Negotiate effectively to secure best‑in‑class pricing and strong contracts (including Master Service Agreements (MSAs) and Statements of Work (SOWs)) in collaboration with Legal.
• Manage supplier performance by conducting business reviews, handling escalations, monitoring operational KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) and driving continuous improvement to meet Schneider Electric objectives.
