[Hiring] Senior Strategic Sourcing Specialist @Fictiv

Role Description

As a Senior Strategic Sourcing Specialist, you’ll be responsible for building, qualifying, and strengthening Fictiv’s U.S.-based manufacturing partner network. You’ll work hands-on with CNC, sheet metal, additive manufacturing, and injection molding suppliers to ensure we have the right capabilities, capacity, quality, and cost structure to support our customers at scale.

This is a remote role, but candidates must live in the San Francisco Bay Area. Local presence is essential, as this position involves frequent, in-person visits to manufacturing partners to assess capabilities, develop relationships, and drive continuous improvement.

This is not a transactional sourcing role and not a desk-only job. You’ll spend time on factory floors, in production discussions, and working directly with suppliers to solve real manufacturing challenges.

You’ll report to the Manager of Strategic Sourcing, U.S., and serve as a senior individual contributor and subject-matter expert within the Strategic Sourcing team.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in strategic sourcing, supply chain, manufacturing engineering, or supplier development
• Hands-on experience working directly with domestic manufacturing suppliers, including on-site engagement
• Strong knowledge of CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, injection molding, or additive manufacturing
• Proven success sourcing, qualifying, negotiating with, and developing manufacturing suppliers
• Strong analytical skills with experience interpreting cost models and operational data
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Supply Chain, Business, or related field (Master’s degree preferred)
• Highly organized, self-directed, and comfortable operating autonomously
• Strong project management capability
• Ability to travel 25–50%, primarily within the San Francisco Bay Area

Requirements

• This role requires access to export-controlled technology and is restricted to U.S. persons (U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or other protected individuals under 8 U.S.C. §1324b). Proof of status will be required prior to employment.

Benefits

• Competitive medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) plan
• Monthly virtual work stipend (internet, food, wellness, pet care, travel)
• Annual education stipend
• Paid parental leave
• Paid volunteer days
• Full onboarding setup (standing desk, laptop, monitor, chair)
• Ergonomic and equipment stipend
• And more
