The opportunity

Marketing Impact Limited creates retail displays and merchandising solutions that help brands and retailers bring products to life. We are seeking a commercially minded, hands-on procurement leader to shape how we source, purchase and manage the materials and products behind that work.

This is a senior role with broad influence and a small direct team. You will lead strategic supplier decisions while staying close to negotiations, inventory, purchasing and day-to-day problem-solving. Your work will directly affect product availability, quality, cash invested in inventory and the cost of goods we sell.

What you will own

Build a stronger supply base

• Find, evaluate and develop dependable suppliers and alternate sources for critical products and components.
• Negotiate commercial terms and create long-term vendor relationships grounded in value, quality and accountability.

Make every purchasing dollar count

• Lead purchasing strategy, contracts and supplier negotiations, balancing total landed cost with delivery and quality.
• Identify measurable savings, manage cost changes and provide reliable cost information for commercial decisions.

Put inventory to work

• Set practical replenishment and inventory policies that support demand while controlling working capital.
• Reduce slow-moving and obsolete inventory, improve turns and prevent avoidable stockouts.

Protect quality and delivery

• Partner with Operations and Quality to measure supplier performance and resolve recurring issues.
• Anticipate supply disruptions and build contingency plans for key materials and suppliers.

Lead across the business

• Coach a small team and take ownership of the most important sourcing decisions.
• Work closely with Sales, Operations, Product Development and Finance on launches, quotations, cost and margin insights.

What you bring

• Strong experience in procurement, strategic sourcing or supply chain, ideally in manufacturing or a product-based business.
• A record of supplier negotiation, cost improvement and sound inventory decisions.
• Practical financial and analytical skills, including landed cost, margins and inventory metrics.
• Confidence working with ERP systems, Excel, supplier performance data and purchasing processes.
• A collaborative, hands-on leadership style suited to a smaller organization.
• Post-secondary education or equivalent experience; professional supply-chain designation is an asset.

What success looks like

Our suppliers are dependable and accountable. Inventory is available without tying up unnecessary cash. Product quality remains strong. Procurement savings are measurable, and colleagues trust the cost information and decisions your team provides.
