Help Build the Vendor Network That Powers Project Delivery
At Sparkfund, we're transforming how energy infrastructure projects are delivered. As we continue to grow, we're looking for a Senior Manager of Vendor Management to lead the relationships, processes, and strategy that ensure our vendor ecosystem can scale alongside the business.
This is more than a procurement role. You'll oversee a portfolio of vendor relationships that directly support project execution across the country, helping Sparkfund deliver high-quality outcomes while balancing performance, cost, and risk. You'll lead a team, influence cross-functional decision-making, and play a key role in building the systems and partnerships that enable long-term growth.
If you enjoy developing teams, solving operational challenges, negotiating strategic partnerships, and creating scalable processes, we'd love to meet you.
What You'll Do
Lead Vendor Strategy & Performance
  • Manage a portfolio of vendor relationships supporting Sparkfund's project delivery operations.
  • Execute vendor selection, qualification, and performance management processes.
  • Lead vendor scorecards, business reviews, and performance improvement initiatives.
  • Support commercial negotiations and vendor relationship management activities.
  • Maintain and optimize Sparkfund's approved vendor network.
Drive Supply Chain Reliability
  • Monitor vendor performance, capacity, geographic coverage, and operational readiness.
  • Identify and mitigate supply chain risks that could impact project delivery.
  • Develop contingency plans for critical vendor dependencies.
  • Partner with internal stakeholders to ensure vendor capabilities align with project needs.
Lead and Develop a Team
  • Manage and coach a team of Vendor Management professionals.
  • Establish priorities, performance expectations, and development plans.
  • Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
  • Support workforce planning and team capability development as the function grows.
Partner Across the Business
  • Collaborate with Engineering, Delivery, Contract Management, and Finance teams.
  • Align vendor activities with project and program objectives.
  • Support operational planning and execution through effective vendor engagement.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor on vendor performance, risk, and commercial considerations.
What We're Looking For
Required Qualifications
  • 8+ years of experience in vendor management, procurement, supply chain, or related functions.
  • Experience managing vendor portfolios in project-based, construction, infrastructure, or operational environments.
  • Strong negotiation, commercial, and relationship management skills.
  • Experience leading vendor performance programs and governance processes.
  • Demonstrated people leadership experience, including coaching and team development.
  • Ability to analyze data, identify trends, and make informed business decisions.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in energy, utilities, infrastructure, distributed energy resources (DER), or related industries.
  • Experience managing EPC firms, subcontractors, or field service vendors.
  • Familiarity with vendor management platforms, procurement systems, and performance tracking tools.
  • Experience scaling vendor operations within a growing organization.
What Makes Someone Successful in This Role
  • Thinks strategically about vendor relationships, not just individual transactions.
  • Balances cost, performance, quality, and risk when making decisions.
  • Builds strong partnerships across teams and with external stakeholders.
  • Creates structure and process while remaining adaptable in a growing environment.
  • Develops people and builds high-performing teams.
  • Takes ownership and drives results.
Why Sparkfund?
At Sparkfund, you'll join a mission-driven organization helping customers deploy and manage critical energy infrastructure solutions. We're a remote-first company that values flexibility, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
Benefits & Perks
  • Competitive compensation of $170,000 - $203,000 base salary. Final compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, location, and market considerations.
  • Employer-subsidized medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Flexible vacation policy
  • 12 weeks of paid parental leave
  • Monthly phone and internet stipend
  • Opportunities for professional growth and leadership development
