About Allied Roofing Partners

Allied Roofing Partners (ARP) is a rapidly growing organization focused on partnering with leading roofing and exterior home improvement companies across the United States. ARP provides its partner companies with the resources, technology, operational support, and leadership needed to accelerate growth while maintaining the local strengths that made each business successful.

ARP currently supports six partner brands and continues to expand through strategic acquisitions. Across the organization, ARP manages approximately $40 million in annual material and supply purchases, including roofing, siding, windows, exterior building products, and other materials required to support projects across our growing portfolio of companies.

As ARP continues to grow, we are seeking a highly analytical and operationally focused Senior Manager, Strategic Procurement & Materials to provide centralized oversight of material purchasing, supplier performance, purchase-order accuracy, cost controls, credits, and material reconciliation across the organization.

About the Role

Reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer, this position will serve as a critical link between ARP's partner companies, Production teams, Finance, Accounting, and national and regional material suppliers.

This is not simply a purchasing or sourcing position. The successful candidate will be responsible for understanding what materials should be ordered based on active production schedules, verifying what was purchased, identifying what was actually delivered, analyzing discrepancies, tracking credits, and ensuring material costs are accurately aligned with individual projects and company financial reporting.

The position will work across multiple brands, locations, suppliers, systems, and projects. As ARP acquires additional companies, this individual will also help integrate new locations and suppliers into ARP's procurement and material-management processes.

We are looking for someone who is highly data-driven, detail-oriented, assertive, curious, and willing to dig into discrepancies rather than simply process transactions. This individual must be able to think outside the box, identify opportunities others may miss, and use data to drive better purchasing and operational decisions.

Key Responsibilities

Procurement & Material Oversight

• Provide centralized oversight of approximately $40 million in annual material and supply purchases across ARP's portfolio of companies.
• Review Production calendars and upcoming project schedules to understand material requirements across multiple brands and locations.
• Review and spot-check purchase orders for accuracy, appropriate quantities, pricing, specifications, and alignment with individual projects.
• Compare purchase orders against supplier invoices, delivery documentation, and actual materials received.
• Identify discrepancies involving quantities, pricing, products, colors, specifications, freight, returns, or other charges.
• Investigate issues such as incorrect shingle colors, siding colors, window specifications, quantities, or other materials being ordered or delivered incorrectly.
• Ensure material purchases are properly assigned and allocated to the correct project, branch, location, and ARP company.
• Material & Project Reconciliation

• Analyze material usage against project scope, including roofing square footage/squares, siding, windows, and other exterior building materials.
• Compare estimated/projected material requirements against materials ordered, delivered, returned, and ultimately charged to each project.
• Identify unusual material usage, over-ordering, duplicate orders, shortages, waste, and other discrepancies.
• Verify that material quantities and costs are properly associated with active projects.
• Develop reporting and controls that provide leadership with visibility into material costs across projects, branches, brands, and suppliers.
• Partner with Production and Operations teams to understand the root causes of material discrepancies and develop corrective processes.

Supplier Management & Cost Savings

• Develop and maintain strong working relationships with major national and regional building-material suppliers, including ABC Supply, SRS Distribution, Lowe's, and other roofing and exterior building-material suppliers.
• Review supplier pricing, purchasing patterns, delivery performance, service levels, rebates, discounts, and credits.
• Identify opportunities to leverage ARP's purchasing volume and scale to reduce material costs and improve supplier terms.
• Analyze pricing differences across brands, branches, regions, and suppliers to identify potential cost-saving opportunities.
• Challenge incorrect pricing, charges, fees, shortages, and other discrepancies directly with suppliers.
• Work with suppliers to resolve recurring operational, delivery, pricing, and billing issues.
• Maintain an assertive but professional approach to supplier negotiations and accountability.
• Identify opportunities to consolidate purchasing or improve supplier relationships as ARP continues to grow.

Credits, Returns & Financial Reconciliation

• Establish and maintain processes for tracking supplier credits, returns, rebates, pricing adjustments, and other amounts owed back to ARP companies.
• Verify that requested credits are actually received and properly reflected in company records.
• Identify outstanding or aging credits and work directly with suppliers and internal teams to resolve them.
• Maintain reporting that provides leadership visibility into outstanding credits and financial discrepancies.
• Partner closely with Finance and Accounting during month-end close to reconcile material purchases, invoices, credits, returns, and project-level material costs.
• Research and resolve discrepancies that could impact job costing, project profitability, or financial reporting.
• Help ensure ARP receives every credit, rebate, pricing adjustment, or refund to which the organization is entitled.

Data Analytics & Reporting

• Analyze large volumes of purchasing, project, production, supplier, and financial data to identify trends, discrepancies, and opportunities.
• Develop dashboards, reports, and KPIs around material spend, pricing, credits, discrepancies, supplier performance, material usage, and cost savings.
• Identify unusual purchasing patterns, cost variances, or outliers that require additional investigation.
• Compare purchasing and material performance across ARP brands and locations.
• Translate complex data into clear, actionable recommendations for the COO and other executive leaders.
• Measure, track, and document cost savings and procurement improvements across the organization.
• Develop scalable reporting processes as ARP adds additional companies, locations, suppliers, and purchasing volume.

Systems & Process Improvement

• Work extensively within CRM, project management, purchasing, accounting, and other operational systems.
• Partner with Operations, Finance, Accounting, Production, and IT to improve the flow and accuracy of procurement and material data.
• Help standardize purchasing and material-management processes across ARP companies while recognizing appropriate differences between brands and markets.
• Develop standardized procedures for purchase orders, deliveries, returns, credits, reconciliation, and supplier issue resolution.
• Identify opportunities to automate manual processes, eliminate inefficiencies, and improve data accuracy.
• Help integrate newly acquired companies into ARP's procurement, supplier, reporting, and material-management processes.
• Continuously evaluate existing processes and recommend improvements that increase efficiency, accountability, and profitability.

Qualifications

• Must have a minimum of 5+ years of directly relevant experience in procurement, strategic sourcing, material management, purchasing, supply chain, construction operations, or a closely related field to be considered for this position.
• Must have experience managing or providing oversight of significant material spend across multiple locations, divisions, brands, or business units.
• Experience working directly with national and regional building-material suppliers is strongly preferred.
• Roofing, exterior home improvement, construction, building materials, distribution, or skilled-trades experience is highly desirable.
• Strong understanding of construction material requirements, including square footage, roofing squares, material quantities, specifications, and project-level material needs.
• Experience reviewing and reconciling purchase orders, supplier invoices, deliveries, returns, credits, rebates, and project costs.
• Experience supporting or participating in month-end close, financial reconciliation, and job-costing processes.
• Strong CRM and project-management software experience.
• Advanced Excel and data-analysis skills with the ability to analyze large volumes of purchasing, supplier, project, and financial data.
• Experience developing and tracking KPIs, dashboards, supplier performance metrics, cost savings, and procurement reporting.
• Demonstrated ability to identify cost-saving opportunities, purchasing discrepancies, pricing errors, material waste, and outstanding supplier credits.
• Strong supplier negotiation and relationship-management skills.
• Must be comfortable being professionally assertive with suppliers and challenging pricing, invoices, deliveries, credits, or other discrepancies when the data does not align.
• Exceptional attention to detail, organization, follow-through, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to manage multiple brands, suppliers, locations, projects, and priorities simultaneously.
• Ability to work independently and think outside the box when identifying operational improvements and cost-saving opportunities.
• Comfortable working directly with the COO, C-suite executives, operational leaders, Production teams, Finance, Accounting, and newly acquired companies.
• Ability and willingness to travel as needed.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is someone who can look at a Production calendar containing hundreds of active projects and understand how those projects translate into material requirements, purchase orders, deliveries, invoices, credits, job costs, and ultimately project profitability.

This person will not simply accept that an invoice, purchase order, or supplier statement is correct because it exists. They will dig into the data, ask questions, identify inconsistencies, and follow discrepancies through resolution.

For example, this individual should be able to determine that a roofing project required a specific number of squares, compare that requirement against what was ordered and delivered, identify an unusual variance, determine why it occurred, and ensure ARP receives any credit it is owed.

The successful candidate will understand the value of ARP's collective purchasing power and continually look for opportunities to reduce costs, improve supplier performance, recover credits, eliminate waste, improve data accuracy, and create scalable procurement processes as the organization grows.

They should be comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment where not every answer is immediately available and have the ability to think creatively, investigate issues, challenge assumptions, and find solutions.

Why Join Allied Roofing Partners?

This is an opportunity to build and influence the procurement and material-management strategy of a rapidly growing organization with approximately $40 million in annual material and supply spend.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys data, procurement, construction operations, supplier negotiations, process improvement, problem-solving, and identifying measurable cost savings to make a direct impact across an entire organization.

If you're an experienced procurement and materials professional who enjoys digging into the details, identifying opportunities, holding suppliers accountable, and using data to improve business performance, we'd love to hear from you.
