THE ROLE:

We are looking for a Strategic Sourcing Buyer to join our team in Secaucus, New Jersey, where you'll take ownership of cable and connector supply strategy for key product programs. In this role, you'll be the bridge between design milestones and supplier execution—managing RFQs, Costed BOMs, and NPI development costs with Cable, Connector, and Thermal suppliers. You'll work in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment where collaboration with engineering, planning, and procurement teams is essential to ensure raw material readiness and on-time delivery. This is an opportunity to deepen your sourcing expertise while directly contributing to the success of new product introductions and driving risk mitigation strategies across a complex supply chain. If you're looking to work hands-on with suppliers, manage technical negotiations, and play a key role in execution, this role is for you.

You are a meticulous and well-organized professional with extensive experience in supplier management and in-depth knowledge of sourcing cable, connector, and thermal components. You take a proactive role in handling RFQs, costed BOMs, and maintaining change histories in alignment with key design milestones. Your strength lies in coordinating with suppliers and internal teams to ensure material readiness, minimize shortages, and reduce supply chain risks. You're adept at tracking and managing BOMs and part numbers, releasing accurate forecasts and demand orders, and negotiating delivery schedules with confidence. Your collaborative mindset and focus on execution make you a key contributor in a deadline-driven environment where clear communication and cross-functional alignment are essential.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Demonstrate strong knowledge of BOM structure and design processes specific to Cable/Connector components in server and rack environments.
• Utilize advanced analytical and communication skills to support cross-functional collaboration and problem-solving.
• Manage multiple priorities effectively, demonstrating expert multitasking and time management abilities.
• Apply proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, including advanced Excel and PowerPoint skills, to support data analysis and presentations.
• Plan and organize activities using structured tracking tools to ensure project progress and accountability.
• Take proactive ownership of issues, driving timely resolution and follow-through until completion.
• Collaborate effectively across teams and departments to achieve company goals and deliver results.
• Consistently exceed expectations by demonstrating a strong drive for results and commitment to excellence.
• Maintain a high level of attention to detail to ensure information accuracy and quality in all deliverables.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Experience in the ODM/OEM Manufacturing or Server System Solution industry.
• Direct experience in supply chain function is a plus.
• Experience using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and PowerPoint, including but not limited to the ability to analyze data using pivots and V-Lookups.
