At IQM, we build world-leading quantum computers for the well-being of humankind. We design systems to tackle computational challenges beyond the practical limits of classical machines. Our work sits at the edge of science and engineering. It's complex, demanding, and deeply collaborative. We turn deep research into reliable, full-stack systems that drive discoveries in fields like medicine, energy, and technology, reshaping how the world computes.

Join the team that gives quantum a heartbeat.

We are looking for two Sourcing Managers to join our Sourcing and Procurement team. You’ll own material categories that are critical to building our quantum computers, from cryomechanics and mechanical components to capital equipment, and make sure our supply keeps up as IQM moves from industrial operations towards series production.

You’ll take each category from the first sourcing discussions with R&D and production all the way to daily supplier management. That means finding the right suppliers, negotiating the contracts and keeping quality, delivery and cost on track, while thinking about what the category needs in the years ahead. You’ll work closely with engineering, R&D, production and projects, and help shape how IQM develops its strategic sourcing and supply chain models.

• Own your material categories, such as cryomechanics, cryostats or mechanical components, and build the best possible supplier and parts portfolio for each

• Join product development and production early to find sources, secure availability and set up contracts before parts are needed

• Lead supplier negotiations on prices, contracts and delivery terms, and build strong long-term supplier relationships

• Monitor supplier quality, delivery and cost, and resolve issues together with suppliers and internal teams

• Take on capital equipment purchases: one-off buys where you negotiate prices, contracts, delivery terms and technical details

• Scan the supplier market for second sources, outsourcing options and new ways to manufacture parts as our volumes grow

• Drive advanced supply chain management and reduce supply risks across critical technologies

• Work with R&D and partners on what our next technology generations will need from the supply chain

• Use data and KPIs to find savings and improve our sourcing processes and tools

• Ensure suppliers meet our quality, regulatory and ESG requirements

• A degree in business, engineering, supply chain management or a related field

• Solid experience in sourcing, procurement or supply chain management, ideally 5+ years

• Experience from a manufacturing environment, ideally high-tech manufacturing

• A mix of commercial and technical understanding: you don’t need to be an engineer, but you’re comfortable with technical products, specs and part drawings

• Proven negotiation and contract management skills

• Strategic thinking: you weigh what a decision means for us in the long run, not just what it costs today

• The ability to keep many threads in hand, learn fast and make decisions without perfect information

• Strong communication and collaboration skills across technical and business teams

• Fluent English, written and spoken

• Work experience in electronics, microelectronics, semiconductors, quantum technology or a similar field

• Familiarity with cryostats, cryomechanics or custom mechanical parts and how they’re manufactured

• Experience managing critical suppliers in complex, international supply chains, including subcontracting or outsourcing

• Experience buying capital equipment, or developing ERP systems and procurement processes

• Full-stack quantum computing: From quantum hardware to software layers and beyond, we build across the full-stack.

• High-performance playground: We aim high, and we know sustainable performance only works when life outside work does too—hybrid setups, flexible hours.

• Never the smartest: You won’t always be the smartest person in the room. Neither will we. Expect to learn constantly - from each other and beyond with IQM’s Learning Hub, LinkedIn Learning, and a team-based L&D budget.

• Approachable leadership: Flat hierarchy, direct access. Feel free to approach any leaders. They're friendlier than they look!

• The sweet spot: Big enough to matter. Small enough to move fast. Growing between a startup and a corporation. We’re in the phase where top performers get noticed.

• Bigger than IQM: Our people build know-how for the entire quantum ecosystem. We publish papers, run hackathons, and help shape a market that's still being defined.

The future of computing won’t build itself. You might be one of the few who do.
