Strategic Sourcing Program Lead NPI

Shape the Future of Product Launch Sourcing

Are you the go-to person for sourcing when things are complex, time-sensitive, and mission-critical? Do you thrive at the front end of New Product Introduction (NPI), where BOMs are long, timelines are tight, and your sourcing decisions directly affect what gets built and when?

If you're tired of transactional roles and want true ownership over strategic sourcing in a high-visibility, customer-facing environment, this may be your next big opportunity.

• Own supplier identification, onboarding, and contract negotiation
• Develop sourcing roadmaps and risk assessments early in the launch process
• Collaborate with engineering, quality, and project management to align sourcing with design and delivery
• Act as the face of sourcing to external customers and internal executives
• Help build the sourcing playbookprocesses, KPIs, and supplier engagement strategy

What Makes This Different :

This isn't a desk job. It's a cross-functional leadership role where you'll shape strategy and solve problems in real time. You'll be part of an elite NPI team that's known internally for :

Who We're Looking For :

A results-driven professional who sees both the big picture and the fine print. Someone who can source strategically, act urgently, and influence cross-functionally with :
