Sourcer Jobs in Delaware

A Sourcer in the logistics industry plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of the supply chain. Their job involves identifying, evaluating and securing suppliers, negotiating contracts, and managing supplier relationships to maximize value and ensure the continual availability of goods and services. They work closely with a variety of stakeholders, including operations, procurement, and finance, to align sourcing strategies with the company's overall objectives. Sourcers are also responsible for monitoring market trends, researching potential suppliers, and conducting risk assessments to avoid disruption in the supply chain.

Sourcers need excellent negotiation, analytical, and project management skills. They should also be proficient in using logistics and supply chain software. A bachelor's degree in business, logistics, or a related field is typically required, and certifications such as the Certified Professional in Supply Management (CPSM) or Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) can be beneficial. Prior to becoming a Sourcer, a person might have roles such as a Procurement Analyst, Purchasing Agent, or Supply Chain Coordinator. These positions provide valuable experience in supplier management, contract negotiation, and logistics, which are all important aspects of the Sourcer's role.
