This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, takes initiative without waiting for perfect information, and can comfortably balance urgent execution with longer-term strategic planning — all while owning relationships with a small number of highly strategic, high-spend suppliers.

Responsibilities

• Establish relationships and take ownership of Mytra’s steel and structural suppliers, including mills, service centers, and fabricators. Assess current pricing, lead times, capabilities, and risks, and drive near-term cost, quality, or delivery improvements where needed.
• Build and execute a global steel commodity strategy — including sourcing approach, supplier segmentation, negotiation frameworks, and capacity planning — aligned with Mytra’s construction and deployment roadmap.
• Partner closely with engineering, operations, and construction teams to ensure parts are designed for manufacturability across roll forming, press brake, laser cutting, and stamping processes. Influence design decisions based on cost, lead time, and supplier capability.
• Develop deep, long-term partnerships with strategic, high-spend suppliers. Own executive-level relationships, joint roadmapping, capacity investments, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Work with finance, operations, and project teams to forecast steel demand, manage price volatility, and align procurement decisions with project schedules and capital plans.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in strategic sourcing or supply chain management within construction, warehouse, or industrial sectors.
• You’re very comfortable with procurement of steel as a commodity, and have hands-on experience managing pricing, supply risk, and negotiations in volatile markets.
• You have experience working within a building, warehouse, or industrial construction environment, and understand how structural steel decisions affect schedules, costs, and on-site execution.
• You’re familiar with roll forming, press brake, laser cutting, and stamping manufacturing processes, and can reason about design tradeoffs, tolerances, and supplier capabilities.
• You’re comfortable owning total supplier relationships — including commercial terms, performance management, and long-term strategic alignment — especially with high-spend, mission-critical partners.
• You take initiative naturally, operate well with ambiguity and shifting priorities, and don’t need a fully formed process to start making progress.
• You enjoy balancing urgent, tactical work with longer-term strategic thinking, and can context-switch without losing sight of the bigger picture.
