- Maintain ownership of end-to-end BOM cost, tooling budgets, and cost forecasts, serving as the primary commercial lead for product cost health.
- Monitor and anticipate global supply trends, capacity risks, and regulatory changes to build resilient and scalable sourcing strategies.
- 12+ years of progressive experience in sourcing, procurement, or supply chain leadership in a CM/JDM/ODM environment, with deep expertise in global manufacturing operations.
- Proven ability to manage teams and complex supplier networks in high-growth or high-velocity environments.
- Track record of bringing complex electronic or wearable products from concept through mass production.
- Strong commercial acumen and negotiation skills, with demonstrated success managing cost targets and supplier performance.
- Expertise in BOM cost management, supply chain modeling, and global logistics.

- Willingness to travel internationally up to 25%
- Experience with ERP (NetSuite preferred) and PLM (Arena preferred)
