Procurement & Sourcing Manager

Reports to:
Chief Financial Officer

Member of:
Finance Team / Supply Chain

The Procurement & Sourcing Manager owns how Premier Home Pros buys, turning demand signals, vendor terms, and landed-cost data into a supply base that delivers the right product, at the right total cost, to the Brunswick Distribution Center and out to its branch network without stalling an install. Premier is a rapidly expanding, multi-state quick turn bathroom-remodeling and flooring platform where product moves from the distribution center through the branches to the customer’s home, so this role sits at the intersection of cost, service, and cash.

The role is responsible for building a resilient, well-diversified vendor base, ensuring landed cost is captured accurately across the product portfolio, maintaining clear visibility into open and in-transit purchase orders, rationalizing the SKU catalog, and strengthening everyday purchasing discipline. It is a builder’s and operator’s role, suited to someone equally comfortable negotiating a container program with an offshore manufacturer and improving the purchasing workflows underneath it, who treats modern, AI-assisted automation as core to how a lean procurement team should operate.

• Diversify the vendor base. Own the strategy to reduce single-vendor dependence and build supply resilience across categories; qualify and onboard secondary and dual-source suppliers while preserving the cost, quality, and relationship benefits of strategic partners, favoring a phased transition over abrupt change.
• Qualify new manufacturers end to end. Run the qualification process from first contact to first production container, including samples, factory audit, category certifications (e.g., cUPC, Floor Score), MOQ and lead-time terms, AQL quality standards, and a pilot before committing volume.
• Own negotiations and vendor relationships. Manage pricing, deposit and payment terms, order cadence, tooling, and capacity commitments; run structured business reviews with key suppliers and track them against service and quality scorecards.
• Manage price changes analytically. When a vendor proposes a price increase, work through a cost-bucket view (materials, labor, freight, FX, margin) to distinguish genuine cost movement from margin expansion, and use competitive bids and volume as leverage in the conversation.

• Own landed-cost accuracy. Partner with Finance and Logistics so that freight, duty, drayage, and other import costs are consistently captured and loaded to item cost, using a defensible, documented allocation method.
• Think in total cost of ownership. Build tariff, ocean-freight, and FX considerations into sourcing and reorder decisions and into product costing; evaluate dual-source, nearshore, and reshore trade-offs on a landed / TCO basis rather than FOB price alone.
• Track cost variance. Monitor purchase-price and landed-cost variance against standard and model cost, explain the drivers, and provide clean cost signals to Finance for margin and pricing decisions.

• Own the PO lifecycle. Establish and reinforce entering purchase orders at time of order so open-PO and in-transit visibility is reliable, and support the team in adopting the workflow.
• Run the exception-based order desk. Own the auto-ordering exception queue (backordered and blocked jobs), keep the vendor-to-SKU mapping current, and maintain suggested-PO logic.
• Keep the open-PO book clean. Manage open-PO aging, close out stale POs, and own receipt-to-bill (three-way match) reconciliation so purchasing, receiving, and AP stay aligned.
• Rationalize the assortment. Lead SKU rationalization across the product portfolio, consolidating duplicative items, standardizing specifications, and phasing out slow-moving and obsolete SKUs in partnership with Product, Sales, and Operations.
• Own item-master integrity. Keep the product and vendor item master clean and mapped across Lead Perfection and Fishbowl (including serialization where applicable) so that cost, sourcing, and planning read from one source of truth.
