Job Description

As the Global Strategic Sourcing Director, you will collaboratively drive Sobi's global sourcing strategies to ensure efficient, high-quality, and cost-effective procurement across the organization. This is a critical role that requires strategic leadership, stakeholder collaboration, and the ability to adapt to a dynamic and competitive industry landscape.

The role reports to the Senior Director, Head of Strategic Sourcing & Direct Procurement and there are currently no direct reports to the role. As the team is nimble, trust and transparency are key.

  • Stay ahead of market trends, supplier capabilities, and economic changes to anticipate and manage challenges effectively.
  • Drive initiatives that foster innovation in procurement practices and align with Sobi's commitment to sustainable and ethical sourcing.

As a specialized biopharmaceutical company, we are dedicated to rare diseases. And we see this focus as a strength. By effectively turning our research into groundbreaking treatments, we help make medicine more accessible and open up more possibilities for patients and more opportunities for those caring for them. This has been our approach since day one, but we know we can't change the world of rare diseases on our own. Accomplishing this requires strong partnerships with patients, partners, and stakeholders across the entire value chain. Together, we define how our business can create solutions that serve the needs of those affected by rare diseases while facilitating sustainable growth.
