Proven success in
negotiating contracts
and managing vendor relationships.
Experience building or improving
inventory management systems .
Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across multiple teams.
Strong analytical skills with a proactive, problem-solving mindset.
High adaptability — someone who can “roll with the punches” and thrive in a
fast-moving, ever-changing environment .
The Ideal Fit You’re not just organized — you’re innovative. You see opportunities to improve systems, not just maintain them. You’re energized by variety, collaboration, and a team that’s as passionate about their work as they are about the culture they create together.
If you’re looking for a role that combines procurement strategy, inventory optimization, and meaningful collaboration — all within the excitement of the sports and entertainment world — this could be your next big play.
