Sourcing Manager (Robotics & Automation)

Insight Global • Fremont, CA • 2h ago

Job Description

Insight Global is hiring a Sourcing Manager focused on Robotics & Automation to support a leading technology client in Fremont, California, working 3 days per week onsite for an 8 month contract. This is a hands-on, execution-focused sourcing role working directly with engineering and product teams to source, negotiate, and fully draft contracts related to automation and robotics initiatives within data center and infrastructure environments. The role requires someone who can get deep into the details, own negotiations end to end, and build strong relationships with startups and emerging technology vendors.

Day to day, this person will lead sourcing efforts for automation and robotics projects, including solutions that automate labor-intensive processes (such as rack logistics, robotics, or drone-based systems). They will fully draft and negotiate contracts involving IP, ownership, and licensing considerations, and may support strategic conversations around potential vendor investments or acquisitions. The role works closely with engineering stakeholders and must understand the technical side of the business in order to effectively negotiate and execute.

We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
