What You'll Get to Do

You'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 For

We'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.

We welcome candidates from all backgrounds who bring the strategic depth & operational grit this role demands. If your experience doesn't check every box but you know you can lead at this level, we want to hear from you
