Oakline is hiring a Senior Manager, Strategic Procurement to lead procurement as a platform-wide value-creation function. This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role reporting to the VP of Integration, with direct impact on operating performance across every Oakline partner organization. The person in this seat owns the design and execution of Oakline’s sourcing strategy: the vendor programs, category frameworks, governance, and procurement infrastructure that convert scale into measurable, durable savings.

Procurement at Oakline is a core value driver, not a back-office function. Vendor costs spanning maintenance and facilities, make-ready and unitturns, MRO supply, landscaping,waste, utilities, insurance and employee benefits, and enterprise technology flow directly through to asset-level NOI and EBITDA across the portfolio.

The roleoperatesat two levels. At the platform level, it sets the standards, tools, and governance that define how Oakline sources and manages vendors, including the vendor taxonomy, RFx process, bid analysis, supplier scorecards, and savings-trackingmethodology. At the partner level, it engages directly with property-management operators across the portfolio to drive adoption, close compliance gaps, and turn preferred-vendor agreements into realized savings.

Because Oakline operates a decentralized set of partner companies, this role succeeds through influence and credibility rather than positional authority.

Reporting into Integration, the leader treats procurement asavalue creationlever: each newlyacquiredpartnerrepresentsa fresh surface of spend, contracts, and vendor relationships to be assessed, onboarded, and brought under enterprise standards on a predictable timeline. Day to day, the leader owns category management end-to-end, running sourcing initiatives across priority categories from supplierselectionthrough contract negotiation and ongoing performance management, and building category-level spend visibility and cost-reduction roadmaps.

They stand up the preferred-vendor program category by category, including the governance model that holds pricing compliance and contract adherence across the portfolio, and establish a benefits-tracking methodology spanning hard savings, cost avoidance, and rebates, reporting outcomes in the language operatorsunderstand:cost-per-unit and annual spend reduction.
