Projects involve a variety of manufacturing processes, including CNC machining, sheet-metal fabrication, and additive printing. Success hinges on both technical understanding and sound judgment to achieve cost, quality, and delivery goals.

• Manage a portfolio of advanced sourcing cases for orders that require detailed technical or pricing analysis and extended follow-up to get them placed with a production team
• Investigate root causes preventing supplier acceptance and develop targeted recovery strategies for stalled projects
• Review technical documentation and manufacturing drawings with our engineers, clients, or manufacturers, to validate feasibility and identify potential risks or clarifications needed
• Collaborate cross-functionally with design engineers, manual quoters, case managers, and sales to resolve technical or scheduling concerns
• Communicate directly with both suppliers and customers to clarify requirements, negotiate terms, and align expectations
• Maintain comprehensive case notes and documentation to ensure leadership visibility and continuity across active escalations
• Provide informal guidance and technical support to Sourcing Coordinators, serving as a resource for more complex or unfamiliar situations

• Clear and professional written and verbal communication skills for coordinating between multiple stakeholders
• Organized and self-driven, with the ability to prioritize and resolve longer-term or multi-stage sourcing cases
• Proficiency with Google Sheets and Docs (Salesforce experience a plus)

Qualifications:

• 3 + years of experience in sourcing, procurement, or supply-chain management, preferably within a manufacturing or industrial environment
• Demonstrated success resolving complex supplier or production challenges
• Ability to manage competing priorities and deliver high-quality results under time constraints
• Comfortable making independent decisions within defined pricing and policy parameters
