Job Description

Headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, Moultrie ( www.moultrie.com) is the leader in game feeders and cellular camera innovation, building products used by hunters, property owners, and others for real-time remote monitoring. We take pride in developing deep user understanding, obsessing about the details, and going the extra mile to show our users we love them. Moultrie is customer-driven – hardware, software, marketing, and customer success teams collaborate to deliver a quality user experience.

We are guided by the following principles: Customer Obsession.; Excellence is the Standard.; Bias for Action.; Act Boldly.; Deliver Results.; Hire and Develop the Best.; Be Curious and Learn.; Win as a Team

You will own the commercial relationship with our final assembly and test (FATP) CM/ODM partners, plus sourcing strategy, supplier selection, negotiation, and supply assurance for our most strategic commodities and modules across cellular cameras, feeders, and connected devices — all built through Asia-based ODM/JDM partners.

We have solid sources in place today. Your job is to build on them: develop direct relationships with the manufacturers behind our most critical components, and add resiliency where we do not have it yet. This is a senior individual-contributor role that partners closely with Engineering, Operations, Finance, and external suppliers.

Job Responsibilities

Commodity strategy

  • End-to-end sourcing for our highest-spend and highest-risk commodities — sole-source CPUs, memory, RF modules, PIRs, and allocated or long-lead parts — from supplier identification through award and performance management.
  • A commodity technology roadmap that anticipates component trends before they constrain our product roadmap, and the Approved Vendor List for strategic commodities.

Supplier and FATP partnerships

  • Pricing, capacity, and commercial terms with ODM/JDM partners and strategic suppliers, including multi-year agreements covering quality, IP protection, tooling ownership, and end-of-life provisions.
  • Contract management end to end: structured RFI/RFQ processes, and NDAs, master agreements, and pricing and capacity agreements in place before business starts.
  • Relationships with high-value suppliers that unlock co-development, secure allocation, and bring their best engineering talent to our products.

Cost

  • Should-cost and bottoms-up models, managing fully burdened cost — tooling, logistics, yield, scrap, duties, end-of-life — not just unit price.
  • Year-over-year structural cost-out through value engineering, competitive sourcing, and influence on design decisions.
  • Cost forecasting for managed spend, including commodity, FX, and logistics exposure, with a rolling outlook for Finance.

Supply risk and resilience

  • Dual-source and geographic diversification strategies, with second sources qualified ahead of need.
  • Allocation, last-time buys, and end-of-life transitions for long-lead and memory-exposed parts, so availability never gates a launch or a selling season.
  • The supply-risk framework: capacity forecasting, contingency plans, and early escalation on supplier financial health.

New product introduction

  • Supplier involvement across every phase — concept, EVT, DVT, PVT, ramp, and sustaining — with real influence on design for manufacturability, cost, and supply.
  • Partnership with our on-site ODM/JDM resource to diagnose and fix component-driven yield and quality issues with ground truth from the line.

Job Requirements

  • 10+ years in procurement, sourcing, or supply management, ideally in consumer electronics, including ownership of high-spend or high-risk commodities and complex multiparty negotiations.
  • A track record of negotiating favorable NDAs, master agreements, and pricing and capacity agreements.
  • Experience sourcing through Asia-based CMs, ODMs, or JDMs, with real fluency in process, yield, and DFM trade-offs.
  • Hands-on should-cost modeling and fully burdened, landed-cost analysis.
  • Familiarity with core device components: cellular modules, Bluetooth, GPS, image sensors, memory (NAND, DDR4, eMMC), PIRs, PCBA, and RF/antenna.
  • Working knowledge of tariffs, country-of-origin sourcing, and what they mean for cost, lead time, and resilience.
  • A bachelor's degree in Engineering (Electrical preferred), Supply Chain, Business, or a related field, and a willingness to travel internationally.

Essential Job Function

  • Our riskiest commodities never gate a launch or a demand forecast, and we never air freight to cover a supply gap.
  • Structural cost-down delivered year over year and validated against should-cost.
  • Every sole-source and allocated part has a qualified, contract-ready second source.
  • Master agreements with favorable terms are signed with every strategic supplier and FATP partner before business begins.

We are an equal opportunity employer and comply with all applicable federal, state, and local fair employment practices laws. We strictly prohibit and do not tolerate discrimination against employees, applicants, or any other covered persons because of race, color, sex, pregnancy status, age, national origin or ancestry, ethnicity, religion, creed, sexual orientation, gender identity, status as a veteran, and basis of disability or any other federal, state or local protected class.
