Role Summary

The NPDI Sourcing Lead is the regional point of contact for Procurement on assigned New Product Development & Introduction (NPDI) projects. This role is responsible for establishing a resilient, cost‑effective, and scalable supply chain for new products by driving early supplier engagement, sourcing strategy execution, and procurement readiness throughout the NPDI phase‑and‑gate process.

NPDI Program Leadership and Cross‑Functional Alignment

• Serve as the primary Procurement representative for assigned NPDI projects from early concept through production readiness.
• Ensure procurement deliverables are planned, tracked, and executed in alignment with NPDI phase and gate requirements.
• Represent Procurement at NPDI gate reviews, providing clear visibility into sourcing maturity, gaps, and mitigations.
• Track and report key metrics such as cost, lead time, supplier performance, and launch readiness.
• Partner closely with Engineering, Program Management, Commodity Management, Quality, and Operations teams to ensure sourcing strategies support overall project objectives.
• Act as the primary escalation point for procurement‑related risks impacting cost, schedule, or supply resilience.

Early Supplier Engagement and Sourcing Strategy

• Engage proactively with Engineering to understand component requirements early in the design process.
• Engage suppliers early to assess technical capability, capacity, cost drivers, and lead‑time expectations.
• Send early RFQs/RFPs ahead of design release and drive competitive bidding to achieve cost targets.
• Facilitate collaboration between Engineering and suppliers to improve design for manufacturability, cost efficiency, and supply flexibility.
• Establish strong supplier partnerships to drive innovation, risk mitigation, and continuous improvement.
• Ensure sourcing approaches align with established commodity strategies and preferred supplier frameworks.

Cost, Risk, and Supply Chain Readiness

• Support prototype, pilot, and pre-production builds, ensuring on-time availability of materials and services.
• Ensure sourcing aligns with NPDI resilience expectations (multi‑source, regional manufacturing, avoidance of single‑point failures).
• Use standardized BOM cost and risk tracking tools to maintain consistency and transparency.
• Promote reuse of existing, qualified components and architectures where feasible to improve cost, availability, and time‑to‑market.
• Drive sourcing maturity and readiness prior to product release to minimize disruption during ramp‑up and production.

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Strong background in Procurement, Strategic Sourcing, or Supply Chain, with experience supporting new product or engineering‑driven programs.
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively in a matrixed, cross‑functional environment.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to influence across functions without direct authority.

Preferred

• Experience supporting global supply chains and multiple manufacturing regions.
• Familiarity with stage‑gate or structured product development processes.
• Experience working closely with Engineering teams during early product development.
