Head of Strategic Sourcing

Founding Head of Strategic Sourcing & COGS Optimization   GNO Partners works with about 500 Amazon brands doing more than $1B in combined Amazon sales. We're launching a new division focused on one thing: reducing our clients' Cost of Goods. We're looking for a senior sourcing operator to build it with us from zero.
What you'll own   Working directly with our CEO and our brands, you will:
Analyze COGS and build should-cost models to find where brands are overpaying
Negotiate with current factories, benchmark alternatives and run RFQs
Improve payment terms and MOQs, and find value-engineering savings
Qualify new suppliers and reduce supply risk
Build GNO's methodology and SOPs, then hire and lead the team under you
This is for you if     You've personally negotiated with factories, ideally in China / Asia
You can show savings you drove yourself, with real numbers
You've worked on OEM / ODM consumer products, ideally across several brands or categories
You want to build something from zero, hands-on
Experience at an Amazon aggregator, sourcing company or CPG brand is a big plus
This is not for you if     Your background is mainly logistics, inventory, planning or indirect procurement (software, services, facilities)
You've managed big budgets but rarely negotiated with a factory yourself
Why this role is different   You're not joining a department. You're building one. We already have the clients, the relationships and the distribution. You'll build the system that can save hundreds of brands millions of dollars, and become a founding leader of a new business unit inside GNO.
