Who we are:

At The Shyft Group we are driven to deliver. Proudly the North American leader in specialty vehicles, our portfolio of last-mile delivery vehicles, work trucks, and motorhome chassis bring people, goods, and services where they need to be.

We are strengthened by ten industry-leading brands - Utilimaster®, Blue Arc™, Royal® Truck Body, DuraMag®, Magnum®, Strobes-R-Us®, Spartan® RV Chassis, Red Diamond™, Builtmore™ and Independent Truck Upfitters. Over 4,000 employees across eleven states and two countries work independently and together as one team under Shyft, building chassis, vehicle bodies, and accessories that improve every route, every run, every ride.

Empowered by a supportive, inclusive, and highly entrepreneurial culture, every person behind our brands is given the tools they need to make a positive contribution to the company, their community, and their families. Together under the Shyft umbrella, our teams drive new synergies that bring innovations to life on the road - for an experience that is safer, more satisfying, more rewarding all around.

With 50 years and millions of miles behind us, we continue to charge forward - leading the commercial vehicle transition to electric, innovating across all our brands, and earning our position among Fortune's 100 Fastest Growing Companies.

What you'll do:

As the Sourcing Agent for Utilimaster® (A Shyft Group Brand) based at our facility in Bristol, IN, you will enjoy spearheading the sourcing of production materials to deliver optimal value to the business.

You will accomplish this through the effective use of your relationship, analytical, and negotiation skills to foster winning relationships with suppliers and serve as a valued business partner to counsel and guide the business and drive continuous improvement.

In addition, you will also be expected to support business goals related to quality, delivery, technology, and cost of current products, design revisions, and new products while identifying and mitigating potential supply chain risks.

You will be mostly remote with occasional travel to Bristol on a monthly to quarterly basis, and for occasional in-person meetings with suppliers. The schedule will ideally be biweekly hybrid which encompasses a couple days a week in Bristol every other week.

You will also:

  • Create and guide negotiations with suppliers to ensure a fair cost for parts and design changes
  • Foster relationships and drive continuous improvement from suppliers in the areas of cost, quality, capacity, delivery, transparency, and service
  • Partner cross-functionally to understand and monitor business needs
  • Identify solutions to help improve the purchasing team and supplier performance and service
  • Gather, examine, and leverage data and analytical tools to identify opportunities and negotiate cost savings
  • Gain a deep understanding of manufacturing processes and supplier costs for parts to enable fair, consistent, and sustainable pricing for parts
  • Proactively monitor and manage key supplier performance metrics
  • Ensure supply continuity and navigate and facilitate solutions when supplier issues occur
  • Provide solutions and support for the achievement of manufacturing production goals
  • Identify, transform, and advocate for new business processes
  • Apply project management principles to new product development, organization and prioritization of work, and process improvement
  • Ensure that suppliers conform to our terms and conditions
