We are looking for a Senior Sourcing Manager to lead strategic sourcing and supplier management for mechanical components and assemblies across Oura’s hardware programs. This role requires strong cross-functional partnership with Engineering, Operations, Quality, Finance, and Legal, as well as direct engagement with key mechanical suppliers. You will be accountable for building sourcing strategies that enable high-volume production readiness, supplier scalability, and cost/performance optimization—while supporting rapid development cycles and NPI execution.
This is a hybrid role requiring 2-3 days a week in our San Francisco office.
What you will do
- Lead mechanical sourcing for NPI and sustaining programs, including supplier selection, RFx execution, and award recommendations across key commodities (enclosures, stamped parts, CNC, injection molded parts, die cuts, soft goods)
- Drive end-to-end commercial negotiations, including pricing, tooling/NRE, payment terms, lead times, capacity commitments, and E&O/liability
- Partner with Engineering to align design requirements with supplier manufacturing capability, DFM feedback, and risk mitigation
- Lead supplier onboarding including capability assessments, audits, qualification plans, and readiness reviews
- Establish and manage supplier performance through KPIs (quality, delivery, cost, responsiveness) and structured business reviews (QBRs/MBRs)
- Build and maintain should-cost models for mechanical parts/assemblies and drive benchmarking to support negotiation strategy
- Own mechanical supply continuity planning including dual sourcing strategy, geographic risk, capacity constraints, and contingency plans
- Collaborate with Ops/CM partners to ensure mechanical supply supports prototype builds, ramp readiness, and mass production
- Support execution activities such as PO placement for proto/MP, supplier schedule alignment, and issue resolution during builds
- Improve sourcing processes by implementing scalable working practices, templates, and supplier governance
Requirements
We would love to have you on our team if you have:
- 7+ years of experience in consumer electronics and/or supply chain, including mechanical sourcing and supplier management
- Strong experience sourcing mechanical components such as CNC, injection molding, stamping, MIM, and surface finishing
- Demonstrated ability to lead complex programs with competing priorities and tight timelines
- Proven negotiation skills across unit cost, tooling/NRE, contracts, and supply agreements
- Experience supporting NPI builds (EVT/DVT/PVT or equivalent) through ramp and mass production
- Strong analytical skills including cost modeling, data-driven supplier evaluation, and scenario planning
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills with ability to influence cross-functionally
- Comfort operating in ambiguity and driving structure across multiple work streams
