Location: Remote, with a slight preference for candidates in the US
Job Type: Full-Time
Compensation: TBD
We're looking for an exceptional Vendor Manager to help Raicom make smarter decisions about the vendors, partners, software, services, and contracts that power our business.
Raicom is a high-growth direct-to-consumer ecommerce company behind a portfolio of consumer brands across jewelry, clothing, and health. Behind those brands is a serious operating machine - from marketing and technology to customer service, fulfillment, and logistics.
And all of those teams rely on outside partners.
That's where you come in.
This is a unique role that sits somewhere between procurement, finance, operations, and commercial strategy. You'll work across departments to understand what they need, find the right vendors to deliver it, negotiate strong commercial terms, and continuously make sure we're getting the best value for what we spend.
If you're the kind of person who loves negotiating, finding a better deal, asking smart questions, and refusing to accept "that's just what it costs" as an answer - keep reading.
What's in it for you…
You'll be joining a high-performing, entrepreneurial company where ownership is encouraged and good ideas don't need to travel through ten layers of approval before something happens.
Raicom operates at significant scale, which means the decisions you make in this role can have a very real impact on the business.
You'll have the opportunity to work across different departments, understand how the company operates from the inside, and directly influence how millions of dollars in company spend are deployed.
Here's what you can expect:
A high-impact role with visibility across the business
Direct interaction with department leaders and decision-makers
Real ownership over sourcing, vendor negotiations, and commercial relationships
The opportunity to negotiate across a huge variety of categories
A company that values curiosity, candor, reliability, and continuous growth
Plenty of room to challenge existing processes and find better solutions
Long-term opportunities to grow as Raicom continues to scale
If you want a role where your ability to negotiate and think commercially can directly impact the bottom line, this is it.
What a career here looks like…
At Raicom, we care about results - not just activity.
We want someone who can look at a department's needs, understand the business problem behind the request, research the market, find the right potential partners, and negotiate a deal that makes sense both financially and operationally.
One day, you might be comparing software providers.
Another, you could be negotiating with a shipping carrier, reviewing a marketing agency agreement, sourcing a new service provider, or sitting in on a sales call to make sure we're getting the right terms.
You'll become the person we turn to before we make an important vendor decision.
What's needed from you…
We're looking for someone who is commercially sharp, highly resourceful, and an exceptional negotiator.
You need to be comfortable talking to vendors, asking difficult questions, comparing proposals, understanding contracts and pricing structures, and pushing for better terms without damaging the relationship.
What you'll be in charge of…
Strategic Sourcing & Vendor Selection
Negotiations & Contracts
Spend Optimization
Vendor Management & Performance
