Havenly is searching for a U.S.

-based Furniture Sourcing Manager based in New York or Denver, to lead the strategic procurement and sourcing of upholstered furniture—sofas, sectionals, chairs and other soft seating—across our portfolio of brands. Reporting to the Senior Director of Supply Chain, this role will own the sourcing strategy for upholstered furniture, evaluate and onboard manufacturers, develop requests for proposals (RFPs) and negotiate contracts to secure the right quality at the best price.

The manager will work closely with our design and product teams to ensure that finished goods meet aesthetic, functional and sustainability goals while optimizing cost of goods sold through raw material and packaging efficiency.

• Own the sourcing strategy & vendor relationships: Establish category-wide sourcing strategies for upholstered furniture and manage long-term relationships with domestic and international vendors. This includes identifying and onboarding new factories and component suppliers, coordinating business reviews and ensuring suppliers meet quality and service standards.
• Negotiate pricing & lead RFPs: Lead RFPs for new product launches and negotiate pricing, payment terms and capacity commitments for furniture frames, foam, fabrics and packaging. Use market data to benchmark costs and secure competitive contracts.

Use these tools and your network to expand our vendor base and mitigate supply‑chain risk. Set the criteria for what makes a strong strategic vendor for the company.
• Cross‑functional collaboration: Collaborate with design, product development, merchandising, operations and finance teams to align sourcing decisions with design specifications, cost targets and timelines. Provide regular updates on project status, costs and risks.
• Quality & sustainability: Ensure that sourced furniture meets performance and durability standards and is produced in ethical and environmentally responsible factories. Develop supplier scorecards and drive continuous improvement.
