The posting

Quartzy is seeking a Vendor Relations Manager to build, manage, and grow strategic supplier relationships across our Life Sciences & Chemicals portfolios. You’ll drive growth and profitability by strengthening existing partnerships, identifying new opportunities, and bringing on strategic suppliers that expand and enhance our product portfolio.

Quartzy is a 100% distributed team so this role can be done anywhere in the US.

About You

You’re a relationship builder and problem solver who understands the Life Sciences industry and enjoys finding ways to create value for both suppliers and Quartzy. You’re commercially minded, data-driven, and comfortable navigating everything from supplier negotiations and business reviews to solving day-to-day challenges. You’re proactive, adaptable, and not afraid to roll up your sleeves, take ownership, and proactively find solutions as the business evolves.

Why Quartzy

At Quartzy, we believe science moves faster when labs spend less time on logistics and more time on discovery. Our platform streamlines how labs order, track, and manage supplies so researchers can focus on scientific breakthroughs that change the world.

Quartzy is the world’s #1 lab management platform, trusted by hundreds of thousands of scientists worldwide. By combining SaaS and eCommerce in a unique business model loved by customers, we help researchers spend less time on logistics and more time on discovery. From cancer research and climate change to winemaking and vegan cheese, our impact is broad and meaningful. You’ll have the flexibility of remote work, the security of a profitable business, and the purpose of contributing to discoveries that matter. At Quartzy, your work has an impact - on your life, your career, and on science worldwide.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and manage strong, profitable, and lasting supplier partnerships by negotiating pricing, terms, growth targets, incentives, and service expectations.
  • Drive supplier profitability and commercial performance by analyzing cost of goods, margin, sales, and growth trends and identifying opportunities for improvement.
  • Develop and execute supplier growth strategies, including pricing initiatives, promotional programs, incentives, and other opportunities to increase sales and customer engagement.
  • Lead supplier business reviews to evaluate performance, identify opportunities and gaps, establish priorities, and align on actionable plans for growth.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally across Quartzy to identify opportunities, address supplier and operational challenges, improve processes, streamline workflows, and support system and supplier integrations.
  • Own the resolution of escalated supplier issues, coordinating with internal teams and suppliers to drive timely resolution and maintain strong relationships.
  • Ensure data integrity across supplier catalogs and Quartzy systems, including Salesforce, Looker, and the Quartzy application.
  • Own supplier catalog health and optimization, developing and executing strategies to improve product content, data quality, assortment, and performance, including de-duplication and standardized catalog imports.
  • Develop and deliver cross-system performance reporting to provide leadership and key stakeholders with actionable insights into supplier performance, profitability, growth, and opportunities.
  • Identify opportunities to strengthen the supplier portfolio, using customer demand, performance data, market trends, and business priorities to inform supplier strategy.
  • Strategically manage and prioritize a portfolio of suppliers based on business performance, customer demand, strategic importance, and growth potential.

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Science, or a related field.
  • 3–5+ years of relevant professional experience in Vendor Management, Sales, Business Development, Strategic Partnerships, Project Management, or a comparable role.
  • Experience in the Life Sciences industry, specifically in Life Science Sales, Scientific Distribution, Vendor/Supplier Management, or a closely related role.
  • Strong commercial and business acumen, with an understanding of pricing, margin/GP, ROI, profitability, and business performance.
  • Proven experience building and managing strong business relationships, including negotiating pricing, terms, incentives, and growth opportunities.
  • Strong analytical and data-driven mindset, with the ability to evaluate performance, identify trends and opportunities, and translate data into actionable recommendations.
  • Proficiency with spreadsheets, CRM systems, and BI/reporting tools, with the ability to manage data and develop meaningful performance reporting.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to communicate effectively with suppliers, internal stakeholders, and leadership.
  • Strong problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity, troubleshoot issues, and make sound business decisions.
  • Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, maintain data accuracy, and follow through on commitments.
  • Proactive, self-motivated, and willing to roll up your sleeves, with a demonstrated ability to take ownership and get things done in a fast-moving environment.
  • Collaborative and adaptable, with the ability to work independently, partner effectively across teams, and adjust to changing priorities.

What We Offer

  • Meaningful Work - Directly enable scientific discovery across biotech, pharma, and academia.
  • Remote-First Flexibility - Work from almost anywhere with autonomy and accountability.
  • Profitable & Growing - A stable, scaling business with clear long-term opportunity.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
