About the Job

Requirements

  • Have 10+ years of experience in global sourcing or procurement, including 5+ years in strategic leadership roles and 5+ years with a consumer brand; furniture or other big-and-bulky categories are ideal, and upholstered furniture and made-to-order model experience are strongly preferred.
  • Demonstrate margin expansion through bill-of-materials-level negotiation, country diversification, and vendor consolidation, with quantifiable results.
  • Have experience building and leading globally distributed sourcing teams, including hands-on management of Asia-based teams across multiple countries.
  • Have experience using artificial intelligence and automation to displace manual work, including request-for-proposal automation, bill-of-materials analysis, cost modeling, vendor scorecards, and sourcing analytics; be a hands-on user of artificial intelligence tools.
  • Have experience navigating tariff exposure, geopolitical risk, and commodity volatility in a fast-changing trade environment.
  • Bring a product-partnered and brand-respecting approach, involving Design and Merchandising early in sourcing and driving vendor consolidation while protecting each brand's distinct identity.
  • Be curious about artificial-intelligence-assisted tools and willing to adopt them; existing expertise is not required.

Responsibilities

  • Build and own the long-term global sourcing strategy across the brand portfolio, covering manufacturing diversification and geopolitical risk, cost and margin, quality and brand integrity, sourcing operations, an artificial-intelligence-leveraged operating model, and sustainability.
  • Own strategic senior relationships with manufacturing partners across Asia, North America, and Europe, and lead negotiations of vendor contracts and raw-material agreements for fabric, foam, frames, hardware, and finishing materials.
  • Manage product-cost budget and profit-and-loss in partnership with the Chief Supply Chain Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and own initial markup and margin targets across brands.
  • Hold manufacturers accountable for promised throughput, capacity, and quality through vendor scorecards, regular business reviews, and contractual commitments.
  • Lead, build, and develop a globally distributed sourcing organization, with direct accountability for regional teams in Asia Pacific and North America.
  • Partner with Merchandising, Design, Product, Quality, and Logistics to involve sourcing at the earliest stages of product concept and ensure downstream operational execution.
  • Ensure alternative supply is in place across categories so the business is not dependent on a single critical vendor or country.
  • Lead the sourcing-side development of artificial-intelligence tooling and process automation so a small team can operate at the scale of a much larger one.
  • Serve as the lead sourcing sustainability and ethical-practices expert and advocate, driving programs aligned with customer expectations and regulatory requirements.

Desired Qualifications

  • Mandarin or Vietnamese language skills.
  • A Master of Business Administration.
  • Experience implementing or scaling sourcing technology such as product lifecycle management systems, vendor portals, or sourcing analytics platforms.
