Sourcer Jobs in Edison, NJ

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.
