Job description

Procurement Assistant

We are a family of brands that brings together our love for fashion and caring for others. Every day, our mission is to help the less fortunate and make a difference in the world. We have over 160 locations in 38 states across our five brands; and we're looking to grow each brand substantially over the next three years.

Stand Out. For Good. At Altar'd State, those four words are more than just than just our motto, they are why we exist. From Mission Mondays, where 10% of our net proceeds go directly to local charitable organizations, to our long-standing partnership with Coprodeli USA, in which we are in the process of building 22 schools for impoverished communities in Peru, we are committed to giving back in meaningful ways to those in need.

  • Partner with finance and internal teams to ensure fiscal discipline.
  • Data Analysis & Reporting

  • Manage and update procurement dashboards with metrics such as shipping costs, damages / missing items, and replacements.
  • Perform time-study analysis for store installations to forecast labor hours and cost efficiency.
  • Create data models in Excel to analyze trends and provide recommendations.
  • Logistics & Operations

  • Manage logistics of shipping, freight, and delivery schedules to ensure timely arrivals of materials and activations.
  • Coordinate packing specifications and monitor quality checks for store installations.
  • Troubleshoot delays and propose proactive solutions to mitigate risks.
  • Qualifications

  • 2+ years of procurement, supply chain, or financial planning experience.
  • Advanced proficiency in Excel (pivot tables, lookups, macros, scenario modeling).
  • Strong financial and business acumen with experience in budget management.
  • Excellent organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills.
  • Ability to balance multiple projects under tight deadlines with attention to detail.
  • Strong collaboration skills with cross-functional partners and external vendors.
