Preferred

- Direct experience with OSP (outside plant) materials and fiber network construction supply chains

- People management or formal mentorship experience

- Experience evaluating, implementing, or optimizing ERP or procurement management platforms (e.g., NetSuite, Coupa, or similar)

- Professional certification: CPSM, CPIM, or equivalent

- Experience in a high-growth startup or early-stage company environment where processes were built, not inherited

**What Success Looks Like **

You will be considered highly effective in this role when you:

- Own procurement outcomes - not just activities. Cost targets are met, supply continuity is maintained, and supplier performance is measurably improving quarter over quarter

- Serve as a trusted advisor to executive leadership, bringing forward procurement intelligence, risk assessments, and strategic recommendations that shape business decisions

- Lead a procurement function with defined processes, documented playbooks, clear KPIs, and reporting that gives leadership full visibility into supply health at all times

- Negotiate and manage a portfolio of high-value supplier contracts that deliver competitive pricing, strong terms, and long-term reliability, protecting IQ Fiber's ability to build at scale

- Proactively identify supply chain risks, including supplier concentration, lead time volatility, and market price shifts; have mitigation plans in place before problems arise

- Mentor and develop junior procurement staff, raising the capability of the team around you

Within your first 90 days, you will have conducted a full audit of the existing supplier portfolio, identified the top cost and risk exposure areas, and presented a 12-month procurement strategy roadmap to the Director.
