Torus is headquartered in Utah and is expanding manufacturing at our 545,000-square-foot facility in Salt Lake City called GigaOne. We are the world's first mesh energy infrastructure, uniting communities through resilient, sustainable, and intelligent power. We design, engineer, manufacture, install, and support our systems end-to-end, standing behind them throughout their lifecycle. Torus systems help reduce costs, lower emissions, and protect facilities from outages, while strengthening the security and reliability of the broader utility grid. Torus is committed to American manufacturing, engineering excellence, and building energy systems that last.

Torus has raised over $267 million from investors like Magnetar, Mercado, ICONIQ and Origin Ventures.

This investor confidence reflects the strength of our team, technology as well as the scale of the problem we are solving.

Your work will help build energy infrastructure that supports and strengthens our electrical grid, critical systems, industry, and communities for decades to come. We value accountability, collaboration, and clear thinking. We are looking for people who want to solve hard problems and build things that matter.

About the Role

The Sourcing Contract Administrator works in close partnership with the Senior Sourcing Manager, who owns commercial strategy development, negotiation of long-term supplier agreements, and placement of high-dollar-value purchase orders. Where the Sourcing Manager sets the strategic and contractual foundation, the Sourcing Contract Administrator serves as the fulfillment coordinator responsible for executing and administering those agreements and purchase orders day to day. This role ensures the timely delivery of supplied product, manages supplier defect and quality issues (including coordinating the return of nonconforming material), and maintains the operational integrity of the supply base once agreements are in place.

Who You Are

• The Ultimate Executor: You thrive in operational precision. Where others design high-level agreements, you excel at bringing those contracts to life, ensuring every purchase order, milestone, and delivery schedule is tracked and executed without a hitch.
• A Proactive Problem Solver: You don't wait for supply chain bottlenecks or quality issues to derail production. You spot schedule risks early, initiate RMA and defect resolutions swiftly, and keep operations moving smoothly.
• A Seamless Cross-Functional Partner: You communicate effortlessly with internal teams-from Quality and Production Planning to Accounts Payable-as well as external suppliers. You serve as the reliable operational bridge between strategic leaders and day-to-day fulfillment.
• Detail-Oriented & Process-Driven: You possess a strong grip on the purchase order lifecycle and ERP systems (like SAP, Oracle, or NetSuite). You take pride in maintaining accurate records, supporting audit readiness, and keeping master data pristine.

Responsibilities

• Agreement & PO Administration: Administer executed long-term agreements (LTAs) and purchase orders on behalf of the Sourcing Commercial Leader, ensuring terms, pricing, and delivery schedules are accurately reflected and maintained in ERP/procurement systems. Process PO amendments, change orders, and pricing updates.
• Order Tracking & Fulfillment: Monitor open purchase orders and supplier order books to track delivery status, confirm acknowledgments, and proactively resolve schedule risks before they impact production or inventory. Coordinate with suppliers on order fulfillment (expediting or de-expediting).
• Supplier Communication: Serve as the primary operational point of contact for day-to-day supplier communication regarding order status, shipment tracking, and delivery confirmations.
• Defect & Quality Resolution: Identify, document, and manage supplier defect and nonconformance issues, including initiating RMAs (Return Material Authorizations) and coordinating physical returns, replacements, or credits. Partner with Quality, Receiving, and Materials/Planning teams on SCARs and quality holds.
• Performance Tracking & Escalation: Track supplier performance metrics (on-time delivery, defect/return rates, responsiveness) and report trends to the Sourcing Commercial Leader. Escalate significant supply disruptions, recurring quality issues, or compliance concerns in a timely manner.
• Cross-Functional Support: Support invoice discrepancy resolution with Accounts Payable for pricing or quantity mismatches. Assist with supplier onboarding and master data maintenance tied to active agreements. Maintain audit-ready records.
• Other duties and projects as assigned.
