Senior Manager - Procurement

Power the Productions and Operations Behind the World's Most-Watched Brand

Beast Industries is scaling at a pace few companies ever experience, and behind every record-breaking production and every new business line is a procurement engine that has to move just as fast. As Manager of Procurement, you'll build that engine from the ground up.

This is a rare opportunity to shape an end-to-end procurement function at one of the most dynamic media companies in the world. You'll be the connective tissue between high-volume production teams who demand speed and creative problem-solving, and corporate leaders who require disciplined sourcing, vendor management, and cost controls. One day you might be negotiating a last-minute equipment deal on set; the next, you're building a multi-year supplier strategy.

If you thrive in ambiguity, have a bias for action, and know how to build systems that enable scale without slowing people down, we want to hear from you.

The Role

Reporting into Finance, you'll lead procurement across both production and corporate spend partnering closely with Studio, Production, Tech, Legal, and executive leadership to deliver a function that is fast, scalable, and best-in-class.

What You'll Do

• Lead procurement for video and content production, including equipment, props, set materials, talent logistics, specialty items, and on-location services
• Partner closely with Production and Studio teams to anticipate needs and execute under tight timelines
• Build and manage a vetted vendor network capable of sourcing unique, high-value, and large-scale items on short notice
• Own corporate sourcing across categories including technology, facilities, professional services, and SaaS
• Design and implement a unified procurement function that serves both production and corporate needs
• Develop scalable processes for recurring needs while maintaining flexibility for one-of-a-kind productions
• Optimize procurement tools and P2P platforms to improve visibility and efficiency
• Establish supplier performance metrics and lead regular business reviews with strategic vendors
• Identify cost-saving opportunities without compromising production quality or timelines
• Provide executive-level reporting on procurement performance, savings, and risk

What You'll Bring

• 7–12+ years of procurement experience, with meaningful exposure to both production/operations environments and corporate procurement
• Background in media, entertainment, consumer products, or high-growth startups strongly preferred
• Demonstrated ability to source and procure in fast-paced, high-volume environments where speed and resourcefulness are essential
• Deep experience in strategic sourcing, contract negotiation, and vendor management across diverse categories
• Strong understanding of procurement best practices, cost modeling, and total cost of ownership analysis
• Proven track record of building procurement infrastructure — policies, processes, tools — in a scaling organization
• Exceptional negotiation skills across both tactical spot buys and long-term strategic agreements
• Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills with creative, production, finance, legal, and executive stakeholders
• Comfort with ambiguity and sound judgment under pressure with incomplete information
• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Business, Finance, or a related field; advanced degree or procurement certifications (CPSM, CSCP, CPP) a plus

The target total compensation ranges from $138,000 – $184,000, including a fixed annual salary of $120,000 - 160,000, annual bonus, plus an employee equity plan grant and comprehensive benefits.
