Rossen Landscape is the premier high-end residential landscape company serving the greater Washington, DC metropolitan area. Since 2003, we've built our reputation by creating exceptional outdoor environments while fostering a workplace where talented people can grow professionally and personally.

We're looking for an organized, proactive, and detail-oriented Landscape Procurement & Purchasing Manager to play a vital role in keeping our operations running efficiently. Internally, this role is known as our Procurement Manager.

This is much more than a purchasing position. You'll help ensure our production teams have the right materials, equipment, inventory, and operational support they need to deliver an exceptional client experience every day.

The Opportunity

As our Landscape Procurement & Purchasing Manager, you'll oversee purchasing, vendor relationships, inventory management, receiving, nursery operations, and several key operational support functions.

You'll work closely with our Operations, Production, Design, Sales, and Finance teams to ensure materials are available when needed, costs are managed strategically, and our crews can stay focused on delivering outstanding work.

Success in this role requires someone who enjoys planning ahead, solving problems before they happen, improving systems, and bringing organization to a fast-paced environment.

Strategic Procurement & Purchasing

• Build and maintain strong relationships with vendors and suppliers.
• Negotiate pricing and identify opportunities to improve value while maintaining quality and reliability.

Inventory Management

• Maintain accurate inventory levels of materials and supplies.
• Monitor frequently used inventory and replenish as needed.
• Lead biannual physical yard inventories.
• Develop and improve inventory control processes to reduce waste and improve efficiency.

Receiving & Material Logistics

• Receive and verify incoming deliveries at our Stonetree facility.
• Ensure materials are organized, accurately documented, and distributed to the appropriate projects.
• Coordinate material staging to support efficient production.
• Enter invoices, receipts, and gate inventory tickets daily.
• Maintain accurate pricing and item information within Aspire's Item Catalog to support estimating and job costing.
• Complete month-end purchasing responsibilities accurately and on time.

Nursery Operations

• Organize and maintain Rossen's plant nursery.
• Stage plant material for upcoming installation projects.
• Oversee nursery irrigation and plant health.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and production-ready nursery.
• Coordinate daily delivery requests and priorities.
• Manage the company runner's workload and time entry.
• Support efficient movement of materials between vendors, the yard, and job sites.

Support operational initiatives such as:

• Fleet graphics and truck wraps

• Excellent attention to detail.
• Outstanding follow-through and accountability.
• Ability to prioritize multiple competing responsibilities.
• Strong communication and vendor relationship skills.
• A proactive mindset with the ability to anticipate operational needs before they become problems.
• Continuous improvement mentality with a desire to improve processes and efficiency.
• Positive attitude and commitment to teamwork.

• 3–5+ years of purchasing, procurement, inventory, operations, supply chain, or construction materials management experience.
• Experience in the landscape, construction, horticulture, irrigation, or green industry preferred.
• Experience with Aspire or similar ERP software preferred.
• Strong Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Office skills.
