About the role

Senior Global Sourcing Manager responsible for architecting and executing end-to-end sourcing strategies, building a robust global supplier base, leading commercial negotiations, and de-risking the supply chain for defense technology programs.

Responsibilities

  • Own the Category Strategy: Develop and execute end-to-end sourcing strategies across your assigned category, balancing cost, quality, lead time, capacity, and supply security to meet aggressive program timelines.
  • Build the Supplier Base: Identify, qualify, and onboard best-in-class domestic and international suppliers. Own the relationship through QBRs, scorecards, capacity planning, and continuous performance management.
  • Lead Commercial Negotiations: Structure and negotiate complex supplier agreements — MSAs, SOWs, LTAs, pricing agreements, and NRE terms — to lock in favorable commercial terms and de-risk supply.
  • Partner Cross-Functionally: Embed with Engineering, Quality, and Manufacturing during NPI to align design intent with supplier capability, drive design-to-cost, and get parts qualified and flowing on schedule.
  • De-Risk the Supply Chain: Track market dynamics, geopolitics, and upstream constraints. Identify single points of failure and stand up dual-source, buffer, or vertical-integration strategies before they become production stoppages.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, or a related field, with 10+ years in global sourcing, strategic procurement, or supplier management inside a high-tech or regulated manufacturing environment.
  • Working command of commercial contract law, should-cost modeling, and a track record of closing high-value, technically complex agreements.
  • Demonstrated success managing a global supplier base, running audits, and scaling supply from prototype through high-rate production.
  • Comfortable reading engineering drawings and specs, and translating cleanly between engineers and supplier commercial/technical counterparts.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
