Reporting directly to the Head of Procurement and New Vertical Strategy, you'll own the full luxury goods purchasing motion from allocating weekly spend against inventory pressure to selecting which references we stock, negotiating pricing, and building net-new vendor networks as we expand the category.\nThis is an execution-driven role with real capital consequence. You'll be accountable for the growth and health of the luxury book, and your decisions on what we buy and at what cost flow directly into product margin. This role is based in our Mountain View office, with regular travel to our San Francisco office alongside the team.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn the luxury book, growing it in line with direction from the Head of Procurement and maintaining its health across composition, cost basis, and vendor mix.\n\nExecute weekly vendor allocations against current inventory pressure, directing spend toward the categories and price points where inventory is thinnest.\n\nSelect SKUs across categories, deciding which brands, references, and price tiers we carry based on sell-through, margin, and market demand.\n\nNegotiate pricing and terms with wholesale partners, and hold the line on cost basis as volume scales.\n\nManage the suite of vendor relationships across Triumph's luxury network, handling day-to-day communication, negotiation, and issue resolution with professionalism and care.\n\nExecute on network creation for new initiatives, identifying, vetting, and onboarding vendors in subcategories where Triumph has no established pipeline.\n\nManage authentication partners and the controls around them, including oversight where a counterparty serves as both vendor and authenticator on the same inventory.\n\nTrack and report on allocation fill rate, book growth, vendor coverage, and cost basis relative to market.\n\nQualifications\n5+ years in procurement, category management, buying, strategic sourcing, or a related purchasing function, with direct ownership of vendor relationships and negotiation outcomes.\n\nDemonstrated experience negotiating pricing and terms with wholesale suppliers, and a record of improving cost basis over time.\n\nStrong analytical skills. You build and maintain your own models and make purchasing decisions from data, not instinct alone.\n\nKnowledge of vendor management and inventory management systems.\n\nExcellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the judgment to represent Triumph credibly to vendors and partners.\n\nDomain knowledge in luxury goods.\n\nExperience in resale, wholesale, or secondary market environments where authentication and provenance matter.\n\nBachelor's or Master's degree in supply chain management, business administration, or a related field.\n\nProficiency with procurement software and data analysis tools.\n\nWhy Triumph?\nHigh ownership. You own the luxury book outright.\n\nDirect access. You report to the decision maker with few layers between your recommendation and a real commitment of capital.\n\nCompetitive pay. $150,000 to $180,000 base plus equity.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3233,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Luxury Retail","Luxury Goods & Designer Brands","Commerce"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-29T01:35:43Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-26T10:16:15Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 3","filings_12m":3,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":212500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":35,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.644,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":36,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-04T06:34:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":180000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/triumph-category-manager-luxury-goods","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/triumph-category-manager-luxury-goods.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T23:13:58Z","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":103,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"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":3823995},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3823995"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftriumph-category-manager-luxury-goods"},{"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%2Ftriumph-category-manager-luxury-goods"},{"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%2Ftriumph-category-manager-luxury-goods"},{"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/triumph-category-manager-luxury-goods\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftriumph-category-manager-luxury-goods"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":1431518}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"triumphlabs.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":1431518},"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); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
