Role Summary

This role strengthens the commercial backbone of the Finance team. The person brings hands-on sourcing and procurement experience but works directly under Finance to manage vendor commercials, validate cost structures, maintain documentation, and keep every transaction compliant, trackable, and value-driven. The job is part numbers, part negotiation, part governance.
