  • Oversee Vendor Administration & Invoicing: Oversee the end-to-end administrative workflows for the vendor portfolio, ensuring seamless transactional operations.
  • Build & Lead a High-Performing Team: Build, mentor, and lead a dedicated team of vendor managers and specialists, fostering a culture of operational excellence, process rigor, and continuous professional development.

You have:

  • BA/BS Degree: BA/BS degree in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, Finance, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
  • Enterprise Vendor Management Experience: 7-10 years of experience leading vendor management, operational procurement, or supplier relations.

  • Leadership & Resource Orchestration: Experience in a formal management or team leadership capacity, with a demonstrated ability to mentor team members, strategically allocate resources, and drive alignment.

We prefer:

  • Diverse Vendor Category Management: Experience managing and negotiating across a highly diverse portfolio of operational vendors, including construction contractors, facilities maintenance teams, physical security and guarding services, etc.
  • New Market Expansion Scaling: Proven experience establishing third-party vendor networks, service coverage, and local supplier agreements from scratch during new market entries or geographic expansions.

Why it works

3×

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.
