Steel Sourcing Manager

Ready to be a part of something monumental? Unimacts is on the cutting edge of contract manufacturing and supply chain management in the solar and wind sectors. With operations spanning the globe - from North America to Europe and Asia - we’re making waves in renewable energy markets. The groundbreaking Inflation Reduction Act has positioned us for unparalleled growth in the solar industry. Backed by esteemed venture capital firms, our parent company supports globally recognized, VC-backed enterprises. It’s an electrifying time to join us!

At Unimacts, we don’t just move steel. We move industries. As a Steel Sourcing Manager (SSM), you’ll sit at the intersection of global operations, commercial strategy, and high-stakes execution — owning the heartbeat of our order-to-delivery engine.

This isn’t a passive desk job. You’ll be embedded in every stage of our industrial supply chain — transforming customer purchase orders into supplier action, coordinating with global teams, navigating time zones and incoterms, and making sure steel flows just in time to warehouses and customer sites across continents.

You’ll partner daily with senior executives in Operations and Commercial teams, proactively handling customer and supplier inquiries, tracking shipment status, solving logistical puzzles, and ensuring accuracy across contracts, invoices, and inventory. You’ll be the link that ensures nothing gets lost in translation — across documents, across borders, across deadlines.

If you live for precision, thrive under pressure, and want to impact global supply networks in real time, this is your arena.
