In this role, you will
Develop, implement, and continuously refine comprehensive sourcing strategies and multi-generation roadmaps for your assigned portfolio, aligning supply capability to business growth and technology direction.
Maintain a deep pulse on emerging technologies, supply and demand dynamics, capacity investment, and industry trends. Conduct competitive analyses and benchmark the supply base to inform build-versus-buy, qualification, and dual-source decisions.
Lead cross-functional teams through the sourcing process for new platforms, technologies, and components—defining requirements, running RFI, RFQ, and RFP events, evaluating proposals on technical and commercial merit, and driving business award decisions.
Lead complex, high-value supplier negotiations covering pricing, capacity, quality and delivery commitments, warranty, liability, and intellectual property. Secure favorable terms that protect supply and margin.
Own the drafting, execution, and administration of master supply agreements, long-term agreements, statements of work, and amendments. Partner with Legal to manage risk and ensure commercial terms are enforced throughout the life of each agreement.
Build bottom-up should-cost models and total cost of ownership analyses to inform negotiation strategy and identify cost reduction opportunities. Partner with Finance on budgeting, forecasting, savings tracking, and reconciliation, and maintain accountability for committed cost targets.
Build supply resilience through qualified dual sourcing, geographic and sub-tier diversification, capacity reservations, and long-term supply commitments. Identify and mitigate exposure from single points of failure, sub-tier constraints, allocation events, tariffs, trade policy, and geopolitical disruption.
Establish and manage supplier scorecards across cost, quality, delivery, technology, and responsiveness. Lead quarterly and executive business reviews, drive corrective action where performance gaps exist, and hold suppliers to continuous improvement commitments.
Cultivate and sustain durable relationships with executive leadership across the supply base, influencing supplier business models, investment decisions, and technology roadmaps in our favor.
Drive commercial engagement for prototype and development sourcing, secure early build materials, and support a seamless transition from NPI through qualification to volume production and global deployment.
Operate as the connective tissue between Hardware Engineering, Supplier Quality Engineering, Product, Demand and Supply Planning, Data Center Operations, Legal, and Finance—building consensus across teams and driving decisions to closure in a fast-moving environment.
Propose and implement innovative supply chain, logistics, and inventory improvements that increase speed, reduce landed cost, and improve working capital.
