Job Description
Education & Background:
• Bachelor's degree in supply chain, business, international relations, economics, or a related field; advanced degree a plus.
• 3+ years of experience in supply chain, procurement, commodity management, or a related operations function.
• Experience in a supplier-facing or externally engaging role; comfort running meetings and driving follow-through independently.
• Familiarity with critical minerals, raw materials, or global commodity markets is a plus, but strong curiosity and willingness to learn are equally valued.
Key Skills & Qualifications:
• Supplier Engagement & Autonomy: Comfortable independently leading structured, initiative-driving conversations with external supplier contacts, setting agendas, managing follow-through, and moving stakeholders toward documented commitments without needing step-by-step direction.
• Global Awareness & Geopolitical Curiosity: Genuine interest in global current events, trade policy, geopolitical tensions, and commodity market dynamics and the ability to connect macro signals to supply chain risk implications at the material and supplier level.
• Operations Platforms: Comfortable working in or learning digital platform tools to manage multisupplier tracking systems, build structured databases, and maintain live program dashboards.
Broader comfort with Excel strongly preferred.
• Program & Project Management: Ability to manage parallel workstreams with multiple stakeholders simultaneously, tracking status, prioritizing follow-ups, and maintaining momentum across a large supplier base without losing detail.
• Analytical Thinking: Ability to interpret structured risk data and translate findings into clear, prioritized engagement plans and supplier-facing feedback.
• Clear Written Communication: Strong written communication skills, able to craft concise, professional supplier-facing documents, internal trackers, and executive summaries that are accurate, structured, and action-oriented.
Role Overview:
• This contractor will work directly alongside Client CMM Global Supply Manager to co-drive two parallel work streams: driving structured raw material risk mitigation best practices with suppliers and engaging suppliers to reduce raw material risk exposure. This is a hands-on, externally facing role that sits at the intersection of supply chain risk, supplier management, and program operations.
Key Responsibilities:
• Lead structured supplier conversations independently: preparing for, facilitating, and following up on mitigation-focused discussions with suppliers to drive commitment to action.
• Develop and deliver personalized feedback to supplier respondents, translating self-assessment data into clear, actionable improvement recommendations.
• Build and maintain program tracking infrastructure in a digital database
• Coordinate the expansion of the program to new suppliers
• Monitor geopolitical developments and commodity market signals relevant to critical minerals and materials, flagging events that may affect supplier risk levels or sourcing concentration.
• Support cross-functional escalations to Engineering and Procurement where material qualification, substitution, or dual-source approval is required.
• Contribute to executive-level reporting: synthesizing program status, risk reduction progress, and supplier response data into clear, decision-ready summaries. - **Only those lawfully authorized to work in the designated country associated with the position will be considered.**
- **Please note that all Position start dates and duration are estimates and may be reduced or lengthened based upon a client’s business needs and requirements.**
