• Relationship management: Serve as the primary point of contact for key suppliers, with regular business reviews, executive alignment, and clear escalation paths.
• Commercial negotiation: Work alongside internal legal counsel, negotiate pricing and secure production slots and capacity reservations for long lead-time items like transformers and switchgear; support project development in finalizing payment terms, warranties, and frame or volume agreements.
• Quote support: Partner with sales and project development to get timely, competitive, technically compliant supplier quotes for RFPs, RFIs, and bid packages.
