The manager will ensure that fabrics meet our design vision, technical requirements and sustainability goals while achieving the best possible cost.

What you’ll do

• Supplier evaluation & selection: Identify, evaluate and select domestic and global suppliers for bedding, rugs, upholstery fabrics and digitally printed textiles. Establish robust procurement policies and define material requirements in partnership with design and merchandising.
• Negotiation & contract management: Negotiate pricing, lead times and payment terms; draft and review contracts; and oversee ongoing supplier relationships to achieve the right quality at the best price. Manage requests for proposals and lead market research and vendor profiling to support vendor selection.
• Quality & innovation: Collaborate with design and product‑development teams to ensure sourced fabrics meet aesthetic and functional requirements. Work with product design and Q.A. to evaluate fabric samples, approve them for production and stay abreast of innovations in weave, finish and digital printing technologies. Monitor market trends and innovations to keep our offerings current and competitive.
• Cost & data analysis: Conduct cost analysis and benchmarking of raw‑material prices, taking into account how fiber composition influences fabric quality and cost. Use data to forecast demand, develop annual budgets and identify savings opportunities.
• Inventory & logistics management: Work with planning, logistics and inventory teams to help maintain appropriate stock levels and optimize procurement processes. Ensure timely delivery of materials by managing production schedules and transportation needs.
• Sustainability & compliance: Ensure vendors adhere to environmental, social and quality standards. Advocate for materials and processes that minimize waste and reduce environmental impact, such as digital printing methods that save energy and water.
• Cross‑functional collaboration: Partner closely with design, product, merchandising and finance teams to integrate sourcing strategies with product development. Provide regular reporting and insights to senior leadership.

What you’ll bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Textile Engineering, Supply‑Chain Management or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in fabric sourcing or procurement with a track record of negotiating and managing supplier relationships. Experience sourcing bedding, rugs, upholstery fabrics or digitally printed textiles is highly desirable.
• Deep knowledge of fabric types, fiber composition and production processes; ability to assess how raw materials affect quality, performance and cost.
• Demonstrated ability to conduct market research, analyze data and draw insights to inform sourcing decisions.
• Strong negotiation, contract‑management and cost‑analysis skills.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; ability to build partnerships across cultures and functions.
• Willingness to travel domestically and internationally to visit suppliers and attend trade shows.

About you

• You take ownership of the sourcing pipeline and have the resilience to navigate supply‑chain challenges.
• You thrive in a fast‑paced environment, balancing multiple projects while maintaining attention to detail and meeting deadlines.
• You are curious about new materials and technologies and eager to develop innovative sourcing solutions.
