Sr. Manager, Global Procurement

Manager, Global Procurement (Hard Home) United States, Remote Our mission is simple: make really high quality essentials for really low prices, fairly and sustainably. From there, our teams design smart, efficient operational processes and build and deploy proprietary technology, AI, and analytics to help us scale fast. What began with a small assortment of elevated basics has quickly grown into a cross-category brand spanning apparel, accessories, home goods, and more. We question conventional thinking, use technology and data to uncover new opportunities, and move quickly to turn ideas into reality. We’re building a better way – at a speed and scale unlike anything that’s been done before. Where conventional wisdom says you have to choose – soft or durable, speed or rigor, quality or price – we ask why that trade-off has to exist in the first place. Our pace is fast and the bar is high because our customers expect a lot from us and we refuse to let them down. We believe the best results come from challenging ourselves, learning from one another, and building on each other's strengths.
