Commodity Sourcing Manager
FluidStack — United States · Remote · Senior
Role description
Role Overview
The Commodity Sourcing Manager will own multi-year commodity strategies for direct material categories, building should-cost models that hold up against supplier pushback. They will lead RFI, RFQ, and RFP processes and e-auction bidding events across global supply markets, qualifying suppliers on capacity, financial health, and risk through structured assessments and site audits.
What You Will Do
The Commodity Sourcing Manager will negotiate and execute Master Supply Agreements, Long-Term Agreements, and pricing amendments, coordinating with Legal and Finance on annual price reviews and cost-down commitments. They will run Quarterly Business Reviews and supplier scorecards tracking quality, delivery, cost, and responsiveness, and build dual-source and geographic diversification plans to close out single-source risk.
Why It Might Be a Fit
The Commodity Sourcing Manager will deliver annual cost reduction targets through value engineering, demand aggregation, and supplier consolidation, partnering with Engineering on design-for-cost decisions ahead of new product introductions. They will use commodity indices (LME, CBOT) and hedging mechanisms to get ahead of pricing swings instead of reacting to them.
