JOB OVERVIEW

Overview
This role owns the execution and tracking layer of procurement. It sits downstream of validated procurement input and is responsible for placing orders, managing vendor communication, tracking delivery, and maintaining accurate records across all active items.

The role combines execution and tracking into a single function to ensure continuity, speed, and accountability. It does not define what to buy. It ensures what has been approved gets executed correctly and monitored until completion.

Core Function
Take validated procurement packages and drive them through ordering, tracking, and issue resolution with full visibility and accuracy.

Key Responsibilities

Execution (Order Placement and Vendor Coordination)
- Place orders based on validated and approved procurement lists
- Communicate directly with vendors for order confirmation, pricing, and details
- Ensure orders match approved specifications (SKU, quantity, finish, dimensions)
- Confirm payment status before order processing where applicable

Tracking (End-to-End Visibility)
- Track all active orders from placement to final delivery
- Monitor ETA, shipping status, and transit updates
- Maintain up-to-date procurement tracker with:
- Order dates
- ETA updates
- Payment status
- Delivery status
- Receipt documentation

Issue Management (RTS, Delays, Exceptions)
- Identify delays, discrepancies, or risks early
- Proactively follow up with vendors on late shipments or missing information
- Escalate issues with clear data and context
- Coordinate with procurement manager and design team when intervention is required
- Data Accuracy and Reporting
- Maintain high accuracy in procurement sheets and tracking systems
- Ensure all records are complete, consistent, and audit-ready
- Support cost tracking and reconciliation inputs when needed
- Provide clear status updates across all active orders

Process Discipline
- Follow standardized workflows for execution and tracking
- Ensure no order is placed without proper validation and approval
- Maintain consistency in naming, documentation, and tracking structure

Cross-Functional Coordination
- Work closely with Procurement Manager for approvals and escalations
- Coordinate with Design Team when clarification is required post-order
- Support internal visibility by keeping trackers clean and current

Key Requirements

- Strong attention to detail and data accuracy
- Ability to manage multiple orders across projects simultaneously
- Strong follow-up discipline and accountability
- Add the work roof to your cover letter/procurement experience
- Comfortable working in structured workflows and tracking systems
- Clear written communication for vendor and internal coordination

Preferred Background
- Experience in interior design, FF&E procurement, or construction-related sourcing
- Familiarity with international vendors and shipping timelines
- Experience using spreadsheets or procurement tracking tools

Success Metrics
- Accuracy of procurement tracker (minimal data errors)
