- Manage end-to-end sourcing activities, including RFQ development, supplier selection, negotiations, and contract execution, ensuring optimal cost, quality, and delivery performance
- Oversee the supply chain lifecycle for new products, from concept through FAI approval and production launch, ensuring readiness, risk mitigation, and schedule adherence
- Establish and develop a reliable and competitive supplier base, including supplier audits, evaluations, onboarding, and performance management to support both new products and local supply needs
- Ensure accuracy and integrity of sourcing and material data within ERP systems (SAP/MRP), including BOM management, to enable effective planning, production scheduling, and local team execution
- Drive cost competitiveness through should-cost analysis, negotiations, and sourcing strategies, while maintaining quality and supply continuity
- Identify and mitigate supply risks by developing alternate sourcing strategies, managing capacity constraints, and ensuring continuity for critical components
- Provide technical and operational leadership leveraging expertise in manufacturing processes, BOM structures, production scheduling, and supply chain systems to guide decisions and resolve complex challenges
- Enable local supply chain teams for success by delivering robust sourcing frameworks, reliable supply channels, and cost-effective component strategies
EDUCATION, SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

Sourcing Jobs in Ohio: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a sourcing in Ohio?
Sourcing roles in Ohio do not require a state-issued license, but most employers expect a bachelor's degree in supply chain management, business administration, or a related field. A Certified Professional in Supply Management credential from the Institute for Supply Management or a Certified Supply Chain Professional designation strengthens your candidacy. Ohio universities including Ohio State, Miami University, and University of Cincinnati offer supply chain programs that feed directly into entry-level sourcing roles.
Which companies hire sourcings in Ohio?
Ohio sourcing roles are posted by Kroger, Augmentis, and Signet Jewelers and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Ohio's dense mix of Fortune 500 headquarters, large manufacturers, and major health systems creates consistent sourcing demand across the state year-round.
Which Ohio cities have the most sourcing jobs?
Cincinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland lead for sourcing openings in Ohio. Columbus draws the most volume as the state capital and home to major corporate headquarters in retail, insurance, and healthcare, while Cleveland's manufacturing base and Cincinnati's consumer goods and logistics sector generate strong and consistent sourcing hiring across all three metros.
Are there remote sourcing jobs in Ohio?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 68% of sourcing openings tied to Ohio are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting how much of the work involves vendor communication, data analysis, and contract management that can be done off-site.

The most realistic entry path is a purchasing coordinator or procurement analyst role, which Ohio manufacturers, health systems, and retailers regularly hire for without requiring deep sourcing experience. Large Ohio employers such as Cardinal Health, Nationwide, and Honda Manufacturing of America run rotational or associate programs that welcome early-career candidates. A supply chain internship from an Ohio university program, combined with an entry-level certification from the Institute for Supply Management, gives candidates a concrete edge when applying.
