The position requires the ability to work with supply chain, engineering, finance, and legal teams as well as contract manufacturers and suppliers. The position also requires strong analytical skills, critical thinking skills, negotiation skills, and the ability to operate in a dynamic environment on multiple projects with competing or changing priorities.

What you will do:

Working as a key member of the sourcing team, with a focus on EMS Category Management for complex supply chain projects
Development and implementation of Contract Manufacturing strategies and initiatives considering factors such as business requirements, quality, cost, lead times, and CM capabilities
Monitoring market trends and advancements in capabilities within the supplier landscape and providing recommendations to leverage them for the benefit of ŌURA products

Identifying, evaluating, contracting, and onboarding new suppliers that can provide the most value required for ŌURA products and manufacturing needs
Conducting regular supplier performance evaluations and audits to assess quality, delivery, and overall supplier capabilities and performance

Working closely with engineering and operations to ensure the availability of materials to meet development and production schedules; prepare purchase orders for prototyping and mass production as required
Identification and mitigation of potential supply chain risks by implementing appropriate risk management strategies and contingency plans
Participation in the continuous development of ŌURA sourcing working practices

This is a remote US role with a slight preference for candidates based in San Francisco or San Diego.
