The posting

About Re:Build

At Re:Build, our mission is to ensure the next generation of important products are made, at scale, in America. We are laying the foundation for a better future for our customers, employees, and communities by revitalizing America's manufacturing base and creating meaningful jobs across the country, including in historically deindustrialized regions.

We operate an advanced, end-to-end manufacturing platform that partners with industrial companies and innovators to take products from first concept to full-scale production in critical verticals including aerospace and defense, electrification, medical, energy and environment, and robotics and automation.

The way we operate is as important as the work we do. It's guided by The Re:Build Way, 16 principles that shape how we collaborate with each other, partner with our customers and vendors, and contribute to the communities where we operate. (link to The Re:Build Way principles)

Who We Are Looking For

We are seeking an experienced Category Manager, Electronics to lead strategic sourcing for electronic and electromechanical components across Re Manufacturing's family of companies. In this role, you will develop sourcing strategies, build supplier partnerships, and help ensure our businesses have reliable access to the components they need to support manufacturing operations and continued growth.

You bring a strong background in strategic sourcing, category management, and supplier negotiations, ideally within electronics or advanced manufacturing. You understand how to balance cost, quality, lead times, and supply chain risk while developing long-term relationships with manufacturers and distributors. You're comfortable navigating complex supplier agreements, analyzing data, and collaborating with engineering, operations, and business leaders to make informed sourcing decisions.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a critical sourcing category, influence supply chain strategy across multiple businesses, and help shape how Re approaches procurement. You'll also collaborate with our Digital and AI teams to explore how automation and emerging technologies can improve sourcing decisions, supplier performance, and overall efficiency.

What You Get To Do

  • Develop and lead the long-term sourcing strategy for electronic and electromechanical components, including wire and cable, connectors, terminals, sensors, printed circuit boards, and batteries.
  • Build and lead strategic relationships with component manufacturers and distributors to improve cost, quality, availability, lead times, and supply chain flexibility.
  • Lead supplier negotiations and establish long-term agreements covering pricing, delivery commitments, inventory programs, and commercial terms.
  • Identify opportunities to reduce costs, improve supply continuity, and mitigate supplier and contractual risks across Re businesses.
  • Partner with engineering and operations teams to develop sourcing solutions for specialized components, long-lead materials, and evolving manufacturing requirements.
  • Evaluate sourcing strategies involving SKU rationalization, minimum order quantities (MOQs), tooling investments, and non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs.
  • Establish and monitor supplier performance metrics, including on-time delivery, material availability, and inventory efficiency, to drive accountability and continuous improvement.
  • Collaborate across functions, including Engineering, Operations, Finance, Legal, and Supply Chain, to align sourcing strategies with business priorities.
  • Explore AI and automation opportunities in partnership with Re's Digital and AI teams to improve supplier selection, sourcing decisions, and working capital management.
  • Provide strategic guidance on electronics sourcing initiatives, helping business leaders make informed decisions that support long-term growth.

What You Bring To The Team

  • 7+ years of experience in strategic sourcing, procurement, or category management, preferably with electronic or electromechanical components.
  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Finance, or a related field.
  • Experience developing category strategies, negotiating contracts, and building strong supplier partnerships.
  • Knowledge of electronic components, including wire and cable, connectors, printed circuit boards, sensors, or similar products.
  • Ability to evaluate supplier performance, manage supply chain risks, and identify cost-saving opportunities.
  • Experience with ERP systems, contract management tools, and data-driven decision-making.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work across Engineering, Operations, Finance, and Supply Chain teams.
  • Ability to balance competing priorities, solve problems, and drive results in a dynamic environment.
  • Interest in using AI, automation, and emerging technologies to improve sourcing processes.
  • Willingness to travel domestically 10–25% as needed.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience leading electronics categories, including wire harness components, connectors, printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs), or other specialized electromechanical components.
  • Experience in regulated manufacturing environments, particularly aerospace, defense, or government contracting.
  • Familiarity with FAR/DFARS, ITAR/EAR, and contractual flow-down requirements.
  • Master's degree or MBA.
  • Professional certifications such as CSCP, CPIM, or CPSM.
