About the Role:

Reporting to the VP of Sourcing, the Senior Sourcing Coordinator will play a critical role in bringing new products to market faster by leading sourcing execution throughout the new product development lifecycle. This position is responsible for driving supplier sourcing, quoting, costing, and sample development to support on-time, on-cost product launches.

• Own supplier quoting and costing processes, including MOQ alignment, lead times, negotiations, and cost trade-offs to support margin and launch targets.
• Partner closely with Product Managers and the Product Development Manager to align sourcing decisions with product strategy, development milestones, and launch schedules.
• Identify and proactively mitigate sourcing-related risks including capacity constraints, timeline risks, logistics challenges, and compliance requirements.
• Ensure sourcing activities meet quality, regulatory, and compliance standards throughout development.
• Maintain and manage sourcing documentation including costing files, BOMs, supplier details, and development notes to support seamless handoff to Product Management at commercialization.
• Act as the primary sourcing point of contact during development, reducing reliance on Product Managers and Development leadership for day-to-day sourcing execution.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of sourcing and development processes to improve speed, cost efficiency, and execution consistency.

• Expedite sourcing activities as needed to support product launch deadlines.

Process Support

• Coordinate sample reviews and feedback cycles.
• Review vendor quotes for accuracy and completeness.
• Track cost revisions and changes throughout the development process.

Qualifications & Experience

• 5+ years of sourcing, supply chain, or product development experience within a Client or consumer goods environment.
• Hands-on experience working with overseas manufacturers and global supply chains.
• Strong understanding of costing, MOQs, lead times, and supplier negotiations
