- Act as the senior escalation point for critical vendor, supply-chain and commercial issues .

What We're Looking For

- 14–20 years of Procurement/Supply Chain experience , including 4–5+ years in a national, regional or multi-city leadership role.
- Strong preference for experience in Commercial Interiors, Design & Build, Construction, Real Estate, EPC or other project-led businesses .
- Deep expertise in Strategic Sourcing, Vendor Development, Rate Contracts and Category Management .
- Solid understanding of procurement across Civil, MEP, Furniture, Fixtures, Flooring, Ceiling, Joinery and Finishing categories .
