Sourcing Manager - Spices & Herbs - Us Market H/F Hubcycle

As a Sourcing Manager focused on upcycled spices and herbs in the U.S. market, you will play a key role in accelerating business growth by securing reliable and scalable sources of supply.

Leveraging internal tools and building relationships through trade shows, industry events, site visits, and outbound prospecting, you will identify and engage new partners. Your success will come from helping food and industrial companies recover value from surplus materials, side streams, and by-products, while unlocking new commercial opportunities.

This role requires strong interpersonal and communication skills, along with a solid understanding of industrial processes, food manufacturing, and supply chain best practices. Experience in B2B strategy and supplier development is essential.

You will focus on the early stages of the supplier lifecycle-specifically supplier mapping, qualification, prioritization, and product sampling. As the first point of contact, you will represent Hubcycle professionally and position the company for long-term partnerships, while maintaining a practical, relationship-driven approach with suppliers.

The role also involves managing negotiations, including positioning, deal structuring, and closing in complex B2B environments. A strong awareness of supplier constraints and operational realities will be critical to your success.

This position requires a proactive, solutions-oriented mindset and close cross-functional collaboration with internal teams (e.g., sales, operations, quality) to ensure customer satisfaction and business objectives are met.

As a subject matter expert, you will build and maintain a robust supplier network, ensure the quality and consistency of sourced materials, and contribute to the ongoing development of the portfolio of sourced products.

The team around you

You will be supported by the Head of Sourcing for the sourcing technical aspects and the Global Category Manager for the product specifications and technical knowledge. The team around you inclueds category experts who will provide you with all the knowledge and direction you need to be fully effective in a short period of time. Leveraging your teammates in sales, quality, product development, logistics, or finance will also be key to success in this role.
