Our retail operation needs an experienced hand to take full ownership of supplier sourcing. The role centers on identifying, qualifying, and onboarding both local and international vendors so that our product mix stays competitive on cost, quality, and speed to shelf. You will step straight into an environment that values clear data, decisive action, and measured savings. Day-to-day work means scanning the market, benchmarking prices, visiting factories or showrooms when required, and turning your findings into actionable sourcing strategies. Contract negotiation and inventory control are handled by other teams, so your energy remains focused on building and refreshing the supplier pipeline. To know we are on track, I will consider the job a success when: • A vetted shortlist of primary and secondary suppliers is delivered for each key product category. • Comparative cost analyses highlight projected savings or margin improvements. • A 90-day roadmap shows timelines for sample approvals, compliance checks, and onboarding. Proficiency with common e-procurement tools, a knack for cultivating supplier relationships across cultures, and the confidence to present data-driven recommendations to senior leadership are essential. If that sounds like your wheelhouse, let’s talk specifics.

Hi there, We can support this with a structured supplier sourcing and qualification approach focused on market scanning, supplier benchmarking, and clear decision-ready outputs. Our work would cover vetted primary and secondary supplier shortlists, comparative cost analysis, and a 90-day onboarding roadmap that reflects sample approvals and compliance checks. One point to confirm is the key product categories and any existing supplier criteria so the search is targeted and measurable. Best Regards, 8veer

I understand you need a Senior Retail Procurement Lead to drive supplier sourcing, focusing on cost, quality, and speed to market. My experience aligns perfectly, having recently streamlined a similar retail operation's vendor onboarding process, resulting in a 15% reduction in lead times and a 10% cost saving through strategic international sourcing. My approach involves leveraging advanced market intelligence tools and data analytics to identify high-potential local and international suppliers. I'll conduct thorough due diligence, including supplier audits and capability assessments, to ensure alignment with your quality and speed requirements. This will be followed by data-driven negotiation strategies to secure optimal pricing and contract terms, with a clear framework for inventory control and performance monitoring. What are your current key performance indicators for supplier performance, and what specific challenges are you encountering with your existing vendor base? I'm keen to discuss how my expertise can directly address these.

Hello, "vetted shortlist of primary and secondary suppliers" – you need a reliable pipeline that keeps costs low, quality high and shelves stocked. I’ll build a weighted scoring matrix that ranks vendors on cost, quality, lead‑time and compliance, and automate the data pull with Python‑pandas so the shortlist is ready in under a day. I’ll also flag duplicate SKUs across vendors early, preventing later inventory mismatches. Which product categories should I prioritize for the first 90‑day roadmap? Looking forward to working with you. Artur Giżycki

I've spent 6+ years managing procurement end-to-end in the Dominican Republic — sourcing and qualifying suppliers for food distribution contracts and government tenders, where every award depends on rigorous vendor comparison and cost benchmarking. For your project I would deliver exactly what you outlined: (1) a vetted shortlist of primary and secondary suppliers per key category, scored on cost, quality and lead time; (2) comparative cost matrices in Excel showing projected savings per category; (3) a 90-day roadmap covering sample approvals, compliance checks and onboarding milestones. I work daily with supplier comparison templates, price reconciliation against contract documents, and structured Excel reporting for decision-makers. Fully bilingual (English/Spanish), which also opens Latin American supplier markets if useful to your mix. Question to scope this well: which product categories are the first priority, and do you already use an e-procurement platform I should align with?
