Role Overview

We’re looking for a dynamic, commercially-minded Director of Sourcing & Production to lead end-to-end global sourcing strategy with a sharp focus on cost engineering, CPM optimization, and margin delivery. This role is equal parts strategist and operator—owning the roadmap to deliver the right product, at the right cost, at the right time.
