About this role

Creativity is our superpower. We don't just make toys—we create innovative products and experiences that inspire fans and develop children through play. Based in El Segundo, CA, this role manages sourcing execution for a specific category—Commercial, Tech, People, or Operations—across North America while engaging with global initiatives.

You will lead end-to-end sourcing projects and contract negotiations, focusing on initiatives above $250K to drive cost efficiency and supplier performance. Day-to-day tasks include conducting spend and market analysis to identify savings opportunities, partnering with stakeholders to align strategies, and managing supplier relationships to ensure service and compliance.
