Responsibilities
About the role
The Strategic Sourcing Manager is responsible for developing and executing sourcing strategies for key materials, components, and outsourced manufacturing services, including metals, ceramics, plastics, chemicals, CNC-machined components, gas delivery components, gasline-related assemblies, and contract-manufactured assemblies. The role focuses on strategic sourcing, supplier qualification and development, commercial negotiations, cost optimization, supply risk management, and supplier performance improvement. Working closely with Engineering, R&D, Quality, EHS, Production, Planning, and other relevant stakeholders, the successful candidate will establish a competitive, reliable, and scalable supply base to support new product introduction (NPI), production ramp-up, and the Company's business growth.
Key responsibilities
Develop and execute sourcing strategies for raw materials, including metals, ceramics, plastics, and chemicals; CNC-machined components; gas delivery components and gasline-related assemblies; and outsourced or contract-manufactured assemblies.
Conduct market intelligence, supplier benchmarking, cost analysis, and supply market assessments to identify cost trends, supply risks, alternative sourcing opportunities, and emerging supplier capabilities within the semiconductor and precision manufacturing ecosystem.
Establish category sourcing plans aligned with technical specifications, quality requirements, production demand, cost targets, and business objectives.
Drive supplier consolidation, rationalization, and spend-leverage initiatives to optimize the supplier base and improve procurement efficiency.
Lead supplier identification, evaluation, qualification, and onboarding in collaboration with Engineering, Quality, EHS, and other relevant stakeholders.
Lead commercial negotiations covering pricing, payment terms, lead times, tooling ownership, warranty obligations, and long-term supply agreements across assigned sourcing categories.
Drive cost-reduction and cost-avoidance initiatives through strategic negotiations, value analysis, supplier collaboration, and alternative sourcing.
Partner with R&D and Engineering teams during NPI to provide sourcing input on design for manufacturability (DFM), cost optimization, supplier capabilities, and supply chain scalability.
Identify and assess supplier, market, capacity, quality, geopolitical, and other risks that may affect supply continuity.
Drive continuous improvement in sourcing effectiveness, supplier performance, cost competitiveness, procurement efficiency, and supply chain resilience.
About you
Degree in Supply Chain Management, Procurement, Engineering, Business Administration, or a related discipline; equivalent relevant qualifications and experience may be considered.
At least 8 years of relevant experience in strategic sourcing, procurement, or supplier management, preferably in semiconductor manufacturing, precision engineering, or a related high-tech manufacturing environment.
Demonstrated experience managing sourcing categories such as raw materials, CNC-machined components, gas delivery components, gasline-related assemblies, or contract-manufactured assemblies.
Proven experience in supplier qualification, commercial negotiations, cost optimization, and supplier performance management.
Experience with ERP/MRP systems and procurement data management; SAP experience is an advantage.
Strong analytical, commercial negotiation, problem-solving, and project management skills.
