Category strategy and sourcing • Develop and execute global category and site sourcing strategies for electricity, natural gas/steam, hydrogen, atmospheric and specialty industrial gases, balancing cost, quality, reliability, working capital, and carbon intensity. • Direct RFx activities, supplier evaluations, reverse auctions, and sourcing events in compliance with procurement policy and governance. Markets, contracts, and risk • Structure, negotiate, and manage power and gas supply agreements, including utility tariffs, physical and virtual power purchase agreements (PPAs/VPPAs), green tariffs, interruptible and demand-response products, and multi-year tonnage-gas contracts (take-or-pay, facility fees, purity and uptime SLAs). • Lead commodity price-risk management in partnership with Finance and Treasury: hedging strategy, exposure reporting, mark-to-market visibility, and compliance with corporate risk policy. • Analyze spend, load profiles, supplier performance, forward curves, basis risk, and external market intelligence to support decisions and mitigate supply and price risk. • Identify potential supply, regulatory, geopolitical, and weather-related risks and develop proactive mitigation plans to protect continuity of plant operations. • Manage contract lifecycle activities including implementation, compliance reviews, renewals, and supplier performance monitoring. Decarbonization, operations interface, and safety • Source renewable and lower-carbon energy instruments (PPAs, RECs, guarantees of origin, I-RECs, and emerging green-hydrogen pathways) consistent with GHG Protocol Scope 2 accounting and Chemours science-based targets. • Partner with Operations, the Global Energy Efficiency Team, EHS, and Sustainability on load forecasting, energy-efficiency projects, on-site generation or electrolysis concepts, and Scope 1/2 reduction initiatives. • Build and maintain strategic supplier partnerships and oversee Supplier Relationship Management (SRM), including capability, risk, compliance, and supplier ESG performance (e.g., EcoVadis or equivalent). • Embed process-safety, transportation, and Responsible Care requirements into energy and industrial-gas contracts and supplier qualification. • Evaluate make-versus-buy options, including on-site air separation, pipeline or over-the-fence supply, merchant bulk/liquid, packaged gases, and supplier-owned plants on Chemours sites. • Identify and execute opportunities for cost reduction, cost avoidance, total cost of ownership (TCO) improvement, and working-capital optimization. The following is required for this role: • Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain, Engineering, Energy, Finance, Economics, or a related field. • 10+ years of strategic procurement or commercial energy/gas experience, with a substantial portion in energy commodities and/or industrial gases (not solely adjacent chemical or packaging categories), including strategic sourcing and supplier management. • 3+ years leading and developing procurement, sourcing, or supply-chain professionals. • Demonstrated experience procuring electricity and/or natural gas in regulated and deregulated markets, including tariff analysis and work in at least one major ISO/RTO (e.g., PJM) or equivalent international market. • Hands-on negotiation of power purchase agreements and/or long-term industrial-gas (tonnage) supply agreements. • Working knowledge of industrial-gas production and logistics: air separation, pipeline and bulk-liquid supply, on-site generation economics, and commercial terms used by major industrial-gas suppliers. • Ability to interpret plant load data, utility invoices, and gas specifications and to work directly with site engineers and energy managers. • Proficiency with ERP and Source-to-Pay (S2P) platforms such as SAP Ariba, Coupa, GEP, or similar systems, including RFx and e-sourcing tools. • Demonstrated expertise in contract negotiations, supplier relationship management, financial and market analysis, commodity or supply-risk management, and stakeholder engagement, supported by strong communication and problem-solving skills. • Willingness to travel approximately 15-25% to U.S. and international manufacturing sites. The following is preferred for this role: • MBA or professional certifications such as CPSM, CIPS, CPP, Certified Energy Manager (CEM), or energy-risk credentials (e.g., GARP Energy Risk Professional). • Six Sigma Green Belt or higher. • Experience supporting global procurement organizations and large-scale transformation initiatives. • Direct exposure to hydrogen (grey, blue, or green), steam, combined heat and power, or supplier-owned on-site generation contracting. • Familiarity with GHG Protocol Scope 2 (location- and market-based methods), SBTi, carbon-instrument integrity (additionality, vintage, residual mix), and supplier ESG programs such as EcoVadis. • Experience with energy or commodity analytics (forward curves, basis, load-shape modeling) and tools beyond S2P, such as energy-management or risk systems. • Multi-country contracting experience in Europe, Asia, and/or Latin America; additional language capability is an advantage. • Process-safety, PSM, or chemical-manufacturing plant experience; working knowledge of FERC/state utility regulation and industrial-gas transportation requirements.
