Job description

We are seeking a Senior Sourcing/ Procurement Manager to lead end-to-end strategic procurement and commodity sourcing activities. This role is responsible for building cost-effective supplier networks, negotiating high-impact contracts, and mitigating supply disruption risks across key categories (including sheet metal, mechanical components, raw materials, or building equipment).

The successful candidate will play a key strategic role in managing key regional supplier relationships—particularly across Chinese-speaking manufacturing markets and suppliers—to maintain product quality, delivery reliability, and commercial competitiveness.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Sourcing & Category Management: Develop and execute strategic sourcing plans across key procurement categories to achieve cost savings, quality standards, and on-time delivery targets.

Supplier Selection & Management: Identify, audit, select, and manage global/regional suppliers; build strong vendor partnerships and establish business continuity plans.

Commercial Negotiation: Lead complex commercial negotiations regarding pricing, payment terms, quality specs, and contractual framework agreements.

Risk Mitigation & Supply Chain Continuity: Analyze market trends and raw material price fluctuations, identify single-source risks, and implement multi-sourcing strategies.

Cross-Functional Support: Collaborate closely with Product Engineering, R&D, Logistics, and Operations to support new product introductions and component localization.

Performance Metrics: Monitor vendor KPIs (delivery SLA, defect rates, cost variance) and drive continuous improvement initiatives.

Key Qualifications

Experience: 8 to 10 years of strategic sourcing, procurement, or commodity management experience within industrial manufacturing, automation, mechanical engineering, or equipment supply chains.

Education: Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Engineering, or a related field.

Language Requirement: Mandarin fluency (spoken & written) is strongly preferred to communicate effectively with Chinese suppliers, manufacturers, and regional supply partners.

Demonstrated mastery in vendor negotiations, contract drafting, and total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis.

Solid understanding of manufacturing materials (e.g., sheet metal, electronics, wire mesh, plastic/building materials).

Proficiency in enterprise ERP systems (SAP/Oracle) and advanced Excel analytics.

Strong commercial acumen and cross-cultural communication skills.
