What should you know about role pay against all occupations, by metro?

Ratio = this role's published median divided by the all-occupations median in the same metro, same units, both exact. A ratio above 1.00 means the role's median is higher than the metro's all-occupations median. It makes no cost-of-living claim. Location quotient (LQ) is employment concentration, not a wage index.

Bars show the highest 25 of 219. The table lists all.

Using the published data

What does this ranking mean for your opening?

Strategic sourcing managers are judged by their direct impact on commodity costs and supply continuity, making commodity specific experience critical. Unlike a daily purchaser, this role requires deep knowledge of indices, should cost modeling, and total cost of ownership. A candidate who has only negotiated upon contract expiry lacks the necessary expertise to manage active volatility.

Recruiter's read. Qualitative interpretation, not another BLS estimate.

The published national wage data for broader purchasing occupations does not account for the high level of strategic depth required in manufacturing. For Strategic Sourcing Manager in the United States, percentiles describe the wage distribution of the mapped occupation. The published middle interval is $115,550 to $182,270 annually. They do not assign pay to plant size, seniority, credentials or job complexity. Assess duties and candidate requirements separately; these rows do not measure a premium for them. Compensation must be aligned with the individual's ability to drive savings and manage supply risks.

Effective sourcing leaders must be able to assess the intersection of engineering, quality, and production. For Strategic Sourcing Manager in the United States, releases are separate survey estimates. The May 2025 median is $148,080; the May 2024 median is $139,510. Their arithmetic difference is $8,570. They are not the same workers' raises and do not establish a pay trend or its cause. A successful hire is one who can build should cost models and effectively manage supplier relationships even after difficult negotiations.

Regional variations in the provided wage data are qualitative and should not dictate your hiring process or candidate availability. Many of the strongest sourcing managers are currently embedded in OEM teams and are not actively searching. A successful search requires identifying candidates based on the specific commodities and spend scales you control, rather than general market titles.

What should you know about questions before using this pay map?

When do we pay?

Fees are only due after a candidate we introduce accepts your offer and starts work. There are no charges for initial shortlists or interviews.

Do you keep searches confidential?

Yes, we handle all candidate interactions with discretion to protect sensitive supplier and pricing knowledge. Your company is described by sector until the candidate is engaged.

Would you look at commodity manager or category manager titles?

We certainly would, as those titles often share the same scope. We screen primarily on the specific commodities and spend levels handled.

What about relocation?

We address relocation during the first call, as sourcing roles near plants often require it. Early discussion ensures we do not narrow the candidate pool prematurely.
