Job description
Direct Hire Base Salary $180k-$240k first year bonus 30% second year bonus 40% base
The mandate
Margin is leaking through the supply base and the portfolio company either does not know where or cannot move fast enough to stop it. You come in to find it, capture it, and leave behind a sourcing function that holds the gain after you go.
This role sits close to EBITDA. Sponsors expect quantified, validated savings against a real baseline — not an announced savings number that never reaches the P&L.
What you’ll own
Full spend baseline and category segmentation, typically inside the first month
Vendor contract renegotiation across the top spend categories
Supply base diversification and dual-sourcing for single-source and geographically concentrated exposure
Raw material strategy, including tariff, freight, and commodity risk
Inventory strategy: right-sizing, positioning against actual demand variability, and freeing working capital
Implementation of demand and inventory forecasting tools, including AI-driven planning where the data supports it
Sales and operations planning cadence, where one does not already function
Supplier performance management and scorecarding
What you bring
12+ years in supply chain, procurement, or integrated sourcing, with director-level ownership
Demonstrated, verifiable savings capture — you can walk through the baseline, the mechanism, and the P&L landing
Category depth in direct materials relevant to industrial manufacturing
Experience standing up or repairing S&OP
Working knowledge of planning systems and forecasting tools; enough technical fluency to evaluate a vendor claim
Comfort renegotiating from a weak position when the supplier knows it
Strong plus: tariff and trade compliance exposure; nearshoring supplier qualification; distressed or liquidity-constrained environments; VDS-adjacent procurement consulting methodology experience.
