Strategic Sourcing Specialist - North Attleboro, MA

Expansion, Growth & Stability -- are those words being used to describe your current employer's situation? Well it is here. With sales up 35% and profits up 150% in 2010, as well as 2 new acquisitions already under their belt in 2011, there is a lot of excitement about the direction our client is heading.

As our client is diversifying to make key components that will drive Green products, like hybrid cars, wind mills, etc., beyond their current portfolio, expansion is considered to be long-term here. As a result, we are looking for the right person to drive the strategic sourcing process for this $1.5B organization.

If you prefer to be strategic in your approach (rather than tactical purchasing), are comfortable working with international plants and enjoy being part of a diversified manufacturing organization then we'd love to hear from you ASAP.
