Quick overview of this role
This is not a transactional purchasing or PO-processing role.
A firm in Indianapolis is seeking a Strategic Sourcing Specialist to join a fast-growing specialty chemicals organization with a global supplier footprint. This is a high-impact, hands-on role focused on raw-material sourcing, supplier strategy, cost analysis, and market intelligence.
The right person will act as a center of excellence for select raw materials - bringing analytical horsepower, vendor curiosity, and the confidence to influence decisions across sourcing, logistics, technical, and leadership teams.
If you enjoy understanding why materials cost what they cost, where supply risk lives, and how to build smarter sourcing strategies, this role will feel like a step up.
What you'll be responsible for
Leading strategic sourcing efforts for raw materials used across multiple business units
Researching, vetting, and onboarding new domestic and international suppliers
Supporting supplier negotiations through cost modeling, benchmarking, and market analysis
Tracking commodity trends, tariffs, and cost drivers that impact pricing and availability
Preparing sourcing recommendations, cost breakdowns, and supplier comparisons for leadership
Acting as a go-to resource for specific materials, markets, or supplier categories
Collaborating cross-functionally with logistics, technical teams, product management, and executives
Supporting forecasting initiatives and providing market intelligence tied to supply and pricing risk
What we're looking for
Must-haves:
Experience in strategic sourcing or purchasing of raw materials, chemicals, or industrial goods
Demonstrated ability to evaluate suppliers, analyze costs, and support sourcing decisions
Strong analytical skills related to pricing, cost structures, and landed-cost considerations
Comfort picking up the phone to work directly with suppliers
Ability to operate independently in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment
Willingness to work on-site in the Indianapolis area
Nice-to-haves:
Exposure to specialty chemicals, additives, polymers, or advanced materials
International sourcing experience
Familiarity with tariffs, Incoterms, or global supply-chain dynamics
ERP experience (any modern system; flexibility matters more than brand)
Why this role is different
This is a strategic role, not clerical purchasing
You'll influence sourcing direction, not just execute orders
High visibility to senior leadership and cross-functional teams
Opportunity to help build and shape sourcing capability as the company grows
Entrepreneurial culture where people pitch in and “that's not my job” doesn't fly
Compensation & details
Competitive base salary aligned with experience
Target annual bonus opportunity
Full-time, on-site role with long-term growth potential
$49k-78k yearly est. 1d ago
