Procurement Specialist

Are you ready to embark on a journey into the thriving world of e-commerce logistics, purchasing, and fulfillment? We are hiring a select group of motivated individuals to run their own business within our company - operating out of their own garage - to ensure same-day to 2-day delivery to customers in their territory.

As a Procurement Specialist, you will manage the purchasing, fulfillment, and shipping of products directly from your home. You’ll be responsible for buying assigned products by driving to stores and/or purchasing them online, storing them, and shipping them to customers - all while upholding the highest standards of integrity and professionalism. This role is not a typical ‘M-F, 9-5 job’ and requires work during all major holiday sales periods (ex. Black Friday, Boxing Day, Labor Day, etc.) and on Saturdays.

Key Responsibilities (include but not limited to):

1. Product Purchasing - visit local stores daily, in-person and online, to purchase a list of products assigned to you by your manager or via our app;
2. Inventory Storage - store purchased products in your garage ensuring they are safely secured, well-organized, and easily accessible;
3. Inventory Management - accurately track products purchased and orders fulfilled to ensure no discrepancies between the inventory system and your stock counts;
4. Order Fulfillment - pack and ship customer orders accurately and within the same day orders are received, ensuring timely delivery;
5. Reconciliation and Refund Recovery - contact retailers to receive refunds for products not delivered in full or to spec;
6. Daily Reporting - communicate with your manager and use the app and other resources to track inventory, update purchasing statuses, and report order fulfillment progress.

Key Traits of Successful Procurement Specialists:

1. Integrity and Honesty - strong track record of ‘doing the right thing’ for both people and businesses. Integrity is the #1 trait that we hire for and it’s a cornerstone of how we operate.
2. Entrepreneurial Spirit - intrinsic drive to run a profitable business within GiftCash with a strong desire to scale a business to increase your own earning potential.
3. Self-Motivation - ability to stay focused and inspired from within, ensuring the best possible results even without constant oversight.
4. Strong Organizational Skills - ability to efficiently manage your day, prioritize tasks, and resolve issues to ensure all responsibilities are met.
5. Creative Problem-Solving - skilled at resolving issues and keeping things running smoothly without cutting corners or sacrificing integrity.
6. Love for Shopping - a passion for finding great deals and sourcing products, ensuring the best value for the business.
7. Relationship Management - proven ability to build and maintain strong, positive relationships with retail management and staff (Sales experience preferred).
8. Inventory Management Experience - familiarity with tracking and maintaining inventory records to ensure accuracy and accountability.

Procurement Specialists must meet the following minimum requirements:

1. Ownership of a 2 car garage where products can be stored and shipped;
2. Ability to clear out 100% of the garage for GiftCash operations and work in the garage each day;
3. Willing to allow racking to be installed in the garage to hold products;
4. Willing to have a shed in the front of the home for package pickups and deliveries to the garage;
5. Able to complete 1-2 weeks of training at your garage location, which may require staff to enter your home and use your home WiFi;
6. Able to complete 1 week of training at another location (travel, accommodation, and training compensation provided by the company);
7. Reliable truck or SUV for daily store visits (truck or SUV required);
8. Basic organizational skills to manage inventory;
9. Strong attention to detail for order fulfillment;
10. Ability to work independently and manage time efficiently;
