- Agir comme point de contact principal pour les partenaires externes, en supervisant la performance, la communication, la résolution des enjeux et les évaluations de qualité;
- Soutenir l’évaluation et le sourcing des fournisseurs en appliquant les normes de l’industrie, en gérant les contrats (NDA, MNDA, MSA, SOW, renouvellements) et en s’appuyant sur la recherche de marché et les analyses stratégiques.

Ce que nous recherchons :

- Diplôme de baccalauréat (1er cycle – BAC) avec un minimum de 5 ans d’expérience en approvisionnement, sourcing ou gestion de fournisseurs IT;
