Role Overview We're looking for a proactive, detail-oriented Vendor Specialist to join our team and help lead our Vendor Management team across a wide range of projects in a fun, fast-paced environment. This is a rare opportunity to join a start-up with a mission that uplifts!
You’ll drive initiatives, set priorities, and build systems that help Villa scale. You’ll also roll up your sleeves, jumping into bid coordination, case management, and vendor communications when the team needs support.
This is a full-time remote role that reports to the Head of Vendor Management and requires travel up to 20% to vendor locations and project sites.
What You’ll Do
Bid coordination: pull together scope docs, gather vendor quotes, compile bid packages
Vendor communications: pricing requests, scope clarifications, schedule confirmations, follow-ups
Case queue work: pick up cases, respond to requests, chase down stalled items
Compliance admin: pull insurance certificates, verify licenses, update tracking sheets, send renewal reminders
Vendor onboarding execution: send contracts, enroll in wrap insurance, set up portal access, train vendors
Own the vendor lifecycle strategy: onboarding, compliance, performance management, and network expansion
Lead vendor compliance programs: license verification, insurance tracking, and safety documentation
Drive vendor performance management: define KPIs, build scorecards, and lead conversations with underperforming vendors. Lead annual pricing coordination: manage updates across the vendor network, analyze competitiveness, and recommend changes
Be the go-to expert on vendor operations, sought out by PMs, Supers, and leadership for advice on vendor issues
You’ll Thrive Here If You
Can zoom out to strategy and zoom in to execution, sometimes in the same minute
See problems before they become urgent and take initiative to solve them
Aren energized by ambiguity and can bring structure to undefined situations
Care deeply about making the people around you more effective
Will process a change on Tuesday and present to leadership on Wednesday
Want ownership and accountability, not just a title
Believe no task is beneath you if it helps the team win
What We Look For
5+ years in construction operations or vendor management
Proven track record leading cross-functional initiatives
Strong project management and communication skills
Experience building processes that scale
Experience in residential construction, modular/factory-built housing, or ADU development
Background in vendor management, procurement, or supply chain
Familiarity with compliance requirements in construction (licensing, insurance, safety)
Able to work in the US without sponsorship
Compensation $103,700 - $122,000 a year

Final compensation is determined by several factors, including the candidate's primary work location, specialized experience, and internal parity.
