Job Summary:

The Sourcing Lead owns vendor
relationships end-to-end — finding, qualifying, onboarding, and managing
suppliers across both onshore (Canadian/North American) and offshore sourcing
channels. This is a role for someone who treats supplier relationships as a
strategic asset, not just a transaction, and who can move fast without cutting
corners on quality, cost, or reliability.

Salary: $65,000 - $85,000 per annum

Location: in-office position at our Oakville, ON facility; Monday -
Friday

Responsibilities:

• Own vendor relations across the

supplier base — be the primary point of contact for pricing, performance, and
issue resolution

• Source, vet, and onboard new

vendors (onshore and offshore), including due diligence on quality, capacity,
compliance, and financial stability

• Lead strategic sourcing

initiatives to improve cost, lead time, and quality — negotiate pricing and
terms that protect margin

• Build and maintain onboarding

playbooks, vendor scorecards, and performance reviews

• Diversify and de-risk the supply

base across categories, balancing cost advantages of offshore sourcing against
speed and flexibility of onshore partners

• Collaborate with production,

purchasing, and customer service teams to ensure vendor performance supports
on-time delivery

• Monitor market trends, input

costs, and supplier risk (tariffs, capacity, geopolitical) that could affect
sourcing strategy

Skills and Qualifications:

• 3–5+ years in sourcing,

procurement, or supply chain — apparel and/or promotional products sourcing
experience preferred

• Track record managing both

domestic and international (offshore) vendor relationships

• Strong negotiation skills and

comfort owning commercial terms, not just relaying them

• Highly organized — able to run

multiple vendor onboarding and sourcing projects at once

• Comfortable with data: cost

comparisons, vendor scorecards, spend analysis

• Clear, confident communicator who

can hold vendors accountable while maintaining strong relationships

• Bonus: experience with AI tools

(e.g., Claude) to speed up vendor research, RFQ comparisons, and reporting —
we're an AI-forward team and expect our leaders to use it daily

Benefits:

• Medical/Dental benefits after successful

completion of probation period

• Employee Discounts (so you can rock your

personalized attire)

• Casual dress (leave your business gear at
