This is where you come in, as a Senior Manager, Global Sourcing, you’ll connect global category strategy to regional execution, maximizing product margins, strengthening our supply base, and leading sourcing operations across North America and Vietnam.

Our Global Sourcing team connects Article’s category strategy with the regional teams and vendor partners who bring our products to life. The Senior Manager, Global Sourcing serves as a Single Point of Contact (SPOC) for Article's internal customers, including Category Management, Product Design, Technical Product Development and Quality Assurance, and provides leadership to the Sourcing operations teams in North America and Vietnam.

We are currently hiring for two Senior Managers, Global Sourcing.
