• Develop and improve procurement processes, tools, reporting, and vendor management practices as the company scales.
• Manage multiple sourcing initiatives independently and provide recommendations and results to senior leadership.

Requirements

• Self‑starter with an ownership mindset, driven to learn fast, go deep, and become a true expert in procurement, construction, and supplier strategy.
• Builder who can own cost from concept to completion, coordinating estimates across design phases, procuring GCs, architects, and engineers, and managing contracts while maintaining tight control over project cash flow.
• Strong negotiator who leads sourcing efforts end‑to‑end, confidently navigating complex, high‑stakes vendor, supplier, and contractor negotiations to consistently secure best‑in‑class terms.
• Operator who can orchestrate pricing, logistics, and sequencing of specialized kitchen construction materials across a national footprint with precision and speed.
• Cross‑functional partner who works closely with KOB teams to procure and deliver kitchen equipment tailored to licensee needs, balancing customization with scalability.
