Senior Director, EE Sourcing and Materials

At Sonos we want to create the ultimate listening experience for our customers and know that it starts by listening to each other. As part of the Sonos team, you’ll collaborate with people of all styles, skill sets, and backgrounds to realize our vision while fostering a community where everyone feels included and empowered to do the best work of their lives.

The Sr. Director, EE Sourcing & Materials will lead Sonos' electronics component sourcing strategy and global materials management organization, bringing two critical supply chain functions under a unified leadership role.

This role owns the end-to-end lifecycle of electronic components — from strategic sourcing and supplier relationships through global material planning, availability, and end-of-production management — ensuring Sonos has the right components, at the right cost, in the right place, at the right time to support NPI programs and mass production.

The successful candidate will have deep technical fluency in electronic components and sub-systems, a proven track record of building and leading global teams, and the executive presence to represent supply chain interests in cross‑functional and supplier‑facing settings.

This role can be based in Boston, Mass or with the flexibility to work remotely in North America.

Travel to Sonos office locations and travel both domestically and internationally will be a requirement to effectively manage both internal business relationships and our global supplier partners.
