Job Description

Insight Global is seeking a Sr. Manager of Global Strategic Sourcing & Procurement to lead enterprise sourcing, supplier negotiations, and cost-reduction initiatives across a global manufacturing footprint. This individual will help consolidate procurement strategies across historically independent sites and create greater leverage across suppliers, materials, and contracts. The role will support approximately 7-8 manufacturing sites and will focus heavily on direct material spend, supplier consolidation, contract negotiation, pricing strategy, and measurable cost reduction. This is a highly visible, hands-on leadership role that will partner with site procurement teams, Operations, Engineering, Quality, Finance, Commercial, and other business leaders. The position will initially operate through influence and dotted-line relationships rather than direct reports.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute global sourcing and procurement strategies across multiple manufacturing sites, driving supplier consolidation, purchasing leverage, and improved commercial terms.
• Lead sourcing strategies for polymers, resins, purchased components, packaging, tooling, and outsourced manufacturing services, with a focus on direct-spend cost reduction.
• Lead RFQs, bid evaluations, supplier negotiations, and contract agreements with domestic and international suppliers.
• Evaluate total landed cost, including material pricing, freight, duties, inventory, tooling, lead times, qualification costs, and supply risk.
• Develop preferred supplier strategies and identify alternate or dual-sourcing opportunities to improve cost and supply continuity.
• Partner with Engineering, Quality, and Operations on alternate materials, supplier changes, standardization, and value-engineering initiatives.
• Support new product and customer quotations by securing competitive supplier pricing.
• Partner with Finance to measure and validate realized savings and purchasing improvements.
• Establish consistent sourcing processes across manufacturing sites while building strong relationships with local procurement teams and influencing decisions without direct authority.
• Monitor supplier cost, capacity, delivery, and supply-chain risk.

Skills and Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations, Business or related field; technical degree preferred.
• 7+ years of experience in strategic sourcing, cost engineering, supplier development, manufacturing engineering or procurement within manufacturing.
• Experience with polymers, engineered resins, extrusion, injection molding, packaging or similar manufacturing materials.
• Experience working within medical device manufacturing, contract manufacturing, packaging or a similar regulated manufacturing environment.
• Proven success delivering measurable material or purchased-component cost reductions.
• Experience with RFQs, supplier negotiations, bid analysis and total-cost modeling.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to turn spend, pricing, volume and specification data into sourcing actions.
• Experience supporting new-product quotations, launches or commercialization.
• Ability to influence technical, commercial and operational stakeholders without direct authority.
• Strong communication, negotiation and project-management skills; proficiency with ERP purchasing data, Excel and cost-analysis tools.
• Willingness to travel to company sites and supplier locations as needed.
• Knowledge of supplier qualification, design controls, validation and formal change management.
• Experience developing index-based material pricing agreements.
• Experience with should-cost modeling, value analysis/value engineering and design-to-cost.
• Knowledge of contract manufacturing or CDMO commercial and quotation processes.
• CPSM, CSCP or similar certification is a plus.
