Category Sourcing Manager - Oakwood, United States - King's Hawaiian
Description
Joining King's Hawaiian makes you part of our `ohana (family). We are a family-owned business for over seventy years, respecting our roots while thinking about our future as we continue to grow and care for our customers and the communities we serve. Our `ohana members build an environment of inclusivity as they freely collaborate, pursue learning through curiosity, and explore innovation as critical thinkers.

Working under general supervision of the Head of Sourcing, the Category Sourcing Manager will be responsible for supporting the execution of category sourcing strategies within a select group defined by the Head of Sourcing developing cost analysis for such commodities, and the procurement of those direct materials in support of production and operation schedules. More specifically, this role requires both a strategic and tactical view of these responsibilities, thinking on a broad level about the best way to optimize cost, ensure supply continuity, network opportunities across King's Hawaiian and customer supply chains while supporting new product development. Direct material sourcing plays a critical in the core strategies of King's Hawaiian brand but also in creating, developing, and growing the Hawaiian foods category. It is essential to manage these categories with sophistication while working very closely with cross-functional counterparts in Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Engineering, Sales, and Marketing as well as with our external supply base. It is also incumbent on this role to be ahead of trends in the market and economic drivers, understand commodities, and develop analytic tools across such categories to maximize the growth potential for the company. Employees in this position may interact with their leader when needed to receive guidance and feedback. Some non-routine activities may require their leader's advance approval, but routine decisions within the general scope of the role may be made independently.
ESSENTIAL JOB DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
King's Hawaiian is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for our ohana.
