Global Sourcing Manager, Manufacturing Facilities
Own global sourcing and supplier negotiations for manufacturing facilities equipment, fit-out, and services to support rapid production ramps. Requires proven experience sourcing capital equipment at scale, building supplier redundancy, and negotiating from should-cost models.
About the job
Role Scope
- Own global sourcing for manufacturing facilities: the equipment, fit-out, and services that stand up and run our factories.
- Negotiate supplier agreements across capital equipment, MRO, and facility services with lead times tied to the production ramp.
- Qualify and dual-source critical categories so no single supplier can stall the factory.
- Drive total cost, not just price: freight, spares, uptime, and terms.
What We're Looking For
- You've sourced capital equipment or industrial categories at scale and closed the deals yourself.
- You've built supplier redundancy that got tested and held.
- You negotiate from a should-cost model, not a quote comparison.
- You've managed suppliers through a factory launch or major ramp.
- Your contracts anticipate the failure modes: delays, quality, and support.
Bonus: Manufacturing launches. Equipment categories such as weld, CNC, and material handling. International supply bases. ERP procurement.
