Full Job Description
We're looking for a Procurement Manager who's more than a buyer - someone who's a connector, a strategist, a challenger of "how it's always been done." You love building relationships, solving problems creatively, and partnering across teams to make big things happen. If you're energized by transformation and want your work to directly influence the quality, cost, and success of our projects, you'll thrive here.

What You'll Lead

  • Develop and execute procurement strategies that drive cost savings without compromising quality
  • Lead the full RFP process for all goods and services (excluding labour) across North America
  • Negotiate contracts to secure the best possible price, quality, and service
  • Manage organizational spend and strengthen vendor partnerships that fuel our builds
  • Implement process improvements that elevate efficiency and reduce costs
  • Collaborate with every department to understand needs and plan proactively
  • Stay plugged into market trends, materials, and global supply insights
  • Lead and mentor a small procurement team, providing guidance on best practices and workload management


Who You Are

You're the kind of person who sees procurement as a strategic advantage, not a back-office function. You love the thrill of a good negotiation, the satisfaction of solving a sourcing challenge, and the impact of building strong vendor relationships.

  • 5+ years managing a procurement team
  • Experience sourcing for production or fabrication (trade show booths, museum interiors, architectural components, luxury retail fixtures) is a big plus
  • Deep understanding of procurement's role in production environments
  • Proven success in contract negotiation, cost-reduction, and vendor management
  • Knowledge of global suppliers, materials, and sourcing channels
  • Excellent communicator and collaborator
  • Organized, detail-driven, and a natural problem solver
  • Proficient in MS Office
  • Resourceful, positive, and genuinely enjoys working with people


Why You'll Love This Role

You'll have the opportunity to rebuild and elevate our procurement function - shaping strategy, improving processes, and strengthening partnerships that directly impact our bottom line. You'll work with passionate teams, tackle complex challenges, and have fun doing it.

Compensation: $120,000 - $140,000
