What You Will Do

• Strategic Sourcing & GPO (Avendra) Management
  • Serve as the enterprise relationship owner and administrator for Avendra, Atrium’s Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) to monitor program compliance, evaluate and add new category suppliers, conduct annual property‑level business reviews, resolve partner and property issues, and maximize the rebate/allowance return to Atrium;
  • Lead the vendor management process, including developing and maintaining current and potential vendor lists, negotiating goods and services, and developing enterprise‑wide strategies for pricing and credit terms. Ensure vendor partnerships sustain a competitive advantage and meet the standards and needs of the company’s properties and brand partners;
  • Partner with a business representative to negotiate company‑wide purchase agreements and purchase orders when appropriate and monitor cost during the contracted term;

• Procure-to-Pay (Coupa) — Supplier & Spend Layer
  • Serve as the named accountable owner of Atrium's supplier master and the procurement-side workflow within Coupa. Drive property adoption, PO compliance and continuous process improvement, partnering with Shared Services, who own the platform, its configuration and change control;

• • Lead supplier enablement within Coupa — supplier onboarding (SIM), catalog/Punch Out setup, and cXML invoicing conversion for high‑volume suppliers — to increase electronic PO usage and improve PO before invoice performance across the hotels;

• • Manage the review, approval, or rejection of all new supplier submissions from the field, and partner with Accounting/Finance, Accounts Payable, and Risk Management to integrate Certificate of Insurance (COI) collection and approval into the onboarding workflow. Supplier approval is to remain organizationally separate from payment execution, and that separation is to be documented;

• Capital vs. Operational Purchasing
  • Manage the purchasing agent(s) — typically third‑party, with the flexibility to include internal purchasing agent(s) as the model evolves — and ensure product and pricing specifications produce competitive terms and conditions for Atrium’s operational (OS&E, consumables, day‑to‑day) purchasing. Ensure agent coverage is aligned across capital and operating spend, with appropriate controls and separation between the two, and scale the model as portfolio needs change;

• • Support the capital improvement process through negotiated purchasing contracts for FF&E and OS&E, coordinating closely with the CapEx team. This covers ordinary, recurring capital purchasing; major renovation and repositioning projects are sourced and executed by the CapEx team, with this role providing negotiated pricing and commercial review on request;

• Savings, Reporting & Analytics
  • Track, document, and report hard and soft cost savings and rebate performance (e.g., GPO rebates, cashless conversion, fleet standardization) and communicate results and recommendations to leadership. Build and own a documented, repeatable, auditable savings measurement methodology as a first-year deliverable, distinguishing clearly between contracted and realized savings;

• Enterprise Supplier & Program Management
  • Partner with business representatives to manage enterprise supplier relationships and agreements across categories including chemicals/pest/water treatment, POS systems, copier and print fleet, locks and lodging systems, AV, contract labor, beverage program, coffee, in‑room water, and cost‑control/waste management;

• • Advance responsible and diverse sourcing initiatives (e.g., underrepresented‑supplier programs) and evaluate sustainability/ESG opportunities where they align with brand standards and business goals;

• • Facilitate the on‑boarding of new acquisitions into corporate procurement programs, partnering closely with property operations and Strategic Sourcing;

What We’re Looking For

• Experience administering a Procure‑to‑Pay platform including supplier onboarding, catalog management, workflow governance, and user adoption initiatives (cXML / PunchOuts)
• 5+ years of purchasing experience with 3+ in hotel operations: You’ve done the work and know the industry inside and out.
• Track record of managing procurement programs, delivering measurable savings, meeting sourcing performance metrics, and driving user and supplier compliance
• Demonstrated responsibility for enterprise sourcing initiatives, bid processes, supplier negotiations, contract management and spend optimization
• Strong negotiation skills: You make deals that stretch budgets without cutting corners.
• Vendor and brand savvy: Familiarity with Avendra, US Foods, and major hotel brands helps you hit the ground running.
