• Activate your existing manufacturer network to shortlist and qualify partners for our SDK hardware needs within the first 60 days. • Lead negotiations end-to-end — pricing, MOQ, payment terms, IP protection, exclusivity clauses — with full deal autonomy up to defined thresholds. Negotiation outcome is the primary measure of this role. • Analyze supplier proposals at depth: commercial terms, technical specifications, BOM cost structures, capability gaps. Use AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, or equivalent) to accelerate spec comparison, identify red flags in offers, and benchmark across multiple bids. • Drive supplier due diligence: capability audits, factory visits, sample qualification, compliance checks. • Build and operate Infatica's China supplier intelligence system — a structured tracker of meetings, commercial offers, technical specs, supplier scorecards, and market statistics. Each interaction must produce structured data, not just notes. • Synthesize market statistics from your own activity: pricing trends, capacity signals, lead-time benchmarks, supplier reliability cores. Deliver quarterly intelligence briefings to HQ leadership. • Be the single point of contact between Infatica HQ and all Chinese partners — translating, escalating, and unblocking across time zones. • Monitor production quality and delivery; intervene early before issues become escalations. • Maintain a documented, transferable supplier database — relationships, terms, performance — so institutional knowledge stays with the company.
