Requirements

• Comfortable operating as a hands-on individual contributor.
• Demonstrated success negotiating supplier/distributor contracts and managing supplier performance.

• Comfortable working with data to drive decisions — spend analysis, forecasting, cost-per-unit tracking.
• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, Operations, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• Willingness to travel regularly to warehouse sites (30–50%, increasing during new site launches).

• Lead supplier and vendor negotiations, RFPs, and contract structuring to secure favorable pricing, service levels, and supply resilience.
• Build a simple, repeatable playbook for establishing supplies procurement at each new warehouse launch.
• Right-size inventory and reorder logic for facilities of varying sizes.

• Establish spend visibility and reporting by site, category, and supplier.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for supplies distributor(s) and suppliers, managing performance, service levels, and day-to-day issue resolution.
• Select and/or implement lightweight tools for inventory tracking, demand forecasting, and purchase order management, sized appropriately for the current footprint and volume.
