Job Overview Our client is seeking a sharp, organized, part-time Procurement Specialist with a strong background in interior design or high-end architectural materials. In this role, you will be responsible for sourcing, purchasing, and coordinating the delivery of specialized interior fixtures, custom metal elements, and architectural finishes. Instead of traditional supply chain management, your focus will be on translating design intents into physical realities—negotiating with specialized design vendors, managing custom fabrication timelines, and ensuring every sourced item perfectly matches project specifications and quality standards.
Schedule Flexible during client business hours [CA, US Time] (20-25 hours per week)
Responsibilities Design Sourcing & Purchasing: Research, evaluate, and purchase architectural metal finishes, custom interior fixtures, and specialized decorative materials based on design specifications and project mood boards. FF&E & Vendor Management: Maintain and expand relationships with design showrooms, fabricators, and specialized artisans. Negotiate pricing, trade discounts, and production timelines. Project Coordination & Quality Control: Coordinate closely with the design/architectural team to forecast material needs, ensuring custom orders match exact design dimensions, finishes, and aesthetic requirements. Order Tracking & Logistics: Issue purchase orders (POs), track custom fabrication lead times, manage delivery logistics to project sites or warehouses, and swiftly resolve any issues with damaged goods or specification discrepancies.
Requirements Experience: 2–4 years of experience in procurement or purchasing specifically within the interior design, architectural, or luxury FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment) industries. Candidates with purely industrial supply chain backgrounds will not be considered. Design Sensibility: Ability to read architectural drawings, understand design specifications, and recognize high-quality materials and finishes (specifically decorative and architectural metals). Skills: Exceptional negotiation (including securing trade pricing), budget management, and relationship-building skills with boutique vendors and custom fabricators. Software Proficiency: Experience with design procurement software (e.g., Ivy, Studio Designer, Houzz Pro) or project management tools, alongside high proficiency in Microsoft Excel. Attributes: Highly organized with an obsessive attention to detail, a strong aesthetic eye, and the ability to multitask effectively in a deadline-driven project environment.
