SUPPLIER DEVELOPMENT MANAGER — ASDI | KENT, WA

If you’re the person who can walk into a supplier’s facility, quickly assess what’s broken, and leave with a credible plan to fix it — this role was built for you. You’ll own ASDI’s supplier base from qualification to performance, with direct influence over sourcing strategy, commercial negotiations, and long‑term supply chain resilience. ASDI is a Industrial Gas Systems manufacturer based in Kent, WA — the kind of company where your decisions show up on the production floor. What You’ll Do Lead strategic sourcing for new and existing commodities — driving RFQs, cost analysis, negotiations, and supplier selection from start to finish. Qualify and onboard new suppliers to support new product lines and capacity expansion, including capability assessments, audits, and business reviews. Own supplier performance through scorecards, corrective actions, and improvement plans covering delivery, quality, cost, and responsiveness. Maintain the Approved Vendor List in compliance with ISO 9001 requirements and lead recovery efforts with under‑performing legacy suppliers. Partner with Engineering, Quality, and Operations to ensure supplier readiness for new designs, changes, and production requirements. What You Bring 5+ years of experience in supplier development, strategic sourcing, or supply chain engineering in a manufacturing environment. Strong negotiation skills with a track record of managing complex supplier relationships. Hands‑on experience with ISO 9001 supplier requirements, audits, and documentation. Ability to assess supplier capability, capacity, and technical competence in the field. Proficiency with ERP/MRP systems, supplier performance analytics, and MS Office. A Note on Travel This role requires frequent supplier visits — front‑loaded at roughly 60% travel during onboarding and qualification, settling to approximately 30% in steady state. Remote work is supported outside of travel. Compensation $115,000 – $145,000 annually, depending on experience. #J-18808-Ljbffr Algas-SDI
