  • Identify and pursue cost-saving opportunities through strategic sourcing initiatives, competitive bidding, and negotiation.

  • Analyze total cost of ownership (TCO) to evaluate sourcing options and make informed decisions.
  • Drive value creation by optimizing supplier performance, improving efficiency, and reducing waste across the supply chain.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration:

  • Partner with internal stakeholders, including Go-to-market (GTM), operations, finance, and engineering, to understand their needs and align sourcing strategies with business requirements.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to manage sourcing projects, ensure timely delivery of goods and services, and resolve any supply chain issues.
  • Communicate sourcing plans, activities, and results to key stakeholders, providing regular updates and reports.

  • Risk Management:

  • Identify and mitigate potential risks in the supply chain, including supplier financial instability, single-source dependencies, and geopolitical factors.

  • Develop and implement risk mitigation strategies to ensure continuity of supply and minimize disruptions.
  • Monitor supplier compliance with quality, environmental, and social responsibility standards.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in strategic sourcing, procurement, or supply chain management or a related field.
  • Proven track record of developing and executing successful sourcing strategies that have resulted in cost savings and value creation.

  • Proficiency in sourcing software, ERP systems, and data analysis tools.
  • Excellent communication, interpersonal, and presentation skills.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
