Head of Procurement & Sourcing (m/w) LHH Recruitment Solutions

Our client, an international industrial group operating in a regulated environment, is entering a phase of transformation and evolution of its European footprint. With several industrial sites worldwide, the company combines a pragmatic industrial culture with increasing challenges related to structuring and overall performance.

In this context, the group is seeking a Head of Global Sourcing to lead and structure its purchasing and sourcing function at an international level.

The role involves defining and deploying the global sourcing strategy, securing supply chains in a multi-site environment, managing both direct and indirect procurement, and actively contributing to value creation and cost control. The Head of Global Sourcing also plays a key role in integration and harmonisation phases, working closely with Quality, Regulatory Affairs, R&D, Operations, Supply Chain and Finance teams, particularly in the context of product development, industrialisation and the evolution of the group's scope.

You hold a higher education degree in engineering or business and have at least fifteen years of experience in procurement or sourcing roles within international industrial environments. You have managed critical direct spend at a global level, led multi-site organisations, and evolved in contexts of transformation, structuring or integration. You demonstrate a pragmatic, results-driven approach, strong cross-functional collaboration skills, and recognised leadership in complex environments.

Fluency in English is essential; any additional language is a plus.

The position requires frequent international travel and a solid on-site presence, with the role anchored at one of the company's European industrial sites.
