We are looking for a dynamic supply chain professional for the position of **Commodity Manager**.

- Source, qualify, and manage a global portfolio of contract manufacturing capabilities to support high-mix, low-to-medium-volume production.
- Support management of a highly configurable product portfolio with hundreds or thousands of SKUs.
- Share industry knowledge proactively with the Make team and the broader organization.
- Help mentor team members; encourage contribution-motivated and value creation behaviors, resulting in a highly motivated and high performing team that contributes immensely to achieving GMS’ vision.
- Model the company’s core values of Integrity, Stewardship & Compliance, Principled Entrepreneurship®, Transformation, Knowledge, Humility, Respect, and Self-Actualization.

**Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)**
- Experience in sourcing and managing contract manufacturers
- Experience working in a designer or manufacturer of electric motors, actuation components, or electronics/electrical components
- Knowledge of electric motor components and manufacturing processes
- Able to frequently visit our Langley, BC facility as needed
- Able to travel internationally to visit suppliers (~25%)

**What Will Put You Ahead**
- Post secondary education in mechanical, mechatronics, or electrical engineering
- Experience in permanent magnets motor supply chain is highly preferred
- Successful track record in engaging and managing contract manufacturers in a high-mix, low-volume box-build capacity
- Experience supplying products globally to markets such as automated assembly, robotics, semiconductor, or automated packaging equipment
- Experience in precision gears and motion technologies
- Experience working with complex engineered hardware products
- Experience building and ramping up industrial products in a global supply chain
- Demonstrated success in scaling-up an organization from low to high volume manufacturing
- Strong influencer and collaborator
- Highly entrepreneurial and solutions oriented
- Strong presentation and communication skills
