Senior Director, Procurement

We’re looking for a Senior Director, Procurement & Supply Chain to build and lead the procurement and supply chain function for Collectors. This role owns enterprise-wide sourcing and vendor management for all non-technology spend—from the physical materials that are central to our grading operations (holders, slabs, labels, packaging, and shipping supplies) to professional services, facilities, and indirect spend. You’ll establish strategic sourcing practices, negotiate key supplier agreements, optimize our supply chain to support high-volume operations across multiple facilities, and drive cost savings and efficiency improvements that directly impact the bottom line.

Collectors processes millions of collectible items each year across sites in California, New Jersey, Texas, Florida, and internationally, making supply chain reliability and procurement discipline critical to our business.
* Own the end-to-end supplier relationship lifecycle: identification, qualification, RFP/RFQ management, negotiation, contracting, onboarding, performance management, and renewal or exit.

* Establish a formal supplier performance management program with scorecards, quarterly business reviews, and continuous improvement targets for critical suppliers.
* Develop a diverse and resilient supplier base; identify and qualify alternative sources to mitigate single-source risk, particularly for production-critical materials like holders and labels.
* Manage enterprise-wide vendor relationships for professional services (consulting, legal, audit, staffing) and facilities-related services; rationalize the vendor portfolio and eliminate redundant spend.
* Lead and develop the procurement and supply chain team, including the Director of Procurement/Strategic Sourcing and Supply Chain Operations staff; set clear goals, provide coaching, and build a high-performing organization.
* Professionalize the function by establishing standard operating procedures, role definitions, and career paths that attract and retain top talent.
* Build the team’s capabilities over time to support Collectors’ growth—including international procurement needs as the company’s global footprint expands.
* Foster cross-functional relationships with Operations, Finance, Legal, and IT to ensure procurement and supply chain are aligned with business priorities.
* 12+ years of progressive procurement and/or supply chain experience, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role; experience must include direct and indirect procurement of physical goods in a manufacturing, production, or high-volume operations environment.
* Proven track record leading strategic sourcing initiatives that deliver measurable cost savings, quality improvements, and supply chain efficiencies at scale.
* Strong supplier negotiation skills with experience managing complex, multi-year supply agreements for physical materials and production inputs.
* Experience managing supply chain operations across multiple sites, including inventory management, demand planning, and logistics optimization.
* Deep understanding of procure-to-pay processes, purchase order management, and procurement controls; experience implementing or optimizing procurement systems within an ERP environment (Net Suite preferred).
* Comfortable managing enterprise-wide vendor relationships across both physical materials and professional services categories.
* Strong analytical and financial acumen; able to build and present business cases, develop spend analytics, and communicate ROI to senior leadership.
