Strategic Sourcing Manager

Qualifications

• 5+ years in sourcing or procurement in a manufacturing environment.
• Direct experience buying flexible packaging substrates, films, laminates, paperboard, or comparable converting and printing materials.
• A documented track record of cost-out and extended payment terms, with numbers (spend, starting terms, result). You’ll be asked to walk us through one or two negotiations you led.
• Enough technical depth to judge material specifications, trial results, and yield data.
• Fluency in working-capital concepts (AP days, inventory days, cash conversion cycle) and comfort building analysis from an ERP.
• Tenacious negotiator who doesn’t accept a supplier’s first answer and pushes hard while keeping the relationship intact.
• Decisive and data-driven, direct in communication, and skeptical enough to ask why inventory is rising or terms are short.
• Results-oriented and comfortable in a fast-paced environment with an OKR and weekly-cadence operating style.
• Experience leading or directing buyers is an asset.
• NetSuite experience is an asset.
• Experience running an SQF or food-safety approved-supplier program is an asset.
• Experience in packaging, printing, or converting, including digital print or folding carton production, is an asset.
