Meet the team:

The Direct Materials Sourcing team is a group of category experts responsible for building resilient supply networks, securing qualified capacity, managing total cost, enabling new product introduction, and reducing supply risk. This Sr. Manager will lead Dexcom's Electronics and Contract Manufacturing sourcing organization, with accountability for category strategy, supplier capacity and continuity, commercial performance, lifecycle and obsolescence management, component-level risk, contract strategy, cost productivity, and supplier readiness across current and future Dexcom product platforms. The leader will connect semiconductor and component manufacturers, authorized channels, Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers, and contract manufacturers into an integrated supply strategy aligned with Dexcom's product roadmap, commercial demand, and long-range growth scenarios.

Where you come in:

Category scope:

The portfolio includes Contract Manufacturing and electronics manufacturing services (EMS); PCBA and electronic assemblies; integrated circuits and active components, including AFE, BLE/wireless, TMR, memory and other application-specific chips; batteries; printed circuit boards; passive components; crystals and oscillators; temperature sensors; cables and discrete electronic components; Receiver electronic components and finished goods; and the critical Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers, manufacturing sites, raw materials, and logistics nodes supporting these categories.

· Lead, develop, and coach a team of category managers responsible for Contract Manufacturing, PCBA, integrated circuits, batteries, PCBs, passives, crystals, temperature sensors, Receiver electronics, and related finished goods.

· Develop and execute short- and long-term category strategies that align technology roadmaps, supplier capability, qualified capacity, cost, quality, risk, geographic footprint, and lifecycle requirements with Dexcom product and business plans.

· Own executive supplier relationships and commercial strategy across EMS partners, semiconductor and component manufacturers, authorized channels, Tier 1 suppliers, and critical sub-tier suppliers.

· Lead supplier selection, RFIs/RFQs, negotiations, contracting, cost improvement, capacity assurance and reservation strategies, allocation models, scenario-based demand and capacity reconciliation, recovery planning, and business continuity plans.

· Build sourcing strategies through the full electronics value chain, including semiconductor foundry and assembly/test dependencies, battery suppliers, PCB fabricators, component manufacturers, authorized distribution, Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers, PCBA manufacturing, final assembly, test, and critical raw materials.

· Own BOM-level electronics supply-risk management across current and future products, including visibility to supplier, part, manufacturing-site, sub-tier, raw-material, and common-node dependencies.

· Establish a single, fact-based supplier-readiness view covering BOM/AML status, supplier award, purchase-order placement, material lead time, inventory coverage, component and manufacturing capacity, qualification, contracts, alternate sources, and recovery actions.

· Validate supplier capacity claims against demonstrated output, yield, OEE, equipment, labor, materials, lead times, planned expansion, and recovery assumptions rather than relying solely on stated nameplate capacity.

· Lead electronics sourcing through product transitions and lifecycle events, including G7-to-G8 migration, supplier ramp-up and ramp-down, last-time buys, inventory exposure, shelf life, obsolescence, alternate-source qualification, and end-of-life execution.
