Sr. Manager, Purchasing & Strategic Sourcing
Posted Updated
- The Sr. Manager, Purchasing & Strategic Sourcing leads Harmonic Drive LLC’s total procurement function — both production (direct materials) and non-production (indirect) spend — and operates as a strategic, hands-on leader of the Purchasing team. This is a player-coach role: approximately 80% of the position is focused on strategic sourcing, supplier relationship management, category strategy, and team leadership, with the remaining 20% dedicated to hands-on buying and expediting for the most critical or complex needs. This role establishes and matures purchasing discipline over non-production categories (e.g., MRO, capital equipment, facilities, professional services, and other indirect spend) that have not historically been centrally managed, while continuing to ensure production materials meet customer demand, quality, and inventory targets.
