost, quality, supply security, and resilience across your segment, and act as the main commercial contact for your suppliers. You'll also keep things safe and compliant, making sure IP, cybersecurity, and regulatory requirements are covered before any commitment is made. What you bring 7+ years in procurement, with proven experience sourcing software A background in Vision & Perception or related domains (hardware sourcing such as sensors/radar is a strong plus) Strong negotiation skills and a sharp commercial mindset A degree in Business, Engineering, Procurement, or similar Why Coretura?
