  • Strategic sourcing, micro bids, spot bids
  • Driving supplier diversity (minority-owned vendor engagement)
  • Executing against aggressive spend targets

Key Experiences :

  • 5–7 years in strategic procurement (preferably in MRO or similar categories)
  • Hospitality, restaurant, or multi-unit background with progression shown
  • Strong stakeholder management and negotiation (operator-savvy personality)
  • Analytical proficiency – data (BI tools, pivot tables, cost modelling) contract familiarity – managing renewals, T&Cs, service levels
  • This is a unique opportunity for a commercially-minded procurement professional to join at a pivotal point in the company's growth and play a key role in shaping how critical categories like Maintenance, Repair & Operations are strategically managed.

    Package : Salary – Up to $135k

    Holiday - 2 WEEKS PAID TIME OFF - 7 OR 8 HOLIDAYS
