Construction Materials Procurement & Supply Chain Lead

Reframe Systems is a Physical AI and robotics company on a mission to make high-performance housing attainable and abundant in the communities where people want to live. Through our vertically integrated delivery model and highly automated microfactories, we deliver climate-resilient homes and buildings with greater speed and predictability than traditional construction.

Our volumetric modular buildings are produced in our Andover, MA microfactory, with a growing pipeline across North America and a new microfactory on the way. We are building a system that balances repeatability with site-responsive design, enabling homes adaptable to each site, community, and customer need. Our cross-disciplinary team brings together architecture, robotics, design engineering, software, factory operations, and field delivery to change how housing gets delivered.

We're reimagining the future of housing through a smarter and more sustainable system that empowers people to live better. Come build it with us.

We're hiring a Construction Materials Procurement & Supply Chain Lead to own the flow of materials from design decision to installation, across both the factory and the field.

This is a player-coach role. You will roll up your sleeves to run a lot of the day-to-day work (RFQs, POs, expedites, supplier management) for active single- and multi-family residential projects. In parallel, design the simple, reliable procurement and inventory system that future projects and factories can run on.

• Make sure materials never stall the schedule

  • Own material availability for both factory and jobsite, from permit set through installation.

  • Build and run a clear playbook for long-lead items so projects are not delayed by materials.

  • Reduce stockouts in kitting and on the floor by setting and managing min/max levels and reorder logic for stocked parts.

• Build the procurement & inventory "operating system"

  • Turn today's bill of materials, purchase logs, and ad‑hoc processes into a documented, teachable process that goes from permit set → BOM → RFQs → POs → receiving → kitting → project closeout.

  • Consult with software and finance teams on our bill of materials and materials data standards: part numbering, stock vs off-the-shelf rules, and how BOMs must be structured to be procurable and traceable.

  • Stand up a simple but robust inventory tracking approach using Google Sheets + Quick Books + existing tools, and use it as the basis for future ERP / WMS requirements.

• Lead supplier strategy for construction materials

  • Source and manage suppliers for structural lumber, sheathing, windows, doors, cabinets, MEP equipment, finishes, and other construction materials - for both factory and field.

  • Negotiate pricing, terms, and programs; launch 2-3 strategic supplier relationships in high-impact categories (e.g., windows, cabinets, structural lumber).

  • Decide when to buy-to-job versus buy-to-stock, balancing cash, space, and risk.

• Be embedded with designers, engineers, and operations

  • Work closely with cross-functional teams to connect material choices to cost, lead-time, installation effort, and supply-risk.

  • Propose and analyze material alternatives and supplier options; co-decide on changes that affect building systems, permitting, or installation.

  • Partner with Factory Operations, Production, and Site Operations to ensure material plans actually work on the floor and on site.

• Shape our future systems

  • Translate real-world workflows into clear requirements for a future ERP / WMS, in partnership with Software Teams and Finance.

  • Act as the primary operational stakeholder when we evaluate and implement more advanced systems in the next 1-2 years.

• Projects hit key milestones without…
