At IQM, we build world-leading quantum computers for the well-being of humankind. We design systems to tackle computational challenges beyond the practical limits of classical machines. Our work sits at the edge of science and engineering. It's complex, demanding, and deeply collaborative. We turn deep research into reliable, full-stack systems that drive discoveries in fields like medicine, energy, and technology, reshaping how the world computes.
Join the team that gives quantum a heartbeat.
We are looking for a Sourcing Manager to join our Sourcing and Procurement team. In this role, you will help ensure that IQM’s critical supplier network can support the growth of our quantum business reliably, sustainably, and cost effectively.
You will manage selected sourcing categories and work closely with engineering, production, quality, and operations teams. Your work will directly impact supply continuity, supplier performance, cost competitiveness, and risk management across business-critical technologies and components.
Develop and implement sourcing and category strategies aligned with business and technology goals
Manage supplier relationships, commercial discussions, and contract negotiations across assigned categories
Work closely with internal stakeholders to balance cost, quality, delivery reliability, and supply chain risks
Monitor supplier performance and proactively identify improvement opportunities related to delivery, quality, ESG, and cost competitiveness
Support sourcing activities for business-critical suppliers, including electronics, external control electronics, and quantum component related suppliers
Contribute to supplier scaling, risk management, and sourcing process development as IQM continues to grow globally
Support smooth order-to-delivery processes and help resolve operational sourcing challenges when needed
Use data and KPIs to support sourcing decisions, supplier development, and continuous improvement initiatives
Ensure suppliers meet quality, regulatory, and ESG requirements
Relevant degree in business, engineering, supply chain management, or a related field
Extensive experience in sourcing, procurement, or supply chain management
Experience working with technical products, electronics, microelectronics, manufacturing, or similar industries
Experience working in a fast-growing technology company or international environment
Strong communication and stakeholder collaboration skills across technical and business teams
Structured and proactive way of working with the ability to deliver in a changing environment
Good problem-solving skills combined with a hands-on mindset
Confidence working independently while also contributing actively as part of a team
Fluent English skills, written and spoken
Seen as beneficial:
Familiarity with supplier risk management, ESG requirements, or quality driven sourcing
Experience supporting complex or highly specialized supply chains
Strong analytical skills and experience using data to support sourcing decisions
Full-stack quantum computing: From quantum hardware to software layers and beyond, we build across the full-stack.
High-performance playground: We aim high, and we know sustainable performance only works when life outside work does too—hybrid setups, flexible hours.
Never the smartest: Expect to learn constantly. You won't always be the smartest person in the room, and that's the point.
Approachable leadership: Flat hierarchy, direct access. Feel free to approach any leaders. They're friendlier than they look!
The sweet spot: Big enough to matter. Small enough to move fast. Growing between a startup and a corporation. We’re in the phase where top performers get noticed.
Bigger than IQM: Our people build know-how for the entire quantum ecosystem. We publish papers, run hackathons, and help shape a market that's still being defined.
