Vendor Manager

Own vendor sourcing execution for a defined product category—driving timely, cost-effective delivery aligned to supply chain strategies. Manage sourcing programs with clear vendor requirements, KPIs, and go-to-market calendar commitments. Collaborate with Product Development and Supply Planning, lead price negotiations per season placement, and plan vendor product development to ensure bulk manufacturability. Oversee pre-production (dupes to sales samples) and ensure vendor plants meet schedules, production processes, quality, and TOE commitments.
