About the role
As Senior Manager, Global Strategic Sourcing, you will play an important role in shaping how Sobi builds a resilient, sustainable, and forward‑looking supply network.

* Combine a strategic and commercial mindset to evaluate and optimize sourcing decisions throughout the product lifecycle — from development to commercialization and life‑cycle management.
* Drive cross‑functional collaboration across Technical Operations, Legal, Tax, Finance, and other key stakeholders to negotiate and implement complex, high‑value global contracts.
* Design and maintain a strategic sourcing roadmap, ensuring alignment with Sobi’s business goals and long‑term vision.
* Contribute to due diligence efforts in business development projects, providing critical input on manufacturing and sourcing opportunities.
* Anticipate market trends and assess supplier capabilities to deliver data‑driven sourcing recommendations that strengthen Sobi’s competitive edge.
* Lead business cases for Technical Operations projects, from financial approval through to contract execution, and continuously enhance sourcing processes and procurement policies to drive efficiency and innovation.
