Procurement Manager - Component Sourcing

Procurement Manager — Component Sourcing & Domestic Operations
Chefman | Mahwah, NJ

About the Role

Chefman is seeking a hands-on Procurement Manager to own a dual-scope procurement function: strategic sourcing of components from foreign manufacturers, and broader sourcing across logistics, capital expenditures, and domestic vendor relationships supporting our facilities and operations. This is an individual, hands-on role, not a team-management position, built for someone who negotiates directly, wherever the negotiation is happening, and doesn't rely on intermediaries to close a deal.

Operations & Supplier Management

• Serve as the primary point of contact for negotiations with vendors, taking ownership of pricing discussions and challenging existing cost structures to drive continuous savings
• Proactively identify, vet, and onboard new suppliers to diversify and strengthen the vendor base, reducing single-source risk
• Foreign travel (25%) to conduct in-person supplier negotiations, factory audits, and production trials, and to build direct relationships with vendor leadership teams
