Get Access To All JobsAt Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next.
We are looking for a senior sourcing leader to run a single, global Sourcing organization within Finance Procurement Operations. This is a key strategic role instrumental in optimizing our managed spend, managing the supplier base and enhancing relationships, and driving value across our global portfolio.
You will set the strategy, build the operating model, and lead the people who negotiate and manage Netflix's most important supplier relationships. Netflix is a consultative, opt-in environment, so this role succeeds by earning trust and showing value, not by mandate. You will bring a point of view on how sourcing should scale (category and supplier strategy, Business Partner enablement, better tools and AI), and you will be able to show leaders, in one consistent set of numbers, the value the team creates.
Responsibilities
- Set the vision and strategy for a unified Sourcing organization, including category strategies for the largest spend areas.
- Organize around categories. Build teams aligned to major spend areas with clear owners, strategies and supplier plans, moving the work from project-by-project to category- and supplier-level strategy, including master agreements for recurring suppliers.
- Lead and develop the team: Lead sourcing managers and sourcing leads across multiple regions; EMEA, APAC, LATAM, and UCAN. Build the leadership layer and career paths, and create a culture where deal knowledge is documented and shared so it outlives any one person.
- Run one operating model: a single front door, consistent sizing and engagement tiers, and one shared tracker across technology and non-technology sourcing.
- Establish one measure of value. Define and report a single methodology that covers savings (cost reduction and cost avoidance reported separately) and reach (spend under management), validated with FP&A, so leaders see one consistent story across the team.
- Own the biggest negotiations and supplier relationships. Personally lead or sponsor large, complex and strategic deals, including emerging areas such as GenAI vendors where there is little precedent.
- Grow sourcing engagement across Netflix. Partner with senior business and finance leaders, and design the thresholds, policy and incentives that make involving Sourcing the easy and expected choice.
- Scale through others. Build the program that equips Business Partners to lead smaller projects, and use tooling, automation and AI to cover spend the team cannot reach directly.
- Own sourcing technology and data. Lead the business case, selection and rollout of sourcing tools, intake and contract data capabilities, working with FinTech, Legal, FP&A and Security.
- Drive supplier performance: scorecards, business reviews and renewal strategy for strategic suppliers, so performance informs award and renewal decisions.
- Partner cross-functionally with Legal, Tax, Trade Compliance, Security, Supplier Management Operations, FP&A and technology teams, and all the organizations we support like Marketing, Comms, and Product and Tech to understand needs, upcoming projects, and obtain feedback on sourcing performance.
Qualities We're Looking For
- 15+ years of experience in strategic sourcing, procurement or category management, including 7+ years leading teams, with experience managing managers.
- Proven record of delivering measurable value through complex negotiations across both technology and non-technology categories.
- Experience building or transforming a sourcing function: category management, tiered engagement models, governance and policy.
- Credibility on measurement: you have defined a savings methodology that Finance trusts, and you can separate cost reduction from cost avoidance and tell one clear story to executives.
- Strong commercial judgment and executive-level negotiation skills. Hands-on enough to lead the largest deals yourself, and clear on when to complete a deal and when to negotiate directly.
- Ability to influence without authority. You can persuade senior stakeholders and change behavior in a culture that values autonomy and speed.
- Fluent with analytics and data: spend analysis, benchmarking, and building a business case for investment in tools and people.
- Experience selecting and implementing sourcing, contract or intake technology, and curiosity about how AI and automation change the work.
- A developer of leaders: you coach managers, build a bench and grow people into larger roles.
- Comfortable in ambiguous, fast-changing environments; self-directed, candid and collaborative, with excellent written and verbal communication.
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain Management, Finance or a related field; advanced degree a plus.
- Media and Entertainment or Technology industry experience preferred.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Sourcing Director Jobs
Align your degree to sourcing functions
H-1B eligibility requires your degree field to directly relate to the role. A supply chain, business, or engineering degree maps cleanly to Sourcing Director duties. If your degree is in an adjacent field, document how your coursework connects to vendor management and procurement strategy.
Target companies with active LCA histories
Use Migrate Mate to find employers who have filed LCAs for Sourcing Director or related procurement titles. Past filing behavior is the strongest signal that a company will sponsor again, cutting your search time significantly.
Distinguish strategic sourcing from general management
Sourcing Director roles must meet the specialty occupation standard. Frame your resume around technical sourcing skills like spend analysis, supplier negotiation, and category management rather than general leadership, which is harder to defend as requiring a specific degree field.
Verify prevailing wage tier before accepting an offer
Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above the DOL prevailing wage for your location and role. Run your title and metro area through the OFLC Wage Search before the offer stage so you can negotiate from an informed position.
Confirm O*NET classification with your employer early
Sourcing Director maps to procurement and purchasing management occupations in O*NET, which supports specialty occupation status. Ask your prospective employer's immigration counsel to confirm the occupational classification before the I-129 is drafted to avoid a Request for Evidence.
Plan for PERM if your employer pursues a green card
Many Sourcing Directors at large manufacturers or retailers move from H-1B to permanent residence through EB-2 or EB-3. PERM labor certification requires DOL to test the labor market, a process that can take 12 to 18 months, so start the conversation with your employer early in your H-1B tenure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Sourcing Director role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, in most cases. USCIS requires the position to normally require at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field. Sourcing Director roles grounded in supply chain management, procurement, or business qualify when the job description emphasizes technical skills like supplier evaluation, category strategy, or contract negotiation rather than generalist management duties.
Which visa types are realistic for a Sourcing Director seeking U.S. sponsorship?
H-1B is the most common path. If you're Australian, the E-3 visa is a faster option with no lottery and a cap that has never been exhausted. Canadian and Mexican nationals can explore the TN visa under the USMCA, though the profession must fit an eligible category. Senior candidates with international recognition may also qualify for an O-1A. All options except O-1A require employer sponsorship.
What degree background do U.S. employers expect for a sponsored Sourcing Director?
Most employers and USCIS adjudicators expect a bachelor's degree in supply chain management, business administration, industrial engineering, or a closely related field. An MBA strengthens the application, particularly for EB-2 green card filings. If your degree is in an unrelated field, documented professional experience in strategic sourcing can partially substitute, but expect closer scrutiny during adjudication.
How do I find employers who actively sponsor Sourcing Director roles?
Migrate Mate lists employers with verified LCA sponsorship history for procurement and sourcing titles, so you can focus your applications on companies that have already demonstrated willingness to sponsor. Targeting these employers shortens your search considerably compared to applying broadly and discovering sponsorship reluctance late in the process.
Can a Sourcing Director on H-1B change employers without losing status?
Yes. Under H-1B portability, you can start working for a new employer as soon as the new I-129 petition is filed with USCIS, without waiting for approval. The new employer must file before your current status expires. Because Sourcing Director is a senior role with longer hiring cycles, it's worth initiating the new employer's filing process well before your intended start date.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Sourcing Director jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
