Location: Parsippany, NJ (Hybrid)

Duration: Direct Hire

Salary Range: $80K to $100K/annum

Start: ASAP

What they really need:

This role is heavy on purchasing and sourcing, not broad supply chain. The main focus is buying mechanical and electrical parts for machines and building a strong US-based supplier network.

• Source components that were previously supplied by Europe & Asia
• Lead supplier sourcing, qualification, and negotiations
• Own RFQs, pricing, contracts, and supplier performance
• Work closely with Engineering, Quality, and Supply Chain teams
• Focus on cost reduction and supplier optimization
• Much more purchasing & negotiation, less end-to-end supply chain planning

What they’re looking for

• 5–10 years of experience in sourcing / purchasing
• Strong background in industrial, mechanical, or electrical components
• Experience developing new suppliers from scratch
• Comfortable negotiating pricing and commercial terms
• Bachelor’s degree required
• ERP experience (SAP is a plus)
• Able to work in a matrix/global environment
• Open to 30–40% travel

Interview Process
