  • Collaborate closely with Finance, Engineering, Construction, and Field Operations to align procurement planning with project timelines and capital budgets.
  • Manage inventory forecasts, lead-time tracking, and material availability for both new builds and ongoing operations.
  • Continuously monitor market trends and supply chain disruptions to proactively adjust sourcing strategies.
  • Establish and monitor KPIs for procurement effectiveness, vendor performance, and financial impact; report regularly to the CFO and executive team.
  • Drive process improvements and technology adoption to scale procurement operations as the business grows.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, Finance, or related field.
  • 7+ years of experience in procurement, sourcing, or supply chain leadership, including 3+ years in a director or senior management role.
  • Telecom industry experience required, with direct involvement in FTTH and FTTB deployments.
  • Strong knowledge of fiber network components (fiber cable, enclosures, ONTs, OLTs, customer premises equipment, etc.) and construction workflows.
  • Proven success managing complex vendor relationships, multimillion-dollar contracts, and RFP processes.
  • Highly analytical with experience in budgeting, forecasting, and procurement-related financial reporting.
  • Excellent leadership, negotiation, and communication skills, with a strong ability to influence across departments and executive teams.

Preferred Experience:

  • Experience with residential and enterprise fiber builds in both urban and rural markets.
  • Familiarity with make-ready, permitting, and logistical challenges unique to telecom infrastructure deployment.
  • Experience with procurement systems or ERP platforms
