Procurement Manager

Sentinel Blue is looking for a highly organized, detail-oriented Procurement Manager to support and coordinate our procurement, licensing, and vendor management operations. This individual plays a key role in ensuring that hardware, software, and services are ordered accurately, delivered on time, and properly tracked across the organization, including coordinating logistics and fulfillment. This role is primarily focused on day-to-day procurement coordination while also supporting oversight and alignment of related activities across the team. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, demonstrates strong follow-through, and keeps processes organized and running smoothly while supporting internal teams and client needs.

This is a full-time position that is fully remote. 

This position may require access to technology, technical data, or information that is subject to U.S. export control laws and regulations. Employment in this position is contingent upon either verification of U.S. person status as defined under applicable export control regulations (which includes U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and certain protected individuals such as refugees and asylees) or the ability to obtain any required export authorization. The company reserves the right not to apply for an export license and to decline to proceed with any applicant on that basis. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to citizenship status, national origin, or immigration status.

A day in the Procurement Manager role:

The Procurement Manager starts their day by reviewing active orders, licensing requests, and vendor communications, ensuring all procurement activities are progressing accurately and on schedule. They quickly identify any blockers—such as vendor delays, order discrepancies, or licensing questions—and work to resolve them while keeping internal teams informed. Throughout the day, they act as a central point of coordination for procurement operations, working closely with internal teams to fulfill requests, confirm requirements, and ensure accuracy across all orders and renewals. They engage with vendors to obtain quotes, track orders, and support ongoing relationships, ensuring products and services are delivered as expected. They also support the oversight of a small team, helping coordinate device deployment and related activities to ensure alignment with procurement efforts. As priorities shift, they adapt quickly—balancing multiple requests, maintaining organized records, and ensuring operations continue to run smoothly. By the end of the day, the Procurement Manager has helped ensure procurement and licensing activities are organized, accurate, and moving forward efficiently, supporting both internal operations and client needs.
