Vendor Manager

Location : Remote, with a slight preference for candidates in the US

Job Type: Full-Time

Compensation : TBD

We're looking for an exceptional Vendor Manager to help Raicom make smarter decisions about the vendors, partners, software, services, and contracts that power our business.

Raicom is a high-growth direct-to-consumer ecommerce company behind a portfolio of consumer brands across jewelry, clothing, and health. Behind those brands is a serious operating machine - from marketing and technology to customer service, fulfillment, and logistics.

And all of those teams rely on outside partners.

That's where you come in.

This is a unique role that sits somewhere between procurement, finance, operations, and commercial strategy. You'll work across departments to understand what they need, find the right vendors to deliver it, negotiate strong commercial terms, and continuously make sure we're getting the best value for what we spend.

If you're the kind of person who loves negotiating, finding a better deal, asking smart questions, and refusing to accept "that's just what it costs" as an answer - keep reading.

What's in it for you…

You'll be joining a high-performing, entrepreneurial company where ownership is encouraged and good ideas don't need to travel through ten layers of approval before something happens.

Raicom operates at significant scale, which means the decisions you make in this role can have a very real impact on the business.

You'll have the opportunity to work across different departments, understand how the company operates from the inside, and directly influence how millions of dollars in company spend are deployed.

Here's what you can expect:

• A high-impact role with visibility across the business
• Direct interaction with department leaders and decision-makers
• Real ownership over sourcing, vendor negotiations, and commercial relationships
• The opportunity to negotiate across a huge variety of categories
• A company that values curiosity, candor, reliability, and continuous growth
• Plenty of room to challenge existing processes and find better solutions
• Long-term opportunities to grow as Raicom continues to scale

If you want a role where your ability to negotiate and think commercially can directly impact the bottom line, this is it.

What a career here looks like…

At Raicom, we care about results - not just activity.

We want someone who can look at a department's needs, understand the business problem behind the request, research the market, find the right potential partners, and negotiate a deal that makes sense both financially and operationally.

One day, you might be comparing software providers.

Another, you could be negotiating with a shipping carrier, reviewing a marketing agency agreement, sourcing a new service provider, or sitting in on a sales call to make sure we're getting the right terms.

You'll become the person we turn to before we make an important vendor decision.

What's needed from you…

We're looking for someone who is commercially sharp, highly resourceful, and an exceptional negotiator.

You need to be comfortable talking to vendors, asking difficult questions, comparing proposals, understanding contracts and pricing structures, and pushing for better terms without damaging the relationship.

What you'll be in charge of…

• Strategic Sourcing & Vendor Selection
• Negotiations & Contracts
• Spend Optimization
• Vendor Management & Performance

About you…

You:

• Have strong experience in strategic sourcing, procurement, vendor management, commercial negotiations, or a similar role
• Are an excellent negotiator and genuinely enjoy getting to the best possible deal
• Can quickly understand the needs of different departments and industries
• Are comfortable joining sales calls and confidently negotiating with experienced salespeople
• Have strong commercial instincts and understand that the cheapest option isn't always the best option
• Can analyze pricing, proposals, contracts, and vendor performance
• Are naturally curious and research extensively before making recommendations
• Communicate exceptionally well in English, both verbally and in writing
• Are confident, professional, and comfortable working with senior stakeholders
• Think several steps ahead rather than simply completing the task in front of you
• Take ownership and follow through without needing constant supervision
• Are comfortable being measured by the value and savings you create

Bonus points if you…

• Have experience sourcing across multiple categories rather than just one industry
• Have negotiated software/SaaS contracts
• Have worked with shipping carriers or logistics providers
• Have negotiated with marketing agencies or other professional service providers
• Understand procurement analytics and spend management
• Have experience working within ecommerce or another fast-growing business

Pay and benefits…

• Starting at 10–15 USD/hour, depending on experience and proven ability
• If you know you bring extraordinary value, tell us why you're worth more - we love confident thinkers
• Long-term opportunity with a rapidly growing international company
• High visibility and exposure across Finance, Operations, Marketing, Logistics, Technology, and other areas of the business
• Significant opportunity to grow the role as Raicom continues to scale

If you're the person who always wonders whether there's a better vendor, a smarter contract, or another 15% hiding somewhere in the deal - we want to talk to you!
