Category Manager - Facility Management

Introduction to the job

The U.S. Indirect Procurement team plays a critical role in enabling ASML's growth by driving strategic sourcing and managing key supplier partnerships across all indirect spend categories.

As a Category Manager for Facility Management, you will lead procurement strategies across two primary areas: construction and integrated facility management (IFM), supporting capital projects and long-term facility services.

While construction and IFM represent the core focus of this role, you will also support adjacent facility-related categories as needed, as part of a broader, integrated category approach.

This role sits at the center of ASML's U.S. expansion. While the core focus is supporting the Wilton, CT site, this role has increasing visibility and influence across ASML's broader U.S. footprint (17 sites), in close partnership with Corporate Real Estate (CRE) and global teams.

In this role, you will drive commercial value, standardize sourcing strategies, mitigate risk, ensure compliance, and build strong supplier partnerships across these categories.

• 8+ years of procurement experience, including construction and/or facility management categories
