Cloud Kitchens Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Who we are 

CloudKitchens helps restaurateurs around the world succeed in online food delivery - our goal is to make food more affordable, higher quality and convenient for everyone. 

We take underutilized properties and transform them into smart kitchens so they can better serve restaurateurs, customers and the neighborhoods they're in. Every time we launch a new facility we create jobs in that neighborhood, and we're proud to provide a wide range of cuisines and options for healthy food at an affordable price.

We're changing the game for restaurateurs whether they're entrepreneurs opening their first restaurant all the way through to your favorite global quick-service restaurant chains. 

Why this role matters

Procurement is a critical lever in how we scale efficiently and operate at a high standard across hundreds of facilities. As a Procurement Manager, you will own vendor strategy, cost optimization, and contract governance across key categories including facilities, equipment, utilities, and services.

You will partner cross-functionally with Real Estate, Facilities, Operations, and Finance to drive disciplined spend, improve service levels, and unlock measurable savings at scale. This role is both strategic and hands-on, requiring strong negotiation skills, data-driven decision making, and the ability to build and manage vendor relationships across a national footprint.

Success in this role means delivering cost savings, increasing contract coverage, standardizing procurement processes, and ensuring our operators have the infrastructure and support they need to perform at their best.

What you'll do

• Lead and develop a high-performing team while building a best-in-class procurement engine that powers Cloud Kitchens' growth.
• Own supplier strategy end-to-end by identifying, onboarding, and scaling partners that meet our standards for technology, performance, cost, and quality.
• Continuously map the market to build a deep, resilient supplier portfolio that gives us speed, leverage, and flexibility.
• Design and execute disciplined RFQ processes, set clear vendor selection criteria, and negotiate best-in-class pricing and contract terms.
• Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Development, and Operations to support product development, site builds, and successful launches.
• Take ownership on the ground, leading procurement execution from early prototyping through full-scale ramp.
• Drive production readiness by managing schedules, capacity, and supply planning to meet demand with precision.
• Proactively identify and mitigate risks across launches, ensuring timelines, budgets, and quality standards are met.
• Maintain clear, consistent communication on progress, performance, and opportunities across stakeholders.
• Collaborate closely with international teams while supporting local execution, bringing a global mindset to a fast-scaling platform.

What we're looking for

• A self-starter with an ownership mindset, driven to learn fast, go deep, and become a true expert in procurement, construction, and supplier strategy.
• A builder who can own cost from concept to completion, coordinating estimates across design phases, procuring GCs, architects, and engineers, and managing contracts while maintaining tight control over project cash flow.
• A strong negotiator who leads sourcing efforts end-to-end, confidently navigating complex, high-stakes vendor, supplier, and contractor negotiations to consistently secure best-in-class terms.
• An operator who can orchestrate pricing, logistics, and sequencing of specialized kitchen construction materials across a national footprint with precision and speed.
• A cross-functional partner who works closely with KOB teams to procure and deliver kitchen equipment tailored to licensee needs, balancing customization with scalability.
• A cost leader who drives value engineering, challenges assumptions, and finds creative ways to reduce spend while improving quality and performance.
• A data-driven thinker who is comfortable working with large datasets, leveraging analytics and market insights to inform decisions and unlock efficiencies at scale.
