What we need Symbotic is seeking a Senior Manager, Strategic Sourcing to join our Strategic Sourcing team within our Supply Chain organization. Your role will be to lead our contract manufacturing strategy and develop a resilient, cost-competitive global manufacturing network for complex electromechanical products. What we do Our global procurement organization partners closely with the business to build category strategies that drive competitive advantage. We own strategic sourcing and supplier agreements end-to-end — from commercial and pricing structures through supplier relationship management — while our sourcing operations ensure disciplined execution at scale. Our scope spans the full lifecycle: procuring robotics, structural, and automation components at the core of our systems, sourcing third-party partners for installation and deployment, and ensuring robust aftersales support once systems are live — all in service of Symbotic's commitment to reimagining the supply chain and transforming the movement of goods through intelligent automation, while bringing unparalleled value to the customer. Every decision is grounded in a relentless focus on total cost of ownership, balancing speed and rigor to drive the best outcomes for the business. What you'll do Lead Symbotic's contract manufacturing strategy, including selection, negotiation, onboarding, and ongoing management of global manufacturing partners. Own commercial relationships with key contract manufacturers and assembly suppliers, driving cost, quality, delivery, and capacity performance. Develop and execute sourcing strategies for complex electromechanical products, partnering closely with Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain, Quality, and Manufacturing teams. Negotiate long-term supply agreements, manufacturing service agreements (MSAs), pricing, tooling, inventory, and capacity commitments. Drive annual cost reduction initiatives through value engineering, should-cost analysis, productivity programs, and supply base optimization. Support new product introduction (NPI) and production ramp activities to ensure suppliers meet schedule, quality, and cost objectives. Lead executive-level supplier business reviews and establish performance management scorecards and corrective action processes. Assess and mitigate supply chain risks related to capacity, geographic concentration, financial stability, and component availability. Partner with commodity sourcing teams across mechanical, electronics, motors, batteries, and other key categories to optimize total system cost. Develop manufacturing footprint strategies to support business growth, scalability, resiliency, and customer requirements. Manage significant annual spend and contribute to long-range supply chain, inventory, and working capital strategies. Build and mentor a high-performing sourcing organization as the business scales. What you'll need Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, Engineering, or a related field; Master’s degree or MBA is highly preferred. Minimum 8–10 years of strategic sourcing, supply chain, manufacturing, or procurement experience in robotics, automation, industrial equipment, electronics, or other complex hardware industries. Minimum 3 years of people management experience leading and growing teams. Deep experience managing contract manufacturers or similar EMS/mechanical assembly providers. Proven track record negotiating complex commercial agreements and delivering measurable cost reductions. Experience supporting product launches, manufacturing transfers, and global production ramp-ups. Strong understanding of electromechanical systems, including mechanical assemblies, motors, electronics, batteries, and custom manufactured components. Ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders and effectively communicate with executive leadership and strategic suppliers. Demonstrated leadership experience managing teams and driving results in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. Our Environment Up to 20% of travel may be required. Employees must have a valid driver's license and the ability to drive and/or fly to client locations and company HQ. Employees may be required to use a personal credit card for business travel expenses, which are reimbursed based on the program guidelines. Eligible employees may receive a corporate credit card based on role and travel requirements, but a personal credit card may be needed during onboarding until the corporate card is issued. #LI-RA1 #LI-Remote About Symbotic Symbotic is an automation technology leader reimagining the supply chain with its end-to-end, AI-powered robotic and software platform.
