Sourcing Manager, Ingredient Innovation

• 5+ years of experience in ingredient sourcing, procurement, or food innovation within CPG, food service, or a related industry — with a demonstrated track record of managing supplier relationships and commercial negotiations.
• Commercial Acumen: You are comfortable across the full range of supplier commercial terms — pricing, contracts, volume structures, exclusivity, and partnership arrangements. You know what good looks like and you can negotiate to get there.
• End-to-End Process Ownership: You have owned complex, multi-stakeholder processes before and you know how to keep them moving. New ingredient onboarding touches FSQA, Procurement, Operations, Planning, and Marketing — you coordinate across all of them without losing momentum.
• FSQA Familiarity: A working understanding of food safety and quality assurance frameworks — SQF, HACCP, supplier audits, or equivalent. You know what needs sign-off and you do not skip steps.
• Cross-Functional Fluency: You work effectively across Sourcing, Marketing, FSQA, Operations, and Planning. You get alignment without needing to own every decision, and you know when to escalate versus when to just solve it.
• 4-year degree in Business, Supply Chain, Food Science, or a related field.

You are:

• A Deal-Maker: The commercial side of supplier relationships is where you thrive. You understand the full scope of a supplier agreement, know what terms matter, and negotiate with confidence.
• An Owner: You take a new ingredient from first supplier contact to live SKU and you do not let it drift. You track the dependencies, manage the handoffs, and close things out.
• A Connector: You build strong relationships — with suppliers and with the internal teams you need to get a new ingredient over the line. People want to work with you because you make their jobs easier.
• A Navigator: You know how to move fast inside a complex organization. You do not bypass process — you learn it well enough to find the fastest legitimate path through it.
