Meet the team:

Dexcom is seeking an accomplished leader to head its Global Direct Materials Strategic Sourcing organization. This executive will shape and execute sourcing strategies across critical direct material categories, build strategic supplier partnerships, and help ensure supply continuity, quality, innovation, and cost competitiveness in support of global growth. The ideal candidate brings deep experience across procurement, engineering, and manufacturing environments, along with the ability to lead complex supplier ecosystems spanning traditional suppliers, contract manufacturers, and toll manufacturing relationships. This is a highly visible leadership opportunity for someone who can influence across functions, drive transformational change, and position the organization for long-term scale, resilience, and value creation.

This role oversees a broad range of supplier relationship models.

• Traditional supplier relationships: suppliers produce components on their own assets and retain responsibility for product or component design and process control; the sourcing leader manages the commercial relationship with accountability for quality, service, and cost.
• Contract manufacturing relationships: suppliers produce components or finished goods on their own assets while Dexcom defines the product design and manufacturing requirements. In these engagements, the sourcing leader must align commercial strategy with cross-functional execution across R&D, Engineering, Manufacturing, and Quality.
• Toll manufacturing relationships: Dexcom develops the manufacturing process and invests in supplier-based assets. Here, the sourcing leader must operate with a general manager mindset, balancing commercial, operational, technical, and financial considerations to optimize total business performance across the relationship.

Where you come in:

• You will lead the global direct materials strategic sourcing organization, including category management and new product introduction sourcing, with accountability for category strategies, supplier selection, supplier performance, and long-term supply continuity across critical spend areas.
• You own sourcing strategy and execution for a complex global supplier network spanning electronics, assemblies, sterilization and converting, wires, metals, chemicals, plastics, packaging, and related direct material categories.
• You drive year-over-year value creation through cost savings, productivity improvements, working capital optimization, and supplier-enabled innovation while balancing quality, service, risk, and continuity of supply.
• You develop and implement enterprise sourcing processes and governance, including category strategies, requirements definition, RFQ/RFP standards, sourcing recommendations, contract management, and supplier performance reviews.
• You lead complex commercial negotiations and global contracts that leverage business scale, geographic footprint, and growth plans while addressing risk, capacity, and total cost of ownership.
• You partner closely with R&D, Engineering, Manufacturing Operations, Quality, Finance, and Legal to engage sourcing early in product development and ensure strategic supplier involvement across the product lifecycle.
• You lead the NPI sourcing team to support the product development process, supplier strategy for development programs, pre-transfer sourcing execution, and effective transition into volume p
