🎯 Requirements

• 6+ years of progressive experience in procurement, sourcing, or vendor management, with meaningful time in live events, sports, entertainment production, or large-scale experiential • Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Supply Chain, or a related field (or equivalent experience) • Strong negotiation track record with six- and seven-figure vendor agreements • Fluency in live event production categories: staging, broadcast infrastructure, venue services, temporary staffing, hospitality • Experience with modern spend-management tools (Ramp, Coupa, or similar) and ERP environments • Comfort operating in a fast-moving, lean environment — hands-on, not just strategic • Bonus: international procurement experience, multi-event or touring production background, sports league or federation experience.
