Position Overview

We are seeking a hands‑on Procurement Manager to help build and formalize the procurement function for a growing multi-location hospitality organization.

This role will focus on analyzing purchasing activity, evaluating vendor relationships, identifying consolidation opportunities, negotiating contracts and terms, and creating a more scalable procurement approach as the organization continues to grow.

• Lead vendor rationalization and supplier consolidation efforts
• Negotiate pricing, contracts, terms, and service agreements
• Evaluate food, beverage, and other operational purchasing categories
• Review vendor networks, delivery structures, and purchasing practices
• Develop data-backed procurement recommendations
• Partner directly with vendors to execute sourcing and negotiation strategies
• Establish procurement priorities, processes, and reporting
• Collaborate with Finance, Operations, and senior leadership

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years of procurement, strategic sourcing, vendor management, or related experience
• Experience managing supplier relationships and contract negotiations
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to review and interpret purchasing data
• Experience identifying cost‑saving, consolidation, or vendor optimization opportunities
• Strong communication and stakeholder‑management skills
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities
• Proficiency with Excel and business systems used for purchasing, finance, or AP

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in hospitality, food and beverage, events, restaurants, or another multi‑location operating environment
• Experience with multi‑unit procurement or distributed vendor networks
• Familiarity with systems such as Sage, Ramp, ERP platforms, or purchasing tools
• Experience building or improving procurement processes in a growing organization

What Success Looks Like

Early priorities will include understanding current purchasing activity, reviewing vendor and contract relationships, identifying consolidation opportunities, and creating a prioritized list of procurement initiatives.

This role is well suited for someone who enjoys combining analysis, vendor strategy, negotiation, and execution in a high-autonomy environment.
