Sourcing Specialist

Ready to take the lead in something really cool? At EmbedTek, we help businesses help people. And we’re looking for a Sourcing Specialist to help us do it even better. This dynamic role is perfect for someone who thrives on smart negotiation, strategic thinking, and building strong partnerships.

The Sourcing Specialist creates, organizes and implements vendor strategies for products and services used by our clients (more on this later). Here’s what’s involved: Plan on negotiating based on analysis of market demands and current economic conditions. Be prepared to make quick decisions and concessions while advocating for our prices and inventory needs. In essence, our suppliers, our customers and our interdepartmental relationships will be in your hands. This is a dynamic position that requires experience, careful planning, attention to detail, a passion for purchasing, effective communication, persistence and a willingness to find common ground as a team player.

You might be a good fit if you:

• Want to play a critical role in growing our company’s success.
• Are someone whose family always claims you’re meticulous with details and negotiates for nearly everything you buy.
• Can collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and production teams to ensure sourcing aligns with design and quality requirements.
• Have worked with leading suppliers and technology partners worldwide.
• Stay informed on market trends, component lifecycle changes (EOL, obsolescence) and emerging supply chain risks.
• Support cost reduction initiatives and continuous improvement efforts in procurement and supply chain operations.
• Are an underutilized independent thinker whose talent could impact millions of lives given the right environment and opportunity.

You might be a great fit if you:

• Are able to prioritize tasks, find necessary information or approvals as needed before projects and work grinds to a halt.
• Understand how little numbers add up in purchasing and big numbers don’t intimidate you.
• Are super organized and can block out time for focused work while allowing for interruptions.
• “No time to be wasted” on unrelated tasks or activities that don’t contribute to meaningful projects or goals.
• Are interested in working with multiple industries; Here’s the more -i.e, technology, medical, military, industrial, transportation and fitness.
• Value your mentors and are interested in giving back by mentoring other purchasing professionals to the next level.
