About the role
We're looking for a Strategic Procurement Leader who knows how to negotiate great deals, build strong supplier partnerships, and develop purchasing strategies that keep production moving.
At Southland Trailers, we're not looking for someone who simply manages purchase orders. We want a forward-thinking leader who challenges the status quo, takes ownership, and finds better ways to get things done.
What You'll Be Doing
Strategic Sourcing: Develop purchasing strategies that ensure competitive pricing, reliable supply, and long-term value.
Supplier Relationships: Build strong partnerships, negotiate agreements, and identify new sourcing opportunities.
Inventory Optimization: Balance inventory levels with material availability to support uninterrupted production.
Cost Management: Identify savings opportunities, negotiate favourable terms, and improve total landed costs.
Process Improvement: Streamline purchasing processes, improve ERP accuracy, and build systems that support growth.
Team Leadership: Coach and develop a high-performing purchasing team that takes ownership and delivers results.
What Makes You a Great Fit
You've demonstrated success in procurement, purchasing, or supply chain management, ideally within manufacturing.
You're a strong negotiator with a track record of building supplier relationships and delivering measurable results.
You understand inventory management, strategic sourcing, and ERP systems.
You're proactive, analytical, and comfortable making decisions in a fast-paced environment.
You know how to lead people, hold them accountable, and bring out their best.
You're always looking for ways to improve how things are done.
Why Southland?
We're a growing, family-owned Canadian manufacturer with ambitious goals and a commitment to our people. We offer competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, RRSP matching, professional development, in house cafeterias, and a workplace where your contributions make a difference.
Think you've got what it takes?
We care about what you've accomplished, not just the titles you've held. If you're someone who takes ownership, builds strong relationships, and consistently delivers results, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply today and help us empower people to do it better!
