Sparx Hockey was founded in 2013 to solve the greatest unmet need in ice skating sports (e.g., hockey and figure skating) - maintaining sharp skates. Today, Sparx is relied upon for high-quality skate sharpening by families, teams, retailers, rinks, and professional skate sharpeners around the world. In addition to Sparx Hockey’s exceptional products and record-setting growth, we also pride ourselves on being a fun place to work. Although it’s not an employment prerequisite, many of our employees still play, coach, and parent hockey players. We do more than just build great hockey products; we use them ourselves. When we’re not working hard or playing hockey our team can be found having a blast at our annual summer outing and impromptu barbecues that fill in the rest of the Sparx annual event calendar. Our global headquarters are in Acton, MA and are home to our R&D, Operations, Marketing, Sales, and Finance teams as well as our production lines and warehouse/distribution center.
We are seeking a Director of Global Sourcing to join our leadership team. This role is responsible for executing our long-term, data-driven global procurement strategy, alignment with stakeholders, and establishing enterprise-wide cost-reduction and risk-mitigation benchmarks. You will design and orchestrate a resilient, scalable supplier network, direct multi-million dollar vendor portfolios, and support hyper-growth business targets. You are an ideal candidate if you are a visionary, decisive leader, and an analytical strategist with a proven track record of scaling supply chain infrastructures.
