Manager of Sourcing & Procurement

Manager Of Sourcing & Procurement

The Manager of Sourcing & Procurement is a leadership role responsible for building and executing the company's end-to-end packaging procurement strategy. This leader owns the supplier base, the specification library, and the commercial relationships that put the right materials — corrugated, film, flexible, folding cartons, labels, and specialty substrates — into field customers, kitting lines and national account programs on time, on spec, and at optimal cost.

Reporting to the CCO, the Manager sits at the intersection of supply chain, operations, and the sales team. They are expected to drive measurable savings, reduce supply risk, and build a procurement function that gives the company a competitive advantage — not just a compliant one.

This role is chartered to accomplish four strategic outcomes within the first 18 months:

• Build a world-class supplier panel — curated, dual-sourced, and performance-managed across all material categories
• Reduce total packaging spend by 8–12% through strategic sourcing, SKU rationalization, and volume aggregation
• Eliminate supply disruptions — zero kitting line stoppages attributable to procurement failures
• Establish a sustainability sourcing roadmap aligned with local and national account client requirements and EPR trends

• Strategic sourcing & category management
• Supplier development & relationship management
