Global Supply Chain Manager, BL Analytical

__

About The Role

Are you a sourcing professional who can turn strategy into action? ABB's Analytical business line is looking for a Global Category Manager to own the mechanical category — covering mechanical components, castings, forgings, and plastics — and shape its global direction.

This is a senior individual contributor role with real ownership. You will consolidate the global strategy and supply base together with our factories, working across local, regional, and global teams to build a resilient, cost-optimized supply chain. The category is at a critical moment: tariffs and global market shifts are impacting cost and availability, and we need someone who can step in, build the plan, and deliver it.

What You'll Do

• Develop and implement the global strategy for the mechanical category for the Analytical Business Line, including supplier footprint, risk mitigation, and cost optimization
• Lead sourcing strategies using the CIPS process, ensuring the supply base has the capability and capacity to meet current and future business requirements
• Negotiate agreements with key suppliers, renew price lists, and manage terms and conditions
• Manage procurement planning, budgets, savings forecasts, and cost-out programs to reach financial targets
• Identify, investigate, and select suppliers with focus on quality, delivery, cost, and sustainability
• Provide ongoing contract management and oversight with suppliers
• Ensure all relevant parties understand and execute the strategy, and that category sourcing performance targets are achieved
  
  

What We're Looking For

To be successful in this role, you bring proven experience in strategic sourcing and category management, ideally within mechanical components, castings, forgings, or plastics. You have a track record of building global strategies and, just as importantly, executing them — turning plans into tangible results on the ground. You bring strong stakeholder management skills, able to align factories, local teams, and global leadership around a common direction, and you have solid negotiation and supplier relationship management experience. You bring a data-driven mindset to analysis and reporting, and you approach your work with a collaborative, humble spirit that fits our culture. If you're someone who can both craft the strategy and roll up your sleeves to deliver it, this role is for you.

Why ABB

• A global role with real impact in a critical category
• The opportunity to shape the supply base and strategy from day one
• A supportive, hands-on team that values execution over slides
