Description
Xometry (NASDAQ: XMTR) powers the industries of today and tomorrow by connecting the people with big ideas to the manufacturers who can bring them to life. Xometry’s digital marketplace gives manufacturers the critical resources they need to grow their business while also making it easy for buyers at Fortune 1000 companies to tap into global manufacturing capacity.
Xometry is looking to expand the Sourcing Team by adding a Sourcing Associate dedicated to providing best-in-class service for our expanding group of global Partners and Customers. The Sourcing Associate will work cross functionally to execute a variety of service functions in an effort to create a frictionless order experience for both the Partner Network and our customers. The ideal candidate is seeking a fast paced career opportunity and is driven to delivering unparalleled service for both customers and partners. Creativity, attention to detail, and a strong verbal/written communication skill set are critical assets. Flexibility and a relentless focus to finding unique solutions for each part will make the difference for this position.
Often the Sourcing Team is the last chance to fulfill our customer’s order. As a result, the Sourcing Associate will be responsible for identifying and implementing solutions for the most challenging and complex orders. This will require: collaboration with multiple internal teams; active engagement with Xometry’s partner network; and collaboration with the customer to develop a recovery plan for each order.
How You'll Contribute:
- Initial triage of orders by uncovering potential manufacturing issues (Tolerances, design limitations, material availability…ect).
- Identifying alternative sourcing strategies
- Cultivate network relationships and proactively communicate capacity gaps / constraints across the network
- Work cross functionally to devise recovery strategies for your assigned orders
- Accountable for sourcing KPI’s (margin and time to resolution)
What You Bring To Xometry:
- Must be a detail oriented, problem solver with the ability to thrive in ambiguous situations with minimal direction
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
- A strong desire to learn and grow within the company and the position
- Ability to handle several assignments simultaneously
- Proficiency in computer skills to include: Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides (Google’s equivalent of Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint); and basic Internet navigation skills
- Basic knowledge of Solidworks, Salesforce, Looker, and Mechanical Print interpretation are encouraged
Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain, Commerce or a related field preferred
- Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams and customers

About this role
Xometry's Sourcing Team tackles the hardest manufacturing orders—the ones that need creative problem-solving and a network of partners to pull off. As a Sourcing Associate, you'd be the last line of defense for complex orders, working to identify manufacturing issues early, explore alternative sourcing strategies, and collaborate across internal teams and Xometry's partner network to devise recovery plans when standard approaches won't work. You'd own sourcing metrics around margin and resolution time, meaning your decisions directly impact both customer satisfaction and business outcomes.
This role demands someone who thrives in ambiguity and can juggle multiple assignments while staying detail-oriented. You'll need strong communication skills—both written and verbal—to coordinate between customers, internal teams, and manufacturing partners. Familiarity with Google Workspace, basic Solidworks, Salesforce, Looker, and the ability to read mechanical prints would strengthen your candidacy, though a bachelor's degree in business, supply chain, or a related field and prior cross-functional collaboration experience are what the company prioritizes.
The position is hybrid in Lexington, Kentucky, and suits someone drawn to fast-paced environments who finds satisfaction in solving problems others can't and building relationships across a complex network. If you're energized by ownership and learning on the job, this could be a strong fit.
