• Build and maintain a high-performing supplier base for sales and POS material categories, conducting regular performance reviews, managing KPIs, and driving accountability for quality, lead times, sustainability commitments, and pricing.
• Partner closely with Marketing, Creative, Sales, Visual Merchandising, and Retail Operations teams to forecast demand, align procurement timelines with seasonal campaign calendars, and ensure all sales and POS materials are available for product launches, promotions, and new store openings.
• Collaborate with Finance and budget owners to develop and manage annual procurement budgets for sales and POS material categories, tracking spend against targets and identifying opportunities for cost reduction, consolidation, and value engineering.
• Drive sustainable procurement practices by identifying and sourcing eco-friendly, recyclable, and responsibly produced sales and POS materials in alignment with Skechers' corporate responsibility and environmental goals.
• Ensure all procured sales and POS materials meet regulatory, safety, and compliance standards across all domestic and international markets where Skechers operates, including print quality, materials safety, and country-specific labeling requirements.

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU:

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Procurement, Marketing, Business Administration, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in procurement or strategic sourcing, with a focus on sales materials, POS materials, print production, or marketing supply chain within a global retail or consumer goods environment.
