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.
