Sourcing Manager

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 Sourcing Manager to join our team. This role is responsible for developing a data-driven procurement strategy, conferring with industry experts and internal stakeholders, setting and realizing cost savings goals, fostering long term strategic relationships with key suppliers, and ensuring that our current and future business needs are met.

You are an ideal candidate if you’re creative, hard-working, and a problem-solver, with excellent analytical skills and a high attention to detail. Sparx Hockey has the goal of becoming the technology of choice for every skate sharpening that happens around the world and we are well on our way! Lastly, our team strongly believes in the work hard/play hard approach to life. We offer a generous vacation and benefits package to all our team members.
