About the role
Strategic Sourcing Analyst - Heavy Equipment
Milwaukee, WI | $65,000 to $80,000 per year plus 8% bonus | Full-time
A growing division of a global heavy mobile equipment manufacturer is hiring a Strategic Sourcing Analyst in the Milwaukee area. The division has production orders booked a year out and a sourcing team that is expanding to support that demand. The role focuses on commodity research, data analysis, and sourcing tools, working under the Director of Sourcing and alongside senior sourcing analysts. This is a sourcing and purchasing role, not a demand planning role.
Schedule
Full-time, on-site. The standard week is 9-hour days Monday through Thursday and a 4-hour day on Friday, with no PTO required for the shorter Friday. Travel is 20% to 30%.
Compensation
$65,000 to $80,000 base salary, plus an 8% bonus.
What You'll Do:
You will research and analyze the commodities assigned to you, such as castings, metal fabrication, hydraulics, drivetrains, engines, and plastics. You will gather supplier and cost data so the sourcing team can make informed purchasing decisions. You will also validate commodity and product information and help build the tools and processes the team uses to evaluate suppliers and costs.
You will develop key performance metrics for areas of the supply chain as requested, then adjust them as process improvements take hold. You will create business process flow diagrams, compile your findings, and report recommendations to the Director of Sourcing and senior analysts. Travel to suppliers and company sites makes up 20% to 30% of the role.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
