ASC Global is a leading independent distributor of electronic components with over 25 years in the industry. As we continue to grow our global operations, we are looking for a Strategic Sourcing Specialist to join our office in Warsaw, Poland - hunting down hard-to-find components, building supplier relationships, and playing an active role in the fast-moving world of independent distribution.

This is a strong opportunity for a sourcing professional who already knows the game - short lead times, allocated parts, obsolete components, and the hustle it takes to find what others can't - and is ready to bring that mindset and network to a growing global team.

What You'll Be Doing

• Source electronic components across global supplier networks, including open-market and franchised suppliers
  

• Hunt down hard-to-find, obsolete, and allocated components under tight deadlines
  

• Identify availability, lead times, and pricing for requested parts across a global supplier base
  

• Build and maintain relationships with a global network of suppliers and manufacturers
  

• Work closely with sales teams to fulfill customer requirements quickly and accurately
  

• Negotiate pricing and terms with suppliers to secure the best possible outcomes
  

• Track market trends, component shortages, allocations, and pricing fluctuations
  

• Maintain accurate, up-to-date records of sourcing activity in the company's systems
  

• Collaborate with purchasing, quality, and operations teams to ensure smooth order fulfillment
  

• Respond quickly to time-sensitive sourcing requests in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
  

What We're Looking For

• 3–10 years of experience specifically in electronic components sourcing or procurement within the independent distribution industry
  

• A proven track record of hunting down hard-to-find, short lead-time, and allocated components
  

• An existing network of suppliers and industry contacts built through hands-on experience in the space
  

• The mindset to thrive in a fast-paced, competitive, deadline-driven environment
  

• Strong negotiation skills and a resourceful, problem-solving approach
  

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, Mandarin is a huge plus
  

• Strong attention to detail and accuracy
  

• Proficiency with CRM, ERP, or sourcing/reporting systems
  

• Ability to work well independently and as part of a team
  

• Must have the legal right to work in Poland without company visa sponsorship; relocation support may be considered for the right candidate
  

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary
  

• Opportunity to deepen industry expertise within a global distribution business
  

• Exposure to international purchasing, sales, and operations teams
  

• Clear path for growth within a stable, respected company with 25+ years of global operations
  

• Paid time off and company holidays
  

If you know how to hunt for hard-to-find parts, have the network to back it up, and thrive in a fast-paced independent distribution environment - we want to hear from you.
