What You'll Get to DoYou'll take the enterprise reins on sourcing strategy & procurement performance across a truly vertically integrated operation, spanning raw glass & primary aluminum billet, extrusion & fabrication inputs, overseas-sourced finished hardware, & indirect/capital spend across a global distribution network. This is a build-and-lead mandate: you'll set the strategy, stand up category management & procurement operations disciplines, lead global sourcing & trade compliance, and grow a high-performing team, all while sitting on the Operations & Supply Chain leadership team.
Job responsibilities include:
- Develop & execute a comprehensive enterprise procurement strategy that fuels growth, profitability, and supply continuity across manufacturing & distribution
- Lead strategic sourcing across direct materials, indirect spend, logistics, equipment, services & capital expenditures to drive down total cost of ownership
- Own global sourcing & trade compliance for hardware & distribution categories, including HTS classification, duty/tariff strategy, anti-dumping exposure, and CBP/BIS/OFAC adherence
- Lead duty mitigation strategies (foreign trade zones, tariff engineering, supplier diversification) & navigate evolving trade policy, including Section 232/301 dynamics
- Manage strategic supplier relationships & negotiate enterprise agreements, commercial terms, rebate structures & long-term partnerships at the executive level
- Build supplier risk programs, scorecards & dual/multi-sourcing strategies to protect continuity of supply
- Partner with Finance & Planning to improve working capital through inventory optimization & sourcing efficiencies
- Implement procurement technologies & spend analytics across multiple ERP environments (including SAP) to improve visibility & decision-making
- Build & lead a high-performing procurement organization, championing ethical sourcing, supplier diversity & sustainability along the way
- Define & own enterprise procurement KPIs: total landed cost, cost savings, supplier performance, inventory turns, working capital, freight/duty spend & compliance
What We Are Looking ForWe're looking for a seasoned procurement executive who can move fluidly between the plant floor & the port, someone who's just as comfortable driving a make-vs-buy analysis on extrusion inputs as they are negotiating with an overseas hardware supplier. You bring:
- 15+ years of progressive procurement, sourcing, or category management leadership, with significant time in vertically integrated, multi-site industrial or manufacturing environments
- Proven success leading enterprise procurement organizations within manufacturing, industrial products, building materials, or distribution
- Global sourcing experience across Asia, Europe & Mexico, with hands-on ownership of trade compliance, customs, tariffs/duties & international logistics
- A track record managing high-complexity, multi-category spend supporting 10,000+ SKUs
- Working knowledge of multiple ERP systems, including SAP, for spend analytics & supplier management
- Strong financial acumen with a demonstrated history of delivering measurable cost savings, margin improvement & working-capital gains
- Experience leading procurement transformation, category management programs & tech implementations
- A Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Engineering, Finance, Operations, or a related field
Nice to have: an MBA, experience in glass fabrication or aluminum extrusion, familiarity with construction-aligned demand, foreign trade zone/tariff engineering experience, APICS/ASCM, CPSM, Lean/Six Sigma, or customs broker credentials, & bilingual English/Spanish skills.
