Build cleaner, greener workplaces-with purpose.

At Verde Clean, we're more than a facilities services company-we're a mission-driven team working toward healthier spaces and a greener world. Founded in 2019, we are a proud Hispanic-owned, certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) delivering sustainable, eco-friendly solutions to commercial clients nationwide. From green cleaning and recycling to cleanroom support and composting, we help organizations live their values through cleaner operations.

We're growing fast-and we're looking for a talented Procurement Specialist to help lead that growth with strategy, impact, and sustainability at the core.

About the Role

As our Procurement Specialist, you'll lead end-to-end sourcing and procurement operations that drive cost savings, supplier diversity, and eco-conscious purchasing. This role combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution and is perfect for someone who knows that procurement isn't just about cutting costs-it's about building value across people, planet, and performance.

What You'll Do

  • Lead sourcing and procurement across key categories with a focus on cost, quality, sustainability, and compliance

  • Develop and implement sourcing strategies that reflect Verde's environmental and social goals

  • Manage competitive bidding cycles (RFQs, RFPs), negotiate contracts, and mitigate supplier risk

  • Build and manage strong supplier relationships-especially diverse and eco-responsible vendors

  • Coordinate vendor setup and procurement for new client site launches

  • Oversee purchase order and accounts payable workflows

  • Track procurement KPIs, conduct spend analysis, and drive continuous process improvement

  • Manage fleet vehicles (insurance, registration, maintenance) and ensure operational vendor compliance

  • Maintain inventory and asset tracking across sites

Who You Are

  • A Procurement Specialist who sees sourcing as a strategic driver-not just a support function

  • Collaborative and clear communicator across departments and leadership

  • Analytical, detail-oriented, and highly organized under pressure

  • Comfortable using procurement tools and financial models to make smart decisions

  • Passionate about sustainable sourcing, supplier diversity, and positive change

What You Bring

  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Business, Finance, or related field

  • 3-5 years in a Procurement and Sourcing, strategic sourcing, or supply chain leadership role

  • Proven track record in cost savings, supplier evaluation, and performance improvement

  • Skilled in contract negotiation, vendor management, and procurement law

  • Experience with tools like Coupa, Ariba, or SAP; strong Excel proficiency

  • Preferred: CPSM, CPSD, or MBA; deep knowledge of sustainable procurement

Why Verde Clean?

Join a fast-growing, mission-driven company shaping the future of green facilities services

  • Work with a diverse and inclusive team that lives its values

  • Make a measurable impact-on clients, communities, and the planet

  • Enjoy competitive salary and benefits in a high-accountability, high-support culture

Our Commitment to Equity

At Verde Clean, we believe diverse teams build better businesses. As a certified MBE, we actively support supplier diversity and inclusive hiring. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer.

If you're a forward-thinking Procurement Specialist ready to turn strategy into sustainable action, apply now and join us in building a cleaner, greener world.
