Responsibilities
- Execute category strategy. You’ll manage day-to-day sourcing for your assigned areas, using market data and supplier intelligence to flag risks and identify pricing shifts before they become problems.
- Run the RFx process. From drafting documents to normalizing responses, you’ll lead RFP and RFQ processes and build the comparison analyses our leadership needs to make informed award decisions.
- Manage supplier relationships. You’ll be the main point of contact for our suppliers, managing everything from POs and lead times to performance reviews and scorecards.
- Collaborate across the team. You’ll work closely with Operations, Finance and Engineering to track budgets, provide supplier readiness updates for new products and resolve technical questions.
- Support high-stakes negotiations. You’ll handle lower-complexity commercial terms independently while providing the data and benchmarks needed for our Sourcing Leads to win in larger negotiations.
Requirements
- You have four to six years of experience in sourcing, procurement or supply chain, with a background in RFx and supplier lifecycle management.
- You’re comfortable with spend analysis, cost comparisons and TCO basics to help drive recommendations.
- You can adjust your style to talk to anyone—from product engineers to floor staff—and can present data clearly to senior stakeholders.
- You Thrive on the Front Lines, pitching in where needed and collaborating across departments to keep our supply chain moving.
- You have a solid grasp of ERP and PLM systems and are a pro in Excel or Google Sheets.
Nice to Have
- Experience in consumer electronics, hardware or tech-adjacent manufacturing is a plus.
- Familiarity with packaging or accessories (like print, labels or cables) is a bonus.
