Director, Vendor Programs at CAM Collective | P&L

Compensation & Market Positioning: The $125,000 base salary is competitive for a senior vendor management or strategic sourcing director role in the US, though on the lower end for director-level positions at large enterprises (which typically range $130K–$180K+). The quarterly bonus adds upside. For a growth-stage platform company, this is solid total compensation.

Career Development Signals: This role offers high-impact ownership — P&L responsibility for a national vendor program, people leadership of regional managers, and direct executive reporting. These are strong résumé-builders for anyone targeting VP of Procurement, Chief Procurement Officer, or VP of Partnerships roles.

High-Demand Skills You'll Build:

• GPO and national contract negotiation (increasingly valued in fragmented industries)
• Multi-market vendor program management and SLA governance
• People leadership across distributed/regional teams
• Financial analysis tied to margin and category performance

Company Stage & Culture: The CAM Collective reads as a PE-backed or growth-stage roll-up platform — a fast-moving environment where individual contributors have outsized impact. This is a green flag for ambitious operators who want speed and ownership, and a potential yellow flag for those who prefer established processes and stability.

Green Flags: Clear reporting structure, well-defined scope, offshore team support reducing admin burden.
Watch for: Rapid acquisition pace means constant organizational change — adaptability is essential.

The CAM Collective is a growing platform of community association management companies. We partner with strong operators and provide shared services, capital, and strategic infrastructure so Member Companies can scale without losing local expertise or service quality.

Acquisition is core to our growth strategy — both new Member Companies and tuck-ins to existing ones. CAM is the core of our platform today, and we are actively expanding into adjacent verticals such as residential rental and other related businesses.

CommunityGPO is the group purchasing organization (GPO) of The CAM Collective (TCC), a national network of community association management (CAM) companies. CommunityGPO uses the combined scale of TCC's Member Companies (MCs) to secure better pricing, terms, and service through a standardized national vendor network.

Reporting to Marc McCoy, Director of Services, you'll own CommunityGPO's national preferred vendor program end to end: vendor selection, MSA negotiation, rollout to Member Companies, and the revenue and margin results. You'll also lead the Regional Preferred Vendor Managers who execute the program in local markets.
