The events will be supporting actual customer/stock orders and therefore time is of the essence.\nThe overall focus of the role is to manage the complete end-to-end RFQ/RFP process and to obtain the best delivery conditions possible. For new parts, this is done by selecting the most appropriate supplier for the intended scope based on safety, quality, delivery & cost parameters and aligned with the global category strategy. For existing parts that require requoting, this is done through multi-round negotiations with the supplier to obtain the best possible price. Typically lead time will have already been pre-defined.\nResponsibilities & Requirements:\nExecute sourcing events on behalf of the BU/sites, with cost, quality and lead time being the primary objectives\nSourcing events are to be processed within the Indigo Sourcing tool. Indigo Sourcing is to be used for all MRP demand signal items \nThe Sourcing specialist should follow the guidance and priorities provided by Indigo Sourcing as it pertains to items such as GMS, OSMI alternatives and Raving Fan orders\nItems in the “Past Due” and “In Compression” tabs should also be given priority as they will inherently be late to need by and will require expediting effort further down the process\nWherever possible, the Sourcing Specialist should use the Purchase Requisition Aggregation (bundling) functionality to drive spend consolidation and cost optimisation. This functionality may also be required in some cases to meet a minimum supplier $ threshold.\nSupplier selection/deselection decisions should be made prioritizing suppliers that are strategic and leverage segmentation wherever possible\nThe Sourcing Specialist must ensure that all required latest revision documentation is attached to the event. This includes drawings, material, quality and process specifications, ITP’s, etc originating from approved sources.\nInitial quotes received from suppliers should not be accepted as final price. Prices must be negotiated aggressively through multi-round bidding to support margin expansion. Lead time, OTD and capacity should also be taken into consideration\nOnce the final price has been negotiated, the Purchase Order should be released immediately after within the ERP\nOperate in full compliance with all Flowserve Policies & Procedures as applicable to the role.\nCost Reduction \nSourcing Guide Compliance\nCommercial Terms Compliance\nPurchase Requisitions Past Due\nHSE Metrics (as set and assigned by local office requirements)\nPreferred Experience / Skills:\n3+ years of experience in Supply Chain \n1+ years of sourcing experience \nStrong interpersonal relationship management \nEvidenced understanding of both commercial and technical areas of supply chain \nVery strong commercial acumen and negotiation skills \nProficiency in Project Management \nKnowledge of supply base in the region for the assigned categories \nUnderstanding of market dynamics \nStrong analytical skills including collecting, analyzing and interpreting data \nCertified Supply Chain Professional \nGeographically mobile for development opportunities \nAbility to influence, communicate, and collaborate at all organizational levels \nExpertise with MS Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint \nKnowledge of applicable ERPs and associated tools i.e. SAP and sourcing tools like Ariba","description_format":"text","description_chars":3460,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Industrial Machinery","Maintenance, Repair & Operations (MRO)"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-28T13:31:32Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":26,"reasons":["conf:4","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/flowserve-sourcing-specialist","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/flowserve-sourcing-specialist.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-31T15:21:35Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":23973,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1808291},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1808291"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fflowserve-sourcing-specialist"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fflowserve-sourcing-specialist"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fflowserve-sourcing-specialist"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/flowserve-sourcing-specialist\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fflowserve-sourcing-specialist"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3398724}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"flowserve.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3398724},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
