This is an opportunity to work with domestic and international suppliers, negotiate high-value agreements, monitor commodity markets, navigate tariffs and changing material costs, and make sourcing decisions that directly impact the business.

Develop strategies to mitigate cost increases, tariffs, supply disruptions, and long lead times

Analyze supplier quotes, market pricing, and total landed costs to identify opportunities for savings

Build and maintain solid strategic supplier relationships

Track supplier performance across cost, quality, delivery, and service

Partner with Engineering, Production, Planning, and Quality to ensure uninterrupted material supply

Maintain accurate purchasing, inventory, and cost information using ERP systems and advanced Excel

What we're looking for:

Proven experience owning commodities and developing sourcing strategies
