Role Description Miss Jones Baking Co. is growing fast and looking for a Strategic Sourcing Specialist to evolve structure, accountability, and cost discipline to their supplier base. You will own the cost and supply continuity side of Miss Jones' active portfolio, running RFPs and RFQs, building the savings pipeline, and holding suppliers to a real standard across ingredients, packaging, and co-manufacturing. This is not a transactional buying role. You will be doing meaningful strategic work from day one, with full accountability for identifying cost-down opportunities, reducing single-source risk, and improving service levels across a fast-growing, innovation-heavy portfolio. Responsibilities: - Full cost and supply optimization of the active product portfolio including ingredients, packaging, and co-manufacturing. - End-to-end RFP and RFQ processes: cost-downs, dual-sourcing, and supplier consolidation. - Identification of alternative suppliers and co-manufacturers to reduce landed cost and lead time. - Building and maintaining the cost-down savings pipeline with clear tracking against targets. - Supplier scorecards and annual business reviews for all active suppliers. - Clean handoff coordination with the Sourcing Manager as new items graduate from development into the active portfolio. - Support the 2027 ERP implementation from a supplier master and procurement data perspective. - Total cost of ownership (TCO) modeling: going beyond unit price to quantify the full landed cost of each supplier relationship, including freight, minimum order quantities, lead time risk, and quality exposure. - Category strategy development: building a documented sourcing strategy for each major spend category that outlines supply risk, market dynamics, and the multi-year plan for managing cost and continuity. Qualifications - 3–6 years of strategic sourcing or procurement experience in CPG, food manufacturing, or a similarly fast-moving environment. - Hands-on experience running RFPs and RFQs, negotiating contracts, and managing supplier relationships, not just coordinating them. - Strong analytical instincts and the ability to look at cost data and quickly find where the opportunity is. - Comfort using Excel for planning and Asana for project management. - Experience managing co-manufacturing supplier relationships is a strong plus. - Exposure to major retail customers such as Walmart is a plus but not required. - Ability to travel up to 25% of the time to supplier sites and production facilities. Benefits - Health, Dental, and Vision - 401(k) - Unlimited PTO
