The posting

Hi there, we’re Article. 👋 We’re a North American-based furniture company creating remarkably better furniture experiences one sofa at a time. And as the Sourcing Lead (Upholstery), you’ll lead the execution of the Upholstery category sourcing strategy, driving supplier performance and operational excellence to support Article’s continued growth.

This is a 1-year maternity leave coverage position based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Why We Need You:

In the Sourcing Team, the Sourcing Lead (Upholstery) translates category direction into clear, actionable sourcing plans. You’ll drive supplier performance, lead negotiations, provide market and supplier insights, and serve as a key subject matter expert for Upholstery suppliers and sourcing execution.

During this 1-year maternity leave coverage, you’ll step into an established team and help maintain continuity across our Upholstery sourcing activities, supplier relationships, and cross-functional partnerships.

Why Article?

While we sell to the North American market, we work closely with a number of our manufacturing partners throughout Asia. As a result, we have an office in Thao Dien, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, where we currently have around 70 Particles (people of Article) working.

As a Particle, you will have a high level of autonomy to solve challenging, meaningful problems the best way you can. That means you’re trusted to explore solutions you believe will work best—you’re the expert, after all. You’ll do all this while growing your skills within a company that is redefining the furniture industry.

What You’ll Do:

You’ll work closely with the Sourcing Senior Manager and 4 sourcing professionals to execute sourcing strategies, strengthen supplier performance, analyze market intelligence, and partner cross-functionally to deliver results. This role is based in our Ho Chi Minh City office and requires domestic and international travel.

  • Partner with the Sourcing Senior Manager to execute strategic sourcing initiatives for Upholstery, supporting Article’s continued growth and scalability.
  • Drive operational excellence across the Upholstery supplier base, securing competitive pricing, favorable commercial terms, and optimal lead times while maintaining strong quality and compliance standards.
  • Lead supplier negotiations and support contract management to achieve the right balance of cost, quality, service, capacity, and delivery.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with finished goods suppliers through consistent communication, collaboration, and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Monitor supplier capabilities and performance, identifying opportunities to strengthen efficiency, reliability, cost competitiveness, and overall supplier performance.
  • Track market dynamics, upholstery trends, material innovations, cost drivers, and evolving furniture manufacturing practices to identify sourcing opportunities and potential risks.
  • Maintain up-to-date market intelligence on key upholstery suppliers, manufacturing clusters, competitive movements, and industry developments to support informed sourcing decisions.
  • Serve as the primary liaison for Upholstery Sourcing, strengthening cross-functional collaboration with Technical Product Development, Quality, Category Management, and Supply Chain teams.
  • Support the Upholstery Sourcing team by fostering alignment, ownership, continuous improvement, and operational excellence.
  • Act as a go-to resource for the team, helping direct reports solve execution challenges and navigate day-to-day sourcing, supplier, technical, and process-related questions.

Who You Are:

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience in sourcing, procurement, supply chain management, or a related field.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, or a related discipline.
  • Strong understanding of furniture product technical requirements, compliance standards, manufacturing processes, and production efficiencies.
  • Knowledge and hands-on sourcing experience within Upholstery is a strong asset.
  • Proven experience in supplier negotiation, supplier development, and contract management.
  • Experience managing and developing supplier relationships within Asia is an asset.
