TLDR

Build end-to-end procurement processes for a next-gen robotics platform, shaping global supplier networks from prototype to production.

ANYbotics is a fast-growing tech company dedicated to shaping the future of mobile robotics across multiple industries. Join our highly talented and motivated team of more than 200 people and work on cutting-edge robot technology. The Opportunity At ANYbotics, we build autonomous, end-to-end robotic solutions that automate routine industrial inspections in complex and hazardous environments. As a Senior Procurement Specialist, you will play a pivotal, high-ownership role in shaping the supply chain foundation for our next-generation robotics platform. Operating at the intersection of strategic sourcing and industrialization, you will drive critical procurement activities from early prototype phases straight through to full production ramp-up. You won't just be managing transactional purchase orders—you will build scalable procurement processes from scratch, secure high-performing global supplier networks, and directly influence the cost, quality, and delivery of cutting-edge robotic hardware.   The Market & Our Technology Industrial facilities present some of the world's most severe operating conditions. Our autonomous quadrupedal platforms navigate multi-story plants, stairs, and hazardous areas—delivering continuous operational insight without human risk. Bringing a next-generation, high-complexity mechatronic product like ANYmal from concept to serial production demands a resilient, agile, and cost-effective supply chain. Sourcing high-precision mechanical parts, advanced electronics, and specialized electromechanical systems requires a strategic procurement leader who thrives in fast-paced hardware environments. Your Impact

  • Establish and execute the end-to-end procurement strategy for the new ANYmal project across both prototype and production phases

  • Secure critical suppliers and manage complex global sourcing networks across Europe and Asia

  • Identify, assess, and proactively mitigate single-source and supply chain risks for high-criticality components

  • Drive supplier qualification, capacity planning, and onboarding in close alignment with industrialization roadmaps

  • Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Operations, Quality, and Supply Chain teams to ensure seamless NPI transition

    • Your Profile

  • 10+ years of hands-on experience in procurement, strategic sourcing, and supplier management within a complex industrial or hardware environment (robotics, automotive, aerospace, electronics, or industrial automation)

  • Proven track record of managing procurement activities throughout the entire product lifecycle—from early-stage NPI prototypes to serial production ramp-up

  • Deep expertise in sourcing custom mechanical, electrical, and complex electromechanical components

  • Strong mastery of strategic sourcing, contract negotiations, supplier agreements, and long-term commercial terms

  • Demonstrated ability to build supplier networks and procurement processes from the ground up in fast-growing or dynamic hardware organizations

  • Experience working effectively with international supplier bases, particularly across Europe and Asia

  • Collaborative approach with strong experience influencing and partnering with cross-functional Engineering, Quality, and Operations teams

  • Business fluency in English

    • Bonus Points

  • Deep domain knowledge in sourcing specialized robotic hardware such as electronics, PCBAs, high-density batteries, motors, or drives

  • Fluency in German for local supplier communication

  • Background in low-to-medium volume, high-complexity hardware manufacturing environments

    • We offer you a very exciting and dynamic work environment, the opportunity to become part of a fast-growing company and an ambitious team that is on a mission to change the industrial inspection market, a chance to leverage your experience and bring in your own ideas, a fair market salary, an attractive employee stock ownership plan, and a job in the city of Zurich.
