Associate Manager, Fixture Procurement

The Associate Manager, Fixture Procurement is a key partner to the Manager in sourcing and procurement execution, strategic vendor management, contract compliance, and enterprise procurement objectives related to fixtures.

• Engage with cross-banner stakeholders (e.g. Merchandising, Store Design, Logistics) to understand business needs, upcoming initiatives, and competing priorities to deliver procurement timelines, scope, and service expectations.
• Work closely with the Store Support team to ensure ordering is executed through accurate Fixture Guides, or that net‑new fixture requirements are appropriately sourced; partner on vendor performance tracking and escalations as needed.

Strategic Vendor Support

• Develop supplier base and support strategic vendor management with the Manager, including performance reviews, issue resolution, and enterprise alignment to contract terms.
• Participate in negotiations and vendor governance meetings to reinforce expectations, track commitments, and drive accountability.

Qualifications & Skills

• Between 5 and 10 years of procurement/supply chain experience with increasing responsibility.
