Procurement Manager
Austin, TX
$95,000 – $120,000 / year base
OVERVIEW
A growing real estate development company is hiring a Procurement Manager to turn design intent into finished, installed spaces across its pipeline of ground-up developments and renovation projects. You’ll own FF&E sourcing and purchasing end to end — from vendor selection through freight, customs, and final on-site installation — for luxury multifamily, student housing, and mixed-use properties.
This is a hands-on role for someone who can run procurement logistics at scale while also building and leading a team to do the same.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Source, purchase, and manage FF&E (furniture, fixtures & equipment) for ground-up developments and renovation projects
Own the full procurement cycle — vendor selection, purchase orders, freight, customs clearance, and on-site delivery/installation
Coordinate directly with design teams to turn design intent into real, installed spaces on schedule and on budget
Manage, train, and delegate across a procurement team, balancing hands-on execution with team leadership
Support acquisitions assessments and renovation scope planning with procurement-side input on cost and timeline
Oversee creative art installation and styling programs for completed properties
Track purchase orders, lead times, and vendor performance across multiple concurrent projects
Troubleshoot shipping delays, damaged goods, and vendor issues to keep installation schedules on track
Build and maintain vendor relationships that support quality, pricing, and reliability across the portfolio
WHY YOU MATTER
Every finished unit, amenity space, and lobby depends on the right furniture and fixtures showing up on time, intact, and on budget. You’re the one making sure design plans actually become real spaces — without blown budgets, missed move-in dates, or last-minute scrambles.
WHAT IT TAKES
4+ years of experience in FF&E procurement, purchasing, or sourcing for interior design, hospitality, multifamily, or commercial projects
Hands-on experience managing freight, customs clearance, and delivery logistics for large-scale installations
Experience managing or mentoring a procurement team, not just running your own purchase orders
Strong vendor management and negotiation skills
Comfortable juggling multiple active projects and deadlines at once
Sharp attention to detail — a damaged or late shipment can hold up an entire move-in
Experience supporting acquisitions assessments or renovation scoping is a plus
Strong organizational and communication skills across design, construction, and ownership teams
THE PERKS!
Discretionary annual performance/project bonus (~15% target)
Full corporate medical, dental, and vision coverage
401(k) with company matching
PTO and paid holidays
