Position Summary Dynamic Electric is seeking a hands-on Procurement Director to build and lead the company's procurement function as the business continues to grow. This leader will own supplier strategy, vendor negotiations, purchasing controls, inventory discipline, material availability, and procurement reporting. The role is responsible for reducing total material cost while protecting cash flow and ensuring field teams receive the right materials at the right time. This is a build-and-lead role. We’ve had managers in this role, and we’re excited for the first time to hire at the executive level. The Procurement Director will first learn how Dynamic currently estimates, purchases, receives, tracks, transfers, and uses material, then establish the systems, controls, metrics, and supplier strategies needed to create a scalable procurement function. You know this job is for you if you’re analytical, driven, decisive, detail-oriented, strategic, organized, resourceful, accountable, and naturally curious. You like solving complex problems, finding efficiencies, asking the right questions, challenging the status quo, and making decisions based on facts. You’re highly adaptable, thrive in a fast-paced environment, hold yourself and others to high standards, and don’t need to be told what to do. You’re confident navigating ambiguity, comfortable taking ownership, and energized by building better systems, negotiating smart solutions, and getting results. Key Responsibilities Develop and execute an annual procurement strategy aligned with company growth, project schedules, margin goals, and cash-flow priorities. Lead supplier sourcing, annual pricing negotiations, commercial terms, volume agreements, and strategic vendor relationships. Leverage company-wide purchasing volume by material category to improve pricing, payment terms, service levels, rebates, and delivery commitments. Own material cost savings against budget and partner with Accounting to validate and report realized savings. Oversee the purchase-order process, including PO creation standards, approvals, receiving, reconciliation, and timely closure. Ensure materials are available when needed by the field while minimizing emergency purchases, project delays, and unnecessary expediting. Maintain inventory on hand below the company target of $200,000 while protecting operational readiness. Establish controls for jobsite inventory, warehouse inventory, material transfers, returns, excess stock, waste, and loss. Analyze purchasing and material data to identify price variance, overbuying, supplier issues, savings opportunities, and process gaps. Build procurement dashboards, scorecards, and reporting for leadership covering savings, inventory, pricing trends, delivery performance, budget performance, waste/loss, and material-related job delays. Partner closely with Operations, Estimating, Project Management, Accounting, Warehouse, and field leadership to improve planning and purchasing decisions. Monitor electrical-material lead times, supplier capacity, market pricing, and supply risks; develop alternatives and recovery plans for long-lead or unavailable materials. Create scalable procurement policies, workflows, controls, and accountability standards within Simpro and related business systems. Develop the purchasing team and establish clear roles, performance expectations, and accountability as the function grows.
