Strategic Sourcing Manager, New Product Development
About the role
Lead the team. Shape the products. Influence what comes next. Ingersoll Rand is evolving its compressor portfolio, and sourcing will help determine how that future takes shape. As a Sourcing Leader within the Compression Systems & Services Americas Sourcing Organization, you’ll lead the people and supplier decisions that bring new products, redesigns, and Innovate to Value (i2V) initiatives from concept through launch. Your greatest impact starts with the team. You’ll develop an established group of sourcing professionals, giving them the coaching, tools, and confidence to make sound decisions and take ownership of their work. Through clear priorities, thoughtful delegation, and meaningful accountability, you’ll strengthen the team’s capabilities while removing barriers and keeping sourcing commitments aligned with project milestones. You’ll also lead selected projects yourself, combining people leadership with hands-on sourcing execution. Working closely with engineering, project and product management, operations, quality, finance, commodity teams, and suppliers, you’ll guide direct-material sourcing across an industrial compressor portfolio. The work spans components such as motors, drives, electronic controls, and heavy castings within a global supply base. You’ll set sourcing direction, develop supplier strategies, lead complex negotiations, and advance dual-sourcing and risk-mitigation efforts suited to a manufacturing environment with a broad product mix and lower production volumes. You’ll also help define how the team measures success: making progress visible, identifying schedule risks early, and connecting sourcing decisions to cost savings, product margins, quality, and supply assurance. As legacy products evolve and new platforms move toward production, your leadership will help turn sourcing strategy into measurable results. For a sourcing professional who enjoys developing people, solving complex supplier challenges, and seeing decisions take shape in real products, this is an opportunity to influence both how the team performs and what Ingersoll Rand brings to market next.
