This role is ideal for someone who enjoys turning complexity into clarity. You will identify inefficiencies, eliminate waste, and strengthen execution across sourcing, planning, logistics, and supplier performance. To stay grounded in real-world execution, you will also perform select Technical Procurement Specialist activities as needed, ensuring improvements are practical, scalable, and aligned with how work actually gets done.

The compensation range for this position is $97,564.90  to $149275.15 annually depending on skill level. The compensation package may also include incentive compensation opportunities in the form of discretionary annual bonus. Atlas Copco provides industry-leading benefits including healthcare, 401K savings plan, company holidays, vacation, sick time, parental leave, tuition assistance, referral bonus and an employee assistance program. Eligibility requirements apply.

1. Ownership of supply chain process design and improvement across sourcing, planning, inventory, logistics, and supplier management

2. Identification and elimination of inefficiencies, constraints, and failure points that slow execution or increase cost

3. Development and implementation of solutions that improve speed, reliability, scalability, and total cost of ownership

4. Design and deployment of standard work, process documentation, and governance to ensure consistent execution
