Today
AeroFarms is building out our procurement function, and we're looking for a Manager of Procurement to be a key partner in that effort. This role is well-suited for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment and is energized by creating structure where it doesn't yet exist. You'll work closely with the Director of Procurement and cross-functional stakeholders (Finance, Operations, Sales, FSQA, and Engineering) to manage supplier relationships, drive cost savings, and bring rigor to sourcing processes. We're looking for someone who can think outside the box — whether that's navigating a supply chain disruption, identifying a non-obvious cost savings opportunity, or finding creative ways to support innovation and new product development. 

This is a hybrid position.  We would like someone who can be on-site in Danville 1-2 days/ week. 

What You'll Do

  • Own day-to-day management of key supplier relationships, including delivery timelines and issue resolution
  • Manage and maintain purchase orders end-to-end, including creation, tracking, and updates within the ERP system
  • Lead RFI/RFP processes from build-out through supplier selection and transition, driving COGS reduction across direct and indirect spend categories
  • Own category management strategy, balancing cost, quality, and supply continuity across assigned spend categories
  • Coordinate with domestic and overseas suppliers, inbound freight, customs brokers, and warehouse teams to ensure timely replenishment of materials
  • Develop contingency plans to mitigate supply chain disruptions and demand volatility
  • Own and maintain supply planning for assigned categories, applying strong forecasting and inventory management expertise to ensure continuity of materials
  • Partner with Finance to ensure accuracy across invoices as well as maintaining contracts within the ERP
  • Prepare clear, leadership-ready reporting and updates on supplier performance, cost initiatives, and procurement projects

What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years of experience in procurement or supply chain, with exposure to strategic sourcing
  • Demonstrated experience building RFI/RFP processes from the ground up
  • Track record of identifying and delivering COGS reduction initiatives
  • Strong analytical skills, including comfort with Excel-based cost modeling and inventory tracking
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting to senior stakeholders
  • Strong collaboration and relationship management skills, including Supplier Relationship Management (SRM), with the addition to build trust across internal stakeholders
  • Strong proficiency with ERP systems (Dynamics, SAP, or NetSuite)
  • Experience working within Supply Planning
  • Experience supporting Innovation and Commercialization processes

Nice to Have

  • Experience with food-grade packaging materials
  • Background in indirect procurement categories
  • Experience sourcing agricultural materials or working with agtech/CPG supply chains
