Oxus America is a privately owned engineering, manufacturing, and services company based in Auburn Hills, Michigan. The Company specializes in products that serve the medical equipment, automotive, and other industrial markets in the U.S. and globally through affiliated companies in the Europe and Asia-Pacific regions. Oxus has grown significantly since its founding in 2010 and is in the process of identifying motivated, dynamic team members to help drive the next phase of expansion.
The Supply Chain team within Oxus is looking to enhance its support of internal and external customers with the addition of a Sourcing Manager. Reporting to the Director of Supply Chain and working alongside the Purchasing Manager, the Sourcing Manager is responsible for ensuring suppliers provide the optimum level of price, quality, delivery, and customer service to Oxus and its customers.
Oxus has a pipeline of new projects for which sourcing at a more advanced stage of the product development cycle is required. A primary focus of this role is to provide process leadership, category consultation, and direct management of sourcing events that ensure selection of the most competitive suppliers for each application on behalf of cross-functional stakeholders. This includes the conducting of competitive analyses, identification of alternate suppliers, facilitation of RFPs/RFQs, negotiation of contracts, and other support as needed. Upon supplier selection, the Sourcing Manager will work in conjunction with Engineering, Sales, and Operations to drive on-time delivery of equipment, tooling, and components in support production launch and customer requirements.
In addition to advanced sourcing and new product launch engagement, the Sourcing Manager will be responsible for performance of the existing supply base for all direct and indirect supplies, materials, and services. This includes execution of the Oxus supplier scorecard process and the identification and implementation of high-impact value creation opportunities, including piece price gap reduction, operational efficiencies, management of raw material headwinds, payment terms adjustments, inventory optimization, and others.
The Sourcing Manager will not have direct reports initially. However, with expected company growth, there will be potential to add subordinate staff as Oxus builds out its overall supply chain capabilities and infrastructure. As such, this is an excellent career development opportunity for an upwardly mobile supply management professional within a strong and growing business.
