Ambition Hiring! Full Time Procurement Manager - Automotive in Selangor - Ricebowl

Procurement Manager | Automotive Manufacturing

If you're a procurement professional with a sharp eye for cost opportunity and a genuine talent for building supplier partnerships, this could be your next move. Our client, a well-regarded organisation in the automotive components sector, is looking for an experienced Procurement Manager to join their team on a permanent basis.

Why Apply?

This is more than a procurement role - it's a chance to lead strategy, drive real cost impact, and play a central part in a complex, fast-moving supply chain. You'll have the autonomy to shape sourcing decisions, advance localisation agendas, and protect the business from supply risk. If you want a role with genuine commercial weight and visibility, this is it.

The Role

Here's where your expertise will make a real difference:

• Oversee the full supplier lifecycle - from selection and evaluation through to contract negotiation and ongoing performance management
• Design and implement sourcing strategies that reduce supply dependency and strengthen chain resilience
• Lead cost optimisation initiatives and support localisation programmes to grow regional supplier contribution
• Ensure all procurement activity remains compliant with internal policies, ESG commitments, and applicable regulations
• Anticipate and manage supply chain risks, with robust contingency planning to keep production on track
• Coordinate material readiness for new model introductions, working hand-in-hand with Engineering and Quality teams
• Monitor and elevate supplier performance through structured audits, KPI reviews, and joint improvement initiatives

What We're Looking For

Here's the profile we have in mind:

• A degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, Business Administration, or a related discipline
• A minimum of 5 years' procurement experience gained within the automotive or manufacturing sector
• A confident negotiator with strong commercial instincts and well-developed stakeholder management skills
• Financially literate, with a structured and project-driven approach to delivery
• A proven background in cost management, risk mitigation, and supplier performance improvement

This is your opportunity to step into a high-impact procurement role where your contribution will truly be felt. Apply now and take the next step in your career.
