Head of International Supply Chain Fort Lee, NJ - In Person $200K–$300K (BOE)
Company Overview
We're a fast-growing U.S.-based importer and distributor of high-demand manufactured products. With a commitment to operational excellence, we partner with overseas suppliers to bring top-quality goods to the North American market. We are seeking a strategic and hands-on Head of Overseas Purchasing to lead and expand our global sourcing function.
Position Overview
This is a senior role managing all aspects of overseas purchasing—including product knowledge, supplier relations, forecasting, quality control, and logistics. You'll drive vendor diversification, manage critical timelines, and ensure that our production pipeline supports business growth.
Experience with overseas sourcing, understanding technical product specifications, and navigating multi-factory operations is a must.
The Ideal Candidate
You're a proactive operator with deep experience in global sourcing—especially from Asia. You're not just a deal-maker; you're a systems thinker who can optimize vendor networks, read technical specs, and spot risks before they disrupt production. You balance strategic oversight with hands-on problem-solving and can communicate clearly across cultures and teams.
Key Responsibilities
Learn product lines, construction methods, and technical specs quickly
Read and interpret CAD drawings and product documentation
Source and vet new overseas factories (Vietnam, China, others)
Negotiate pricing, contracts, and production capacity
Maintain strong vendor relationships and a diversified supply network
Create and manage 6–12 month product forecasts
Coordinate production flow, container schedules, and factory lead times
Ensure product quality via third-party or in-house inspections
Troubleshoot delays, solve scheduling conflicts, and fast-track when needed
Collaborate closely with sales and operations to ensure aligned execution
Qualifications
7+ years in overseas purchasing, sourcing, or supply chain leadership
Deep knowledge of product manufacturing and international trade
Ability to read CAD or engineering drawings
Experience working with vendors in China, Vietnam, or similar markets
Strong negotiation, forecasting, and planning skills
Experience managing multi-factory logistics and vendor performance
Excellent communication and cross-functional leadership
Must-Haves
Experience sourcing and managing overseas vendor relationships
Ability to read and understand product drawings and specifications
Proven success in forecasting and production planning
Track record of solving overseas quality and scheduling issues
Strong organizational and communication skills
Benefits
Highly competitive salary + bonus potential
Health, dental, and vision insurance
401(k) plan with employer match
Generous PTO and holiday schedule
High-impact leadership role with visibility and autonomy
If you're ready to own overseas purchasing for a high-growth company—and make a real impact on global operations—this could be your next big move.
