Lead, Mobility Procurement & Supply Chain Systems

Description

Connect Us is seeking a systems-driven technology procurement leader to take ownership of our sourcing ecosystem across hundreds of vendors in the brand-new and secondary mobile device market.

As the Lead, Mobility Procurement & Supply Chain Systems, you’ll architect and optimize the systems, tools, and supplier relationships that power Connect Us’ procurement engine.

This is not a routine purchasing position — it’s a leadership role for someone who thrives on complexity, builds scalable systems, and turns fragmented markets into predictable, data-driven supply chains. You’ll serve as the bridge between technology, process, and people — driving structure, transparency, and efficiency across every aspect of mobile device sourcing.

• Design, implement, and continuously improve procurement workflows and data systems that support Connect Us’ rapid growth and evolving customer needs.
• Serve as the internal subject-matter expert for sourcing systems (ERP, CRM, vendor APIs, and marketplace tools).
• Lead automation and integration initiatives that reduce manual processes and improve accuracy across purchasing, inventory, and logistics.
• Create dashboards and reporting tools to track vendor performance, cost savings, and sourcing velocity.

• Oversee a network of hundreds of global vendors across carriers, OEMs, and secondary marketplaces.
• Develop and maintain a structured vendor rating system that prioritizes speed, reliability, and value.
• Negotiate complex agreements, master purchase terms, and large-volume buys that align with business goals.
• Identify, onboard, and nurture high-performing vendor relationships that create competitive advantage.

• Monitor market trends, pricing shifts, and emerging technologies to inform sourcing strategies.
• Collaborate with sales and operations to forecast device demand and align supply accordingly.
• Leverage analytics to anticipate shortages, identify overstock risks, and propose strategic purchasing adjustments.

• Partner with sales, operations, and finance leaders to synchronize purchasing timelines with customer deployments.
• Act as the sourcing team’s key liaison to executive leadership — communicating insights, risks, and strategic opportunities.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives across departments that depend on efficient device sourcing.

• Lead, mentor, and develop a small team of sourcing specialists and coordinators.
• Instill a systems-thinking mindset across the team — empowering them to solve problems through technology and process, not just transactions.

• Competitive compensation and performance-based incentives.
• Opportunity to build and lead systems that power enterprise-scale mobile deployments.
• Professional growth within a fast-growing, technology-focused company.
• A culture centered on innovation, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain, Information Systems, or related field.
• 5+ years of experience in sourcing, procurement, or supply-chain operations (mobility or technology industry preferred).
• Proven success managing vendor networks and purchasing programs at scale.
• Advanced proficiency with ERP, CRM, or procurement systems — and a strong curiosity for learning new technologies.
• Demonstrated experience optimizing complex processes through automation or data-driven tools.
• Exceptional analytical, negotiation, and organizational skills.
• Leadership experience in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.
