Manager, Indirect Procurement
Job Description
Comoto is moving fast, and our procurement engine needs to keep pace. We are looking for a Procurement Manager to take the reins of our established Goods Not For Resale (GNFR) function and professionalize it for our next chapter of growth. Reporting directly to the CFO, you won’t be starting from a blank page; instead, you’ll be the strategic lead tasked with optimizing our existing vendor ecosystem and maturing our processes. This is a role for a high-level collaborator who can navigate a complex retail landscape, refine our contract standards, and ensure every partnership we have is working as hard as we are.
Qualifications
- 8+ Years of Procurement Grit: You’ve spent nearly a decade in the field, with at least 3 years leading strategy for non-inventory (GNFR) goods and services.
- The "Scaler" Toolkit: You have a deep mastery of procurement best practices and can professionalize an existing function without slowing it down.
- Contract & Negotiation Mastery: You have a documented track record of securing favorable terms and protecting the business through rigorous SLA enforcement.
- Analytical Precision: You are a data-driven problem solver who can dive into the details of spend analysis to find hidden efficiencies.
- High-Stakes Collaboration: You build immediate credibility with internal stakeholders and vendors alike, turning procurement into a partner, not a hurdle.
- Systems Expertise: You are proficient in modern procurement tools—Coupa experience is a major plus.
- Leadership & Credentials: You have a natural ability to manage a team and drive results; a certification like CSCP, CPIM, or CIPS is a strong signal of your expertise.
