job_description.job_card.job_descriptionStrategic Procurement Leadership : Develop and execute a global sourcing strategy aligned with aggressive growth goals and operational excellence. Champion innovation in supplier engagement, procurement technology, and process optimization. Supplier & Contract Management : Build and nurture long-term partnerships with domestic and international suppliers, especially across key categories such as linens, fleet management, temporary labor, chemicals, and capital equipment. Lead complex negotiations to secure best-in-class terms and mitigate risk. Operational Excellence : Oversee all procurement activities, ensuring seamless integration with operations, finance, and executive leadership. Implement robust procurement policies and leverage digital tools (MS Office, NetSuite preferred) to drive efficiency and transparency. Team Development : Inspire, mentor, and develop a lean team of procurement professionals. Foster a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and high performance. Analytics & Risk Management : Utilize advanced analytics and ERP systems to forecast demand, optimize inventory, and manage working capital. Monitor global market trends and proactively address supply chain risks. Cost Optimization : Identify and deliver significant cost savings while maintaining quality and service standards. Lead value engineering initiatives and track procurement ROI for executive stakeholders. Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree a plus. 10+ years of progressive procurement or purchasing experience, including 5+ years in a leadership role managing teams. Proven track record overseeing $60M+ in spend across diverse categories (linens, fleet, temporary labor, chemicals, office / industrial supplies, capital equipment, etc.). Demonstrated expertise sourcing both domestically and internationally, with strong acumen in direct supplier relationships in India, China, Pakistan, and beyond. Exceptional negotiation, decision-making, and project management skills. Experience working in a private equity environment; thrives under pressure and adapts quickly to change. Willingness to travel up to 20% (including international supplier visits and plant sites). Proficient in MS Office; NetSuite or similar ERP experience preferred. Industry experience in distribution, manufacturing, or related sectors. Hands-on, “roll up your sleeves” leadership style—comfortable being both tactical and strategic.
LHH Recruitment Solutions has partnered with a rapidly growing, private equity-backed organization, and they are seeking a motivated Vice President of Procurement to join their team. Seeking a dynamic procurement leader ready to make a transformative impact. This is a unique opportunity to shape procurement strategy, drive cost savings, and lead a small but high-performing team in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out :
- Influence the direction of a high-growth, PE-backed company.
- Work directly with C-suite executives and drive enterprise-wide impact.
- Competitive compensation and the chance to build something extraordinary.
- Be part of a culture that values innovation, agility, and results.
Key Responsibilities :
