You are expected to be a strong integrator across all the supply chain functions, so we face up as one and give clear steer and direction to the SC community that supports the project What\xe2\x80\x99s the role?

• Create, Mature & Deliver Opportunities: Own and improve the end-to-end category supply chain, taking Shell\xe2\x80\x99s demand, drivers, operating model, global/regional strategies and market developments into account and then translating them into game-changing value creation opportunities that are reflected in Business Plans, Quarterly Latest Estimates (LE)\xe2\x80\x99s and our opportunity funnel. You will also need to be relentless in eliminating waste and standardization so that we become a faster, leaner more effective organization. To do this successfully, you will need to understand the full supply chain, the interdependencies, have a strong pulse of markets/supplier and go beyond the usual scope of just tendering.
• Manage Relationships for Value: Build & nurture collaborative relationships to deliver value with (i) Internal \xe2\x80\x93 Supply chain business partners; (ii) External \xe2\x80\x93 PETRONAS Category Management; (iii) External \xe2\x80\x93 Suppliers

Special Challenges:

• The PoP space is a broad and diverse space which will require you to manage buying, engineered and/or fabricated packages and service contracts. It is unlike many other categories which are more specialized and hence, your ability to manage this diversity is important.
• Materials on Time (MoT) is a continuing challenge in the PoP space. It requires significant effort today to ensure demand is matured on time, procurement is on time and delivery is on time. One key expectation of the successful candidate is to (i) Diagnose the root cause(s) of MoT underperformance; (ii) Develop and implement solutions to raise the MoT performance; and (iii) Do this in a way that requires minimal effort/resources and is sustainable.
• You must be largely independent in your ability to deliver which means independently (i) Managing external stakeholders; (ii) Managing senior internal stakeholders (i.e PoP Head of Department); (iii) Holding crucial conversations and resolving disputes with major international and local contractors. This means being comfortable in speaking up, managing conflict, and taking a leading role in issues. You will also be someone who has good judgement when to elevate for steer/support in a space where many things are happening at a time.
• Your ability to prioritize will also be crucial given the breadth of PoP so that the right outcomes are delivered at the right time. There will be break-ins and you will be expected to determine how best to manage them and elevate for support as needed.
• You will have to drive discipline execution for Capital Projects to aggressively pursue Competitive Lifecycle Costs, Competitive & Reliable Delivery Time and Reduced Resource Intensity to meet the project ambitions.

• Able and comfortable in delivering without authority through natural teams.
• Experience in strategy development, sourcing, contract management, dispute resolution, negotiations, and supplier relationship management.
