Procurement Associate

About The Company

Founded in 2008 by Ross Sapir, Roadway Moving is built on the core principles of accountability, kindness, generosity, and dedication. These values drive a culture of excellence, where our people—not just our trucks—set us apart in a crowded industry. We believe in investing in both our employees and our clients, fostering an environment rooted in respect, urgency, clear communication, and appreciation. At Roadway, we don’t just move boxes, we move lives, and we do it with a commitment to making the experience remarkable for everyone involved.

As we scale, the need for centralized, data-driven procurement and vendor management has become critical. This role will serve as the operational backbone for all vendor relationships, uniform and materials inventory, and branch-level compliance — ensuring that every location operates from the same playbook and that costs are tracked, visible, and controlled.

Responsibilities

Uniform & Inventory Management

• Own the Roadway merch store end-to-end: product catalog, inventory levels, order fulfillment, and compliance enforcement
• Monitor branch-level uniform distribution and ensure all managers are processing orders through the designated store platform (no bypassing the system)
• Generate and distribute weekly inventory reports; flag discrepancies and hold branch managers accountable to the process
• Coordinate with the uniform vendor on reorders, quality issues, and delivery timelines
  
  

Vendor & Materials Procurement

• Manage relationships with all active vendors including blanket suppliers, rug runner vendors, and the primary materials vendor
• Work toward establishing direct vendor-to-branch shipping for each of Roadways 8 locations by eliminating internal redistribution and improving cost tracking per branch
• Maintain up-to-date vendor contracts, pricing agreements, and compliance documentation
• Identify opportunities to consolidate vendors, renegotiate terms, or reduce lead times
  
  

Cost Tracking & Branch Separation

• Build and maintain a branch-level cost allocation model so that material spend is accurately attributed per location, not estimated
• Partner with the CFO to provide real procurement data to replace approximations in financial reporting
• Track spend trends over time and proactively surface savings opportunities or budget risks
  
  

Compliance & Process Enforcement

• Ensure branch managers adhere to established ordering and reporting protocols
• Proactively communicate process expectations, deadlines, and consequences for non-compliance
• Document all procurement processes in clear SOPs to ensure continuity regardless of personnel changes
  
  

Required

• 3+ years of experience in procurement, vendor management, or supply chain operations with US based company
• Experience with managing WooCommerce stores and comfortable knowledge working with basic website settings
• Strong analytical skills, comfortable building reports, identifying discrepancies, and communicating data clearly
• Experience managing multiple vendor relationships simultaneously across different product categories
• Proficiency in Excel or equivalent data tools; familiarity with inventory or ERP systems is a plus
• Exceptional organizational skills with strong attention to detail and follow-through
• Clear, professional communicator, both written and verbal, capable of holding stakeholders accountable without friction
  
  

Preferred

• Background in operations, logistics, or a service-based industry
• Experience with e-commerce or branded merchandise store management
• Familiarity with cost center accounting or branch-level P&L reporting
• Exposure to Lean or process improvement methodologies
• Experience building or contributing to internal operational platforms or tools
