- 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
- 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 the country of the office applied to (Tamarac, Florida / Warsaw, Poland / London, UK) without company visa sponsorship; relocation support may be considered for the right candidate
What We Offer
- 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
- Health, dental, and vision insurance (location-dependent)
- Paid time off and company holidays
