Job Details

At WHOOP, we’re on a mission to unlock human performance and healthspan. WHOOP empowers members to perform at a higher level through a deeper understanding of their bodies and daily lives.

WHOOP is seeking a Director or Sr. Director of Sourcing/Supply Chain to lead our global sourcing and materials management functions. In this critical leadership role, you will oversee the strategy and execution for sourcing, procurement, materials readiness, and supplier management across all phases of product development and mass production. You will be a key voice in how WHOOP builds and scales its hardware and accessory ecosystem, ensuring performance, cost, and availability targets are consistently met or exceeded.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

    • Build and lead a world-class sourcing and materials team, including GSMs/SSMs and MPMs, to support new product introduction (NPI), production ramps, and sustaining operations.
    • Own global supplier strategy and relationship management across electronics, mechanicals, plastics, packaging, and accessories categories; ensure long-term supply continuity, quality, and cost optimization.
    • Lead the negotiation and execution of strategic sourcing agreements, MSAs, SOWs, and cost models, including Should Cost and Bottoms-Up analysis, to support cost-down objectives.
    • Partner cross-functionally with Hardware Engineering, Program Management, Quality, Manufacturing, Finance, and Global Operations to influence design decisions, optimize supply chains, and mitigate risks.
    • Ensure WHOOP is always Clear-to-Build (CTB) by developing strategic material readiness plans and escalation protocols across all product lines and lifecycle stages.
    • Maintain ownership of end-to-end BOM cost, tooling budgets, and cost forecasts, serving as the primary commercial lead for product cost health.
    • Monitor and anticipate global supply trends, capacity risks, and regulatory changes to build resilient and scalable sourcing strategies.

QUALIFICATIONS:

    • 12+ years of progressive experience in sourcing, procurement, or supply chain leadership in a CM/JDM/ODM environment, with deep expertise in global manufacturing operations.
    • Proven ability to manage teams and complex supplier networks in high-growth or high-velocity environments.
    • Track record of bringing complex electronic or wearable products from concept through mass production.
    • Strong commercial acumen and negotiation skills, with demonstrated success managing cost targets and supplier performance.
    • Expertise in BOM cost management, supply chain modeling, and global logistics.
    • Familiarity with NPI phases (e.g. EVT/DVT/PVT)
    • Willingness to travel internationally up to 25%
    • Experience with ERP (NetSuite preferred) and PLM (Arena preferred)
    • Bilingual proficiency in Mandarin or Spanish a plus
    • Strong commitment to embracing and leveraging AI tools in day-to-day tasks, ensuring AI-assisted work aligns with the same high-quality standards as personal contributions.
Interested in the role but don’t meet every qualification? We encourage you to apply! At WHOOP, we believe there’s more to a candidate than what’s on paper, and we value character as much as experience. As we continue to build a diverse and inclusive environment, we welcome all applicants.
