Supply Chain Manager

Supply Chain Manager (EMEA)

Pinerolo, Italy | EMEA Scope

Build. Lead. Transform.

If you thrive in the details and the big picture, this role is for you.

Quickparts is hiring a Supply Chain Manager (EMEA) to ensure end-to-end operational excellence across the EMEA supply chain, balancing cost, quality, delivery, and capacity across a global supplier network. This is not a desk-only role. You will combine hands‑on execution and sourcing with supplier quality leadership—including on‑site audits, root‑cause analysis (RCA), corrective and preventive actions (CAPA), and continuous improvement—to deliver reliable outcomes at scale.

You will own day‑to‑day supply chain performance for the EMEA region across on‑time delivery (OTD), quality, and cost, and be the driving force behind a structured supplier base with clear sourcing strategies and volume allocation.

Why This Role Matters

Our Supply Chain Function Is Critical To Customer Trust, Operational Excellence, And Scalable Growth. As Supply Chain Manager (EMEA), You Will

• Lead end-to-end operational excellence across the EMEA supply chain
• Identify, qualify, onboard, and develop suppliers aligned with quality and delivery requirements
• Drive defect reduction through structured RCA and CAPA
• Execute commercial negotiations, cost‑down initiatives, and risk‑mitigation plans
• Serve as a key liaison between management and suppliers to align expectations and streamline processes

What You’ll Do

• Align priorities quickly with Operations, Sales, Engineering, and Customer Service to protect customer commitments
• Monitor capacity, lead times, and bottlenecks across internal and external supply sources to drive pragmatic improvements in planning, logistics, and supplier allocation
• Maintain a structured supplier base (EMEA/APAC) and conduct regular supplier performance reviews, traveling as needed for audits and relationship building
• Lead on‑site audits, process assessments, and tests on materials and finished goods to verify compliance with company standards
• Provide hands‑on technical guidance to suppliers across CNC machining, injection molding, and additive manufacturing
• Own supplier KPIs including OTD, quality (e.g., PPM, NCRs), cost competitiveness, responsiveness, and quote turnaround time
• Lead commercial negotiations and manage pricing, terms, and master agreements
• Publish accurate, data‑driven reports to support decision‑making and contribute to regional and global supply chain strategy
• Deliver on key success metrics including OTD, supplier PPM, quote turnaround time, cost‑down percentages, and CAPA effectiveness

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Engineering, Business, or related field
• 5+ years’ experience in supply chain, supplier management, or supplier quality within manufacturing (make‑to‑order, low‑to‑medium volume)
• Proven track record managing international suppliers (EMEA and ideally APAC) and outsourced manufacturing
• Strong understanding of cost drivers, lead times, and quality risks in outsourced manufacturing
• Demonstrated capability in supplier audits, nonconformance management, RCA/CAPA, and process stabilization
• Working knowledge of CNC machining, injection molding, and additive manufacturing
• Proficiency with modern collaboration and data tools (e.g., Microsoft 365/Teams, cloud platforms)
• Experience with ISO 9001 quality management systems and supplier audit practices; background in regulated industries (aerospace, medical devices, defense) is a plus
• Hands‑on, pragmatic, and execution‑focused with a structured, data‑driven approach
• Excellent negotiation and relationship management skills
• Resilient and decisive in fast‑paced, changing environments
• Fluent English required; Italian strongly preferred
• Willingness to travel domestically and internationally, sometimes on short notice, for supplier audits, development, and support
• We welcome applications from individuals belonging to protected categories (Law 68/99).

Why You’ll Love It Here

• Direct access to executive leadership
• Real ownership — your work shapes the company
• High‑growth, global organization
• Complex technical challenges
• Ability to leave a legacy system behind
• Strong culture of accountability and collaboration
