Top-to-Top Influence: 

This is a boardroom-level role. You will lead "Top-to-Top" relationships with C-suite stakeholders, moving beyond transactional supply to build multi-year, value-based Joint Business Plans (JBPs).
 

Operational Synergy:

You will orchestrate the
"One-Face-to-the-Customer" approach, aligning in house R&D, Supply Chain, and Manufacturing teams across multiple countries to ensure that when you promise excellence, we deliver it.

Complex Negotiation: From navigating FX volatility to complex MSA renewals, you will lead the high-stakes negotiations that define our regional growth.

Who You Are

You have 5+ years of senior commercial leadership within EMS or Contract Manufacturing, specifically serving Medical, Aerospace, or Defence markets.

You likely hold a degree in Business or Engineering (MBA preferred), but your real qualification is your track record of turning complex operational challenges into commercial wins.
