• Collaborate with Engineering, Operations, and Product Development teams to support supplier selection, product launches, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Utilize data analysis and forecasting tools to identify supply chain trends, capacity concerns, and long-term sourcing opportunities.
• Lead supplier negotiations, commercial discussions, and strategic initiatives aimed at improving quality, service levels, and total cost of ownership.
• Conduct supplier assessments and root cause analyses to proactively address operational challenges and develop sustainable solutions.
• Travel periodically to supplier facilities in Mexico to strengthen supplier partnerships and support ongoing sourcing initiatives.

Qualifications

• 5–7+ years of experience in strategic sourcing, procurement, supply chain management, or a related field.
• Bilingual in English and Spanish required.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to translate data into actionable business recommendations.
