Strategic Sourcing Manager at Crusoe · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

The Strategic Sourcing Manager owns the strategic sourcing function as a unified, coherent system rather than a collection of siloed commodities. In this leadership role, you will be responsible for building the team, setting contract and negotiation governance, establishing rigorous process standards, and managing the consolidated cross-category risk view. While individual Category Managers own specific spend areas end-to-end, you will ensure their work is consistently high-caliber, defensible, and aligned with Crusoe’s broader strategic objectives.
This is a pivotal people leadership and strategy role designed to scale our sourcing organization. The ideal candidate brings extensive experience designing sourcing playbooks, coaching talent through complex vendor negotiations, and translating portfolio-level supply chain risks into actionable leadership insights. If you thrive on developing high-performing teams, enforcing strategic discipline under schedule pressure, and building scalable procurement frameworks in an industrial manufacturing environment, this position offers high-impact visibility. This is a Full-Time position.
What You’ll Be Working On:
Team Leadership & Talent Development: Hire, coach, and evaluate the Category Manager team, implementing structured development projects to elevate capability across commodity areas.
Cross-Category Risk Rollup: Maintain a consolidated, portfolio-wide risk register identifying top single-source exposures, lead-time bottlenecks, and supplier financial concerns across all categories.
Process Standardization: Own and continuously improve core sourcing playbooks, including the RFI/RFQ/AVL qualification sequence, Kraljic category frameworks, and standardized supplier scorecards.
Negotiation Governance: Establish deal sign-off thresholds, escalation paths, and redline standards, providing direct coaching to Category Managers on high-stakes, complex supplier contracts.
Capacity & Resource Prioritization: Prioritize team bandwidth across spend categories to ensure sourcing efforts align with critical business demands and schedule constraints.
Functional Boundary Enforcement: Enforce clean operational boundaries between Strategic Sourcing and Material Planning so Category Managers remain focused on commercial strategy rather than tactical execution.
Executive Reporting & S&OP Representation: Synthesize all category strategies, cost savings/avoidance metrics, and supply constraints into a single, cohesive view for executive leadership and monthly S&OP reconciliations.
What You’ll Bring to the Team:
Experience: 8–12+ years of dedicated experience in strategic sourcing or category management, including direct people management of a sourcing or procurement team within manufacturing, industrial hardware, or electrical equipment sectors.
