With 9 state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, 15 distribution centers, and more than 900 employees across 20+ locations throughout North America, we continue to grow through innovation, operational excellence, and a relentless commitment to delivering exceptional products and experiences. We move quickly, think big, and empower our people to make an impact-all within a collaborative, inclusive, and performance-driven environment.\n We are looking for an experienced and hands-on Procurement Supervisor to serve as the operational lead to our site-level buyers. This is a pivotal role at Techo-Bloc - one that keeps the procurement team aligned, supported, and running at a high level across all sites.\nYou will be the first point of contact for our Procurement team on day-to-day challenges - helping resolve supplier issues, setting priorities, reviewing complex purchasing decisions, and coordinating across departments. At the same time, you will carry your own portfolio of suppliers and purchasing responsibilities, setting the standard for what great procurement execution looks like at Techo-Bloc.\nThis role is ideal for someone who has grown beyond individual-contributor procurement work and is ready to take on a leadership dimension - someone who builds trust with their team, thrives in a fast-paced operational environment, and is motivated by team success as much as personal execution.\nKey Responsibilities\nTeam Support & Supervision\nAct as the primary day-to-day resource and first escalation point for site buyers, providing guidance on purchasing decisions, supplier issues, and cross-functional coordination. \nHelp the team prioritize urgent needs, shortages, and competing demands across multiple sites. \nSupport onboarding, training, and the ongoing development of procurement team \nMonitor team purchasing activity and flag risks or escalations to the Procurement Manager as needed. \nEnsure purchasing controls, documentation standards, and process consistency are maintained across the team. \nRun regular team check-ins, support workload balancing, and contribute to performance feedback, objective follow-up, and coverage planning. \nContribute to continuous improvement by identifying process gaps and helping implement practical improvements across the team. \nOperational Purchasing\nLead resolution of escalated supplier situations requiring senior judgment - pricing disputes, lead time negotiations, and critical shortages. \nCommunicate supply risks, delays, and changes to internal stakeholders clearly and in a timely manner. \nTrack and report KPIs - on-time delivery, cost savings, PO cycle time, supplier performance - and drive corrective action when targets slip. \nEnforce purchasing policy, approval workflows, and internal controls, and maintain audit-ready purchasing records across the team. \nPartner with Planning and Operations to support inventory health, MRP review, min/max accuracy, shortage prevention. \nMaster Data & ERP Oversight (D365)\nSupport master data quality across the team's work in D365, including item masters, vendor setups, UOM configurations, and item-vendor relationships. \nReview and support approval of data changes that carry operational or financial risk. \nEnsure data accuracy across sites to support reliable purchasing, planning, and inventory reporting. \nSupport change management for D365, reporting tools, and new procurement processes by helping train users, reinforce adoption, and identify gaps after implementation. \nCross-Functional Coordination\nServe as a senior procurement point of contact for Operations, Logistics, Customer Service, Finance, and Yard teams when escalations or cross-site issues arise. \nHelp the team navigate competing priorities and align with internal stakeholders on timelines, stocking plans, and delivery ETAs. \nPartner with the Procurement Manager on supplier strategy and team development priorities. \nLead or support vendor performance reviews, supplier scorecards, corrective action follow-ups, and recurring discussions with key suppliers when chronic issues arise. \n 5+ years of experience in purchasing, supply chain, or a related operational environment. \nPrior experience leading, mentoring, or supervising a team - formal or informal. \nStrong hands-on experience with ERP systems, preferably Microsoft Dynamics 365 (AX, SAP, or similar also considered). \nProven ability to manage supplier relationships, resolve escalations, and make sound purchasing decisions under pressure. \nAvailable to travel between sites as needed, with occasional on-site presence to support the team, suppliers, or cross-functional priorities. \nAdvanced Microsoft Excel skills; comfortable with data analysis and reporting. \nKey Competencies\nNatural leader who leads by example and builds trust with peers and direct reports alike. \nStrong sense of urgency with the ability to triage and prioritize in a fast-paced, multi-site environment. \nHighly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple files and priorities simultaneously. \nExcellent communicator - clear and effective with suppliers, team members, and cross-functional stakeholders. \nCollaborative problem-solver with a continuous improvement mindset. \nResourceful and results-driven, motivated by team success as much as individual contribution. \nStrategic mindset paired with strong operational execution. \n Success in This Role\nBuyers are more autonomous, aligned, and confident in day-to-day decisions. \nOperational escalations are resolved faster with better visibility and follow-through. \nPurchasing data, supplier performance, and KPI discipline improve across sites. \nProcesses are clearer, more consistent, and easier for the team to follow. \nWe thank all applicants for their interest; however, only those whose applications are considered will be contacted.\nThe use of the masculine gender has been adopted for ease of reading and is not intended to be discriminatory.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6059,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Supply Chain","Garden & Outdoor Living","Building Materials"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-20T20:56:32Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-21T04:39:49Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-21T14:30:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":44,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.804,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":15,"expected_fill_days":14,"reasons":["conf:4","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-05T05:54:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/techo-bloc-procurement-supervisor-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/techo-bloc-procurement-supervisor-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-05T14:41:27Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":19054,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-06T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4166},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4166"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftecho-bloc-procurement-supervisor-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ftecho-bloc-procurement-supervisor-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ftecho-bloc-procurement-supervisor-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/techo-bloc-procurement-supervisor-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftecho-bloc-procurement-supervisor-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":2954297}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"techo-bloc.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":2954297},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
