Global Sourcing Manager

What You’ll Do

• Work directly with engineering and technical teams to define procurement requirements for pre-operational sites; translate technical specifications into sourcing scope.
• Own end-to-end pre-operational procurement: qualify vendors per established policy frameworks, run RFQ and competitive bid processes, negotiate pricing and contract terms, execute purchases, manage first deliveries.
• Procure operating supplies and consumables (including reagents and spare parts) and non-construction capital spend (including mobile equipment).
• Ensure all contracts are reviewed for policy compliance and enterprise-level alignment prior to execution; flag clauses with broader implications.
• Own vendor relationships through the pre-operational phase; ensure clean handoff to on-site procurement as sites become operational.
• Support on-site procurement on complex purchases, high-value negotiations, and new project scope at existing operational sites.
• Lead cross-site consolidation sourcing events to identify and capture volume-based savings opportunities.
• Contribute quote data and supplier information to the organization's pricing and market intelligence database.
• Coordinate across site and project teams to ensure continuity of supply through startup and into operations.

Desired Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, materials science, chemistry, or a related technical field required. Candidates without a degree who can demonstrate equivalent technical depth through experience will be considered.
• 8-12+ years of experience in procurement, project procurement, or capital purchasing in mining, industrials, chemicals, or a related sector.
• Proven track record of owning pre-operational or greenfield site procurement from spec to first delivery.
• Strong technical background with the ability to read specifications, understand process requirements, and engage credibly with engineering teams.
• Excellent negotiation skills with a track record of securing favorable terms under time pressure and without a large team behind you.
• Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple concurrent procurement workstreams across different projects and sites.
• Comfortable operating with ambiguity and limited structure; takes ownership and figures it out.
• Proficient with software tools for project tracking, workstream management, and reporting.
