Skills
Must have
- • 3+ years of experience in procurement, strategic sourcing, supply chain finance, or a closely related role within CPG, sports nutrition, or a high-velocity consumer products environment.
- • Advanced Excel proficiency; proven ability to build and maintain cost tracking workbooks, supplier spend models, and contract management tools from scratch.
- • Demonstrated experience managing supplier contracts, including pricing tiers, volume thresholds, rebate structures, and renewal cycles.
- • Strong financial acumen with the ability to connect procurement decisions to COGS, gross margin, and CM1 outcomes — and communicate that connection clearly to commercial and operational stakeholders
- • Analytical thinker who can move between granular ingredient-level cost data and high-level portfolio margin trends, with the ability to communicate findings clearly to non-analytical stakeholders.
- • Comfortable operating with incomplete information and adapting quickly when supplier pricing or market conditions shift; this role requires sound judgment and the ability to make defensible sourcing
- • ERP experience preferred, with familiarity in NetSuite, SAP, or similar platforms for purchase order management, inventory valuation, and cost reporting.
- • Required: Experience in sports nutrition, supplements, functional food & beverage, or a comparably high-SKU, multi-channel CPG category with ingredient-level cost complexity.
Full description
Role Overview
The Procurement Analyst is a commercially grounded, analytically driven role at the core of RAW Nutrition’s cost management and supply operations. This position owns raw ingredient sourcing and contract management, tracks COGS performance against budgeted targets to ensure Contribution Margin 1 (CM1) goals are met, and maintains rigorous visibility into supplier spend relative to contracted thresholds, rebate structures, and pricing commitments.
You will work at the intersection of finance, supply chain, and operations — translating ingredient cost data, supplier contracts, and purchase activity into clear insights that protect margin and drive smarter procurement decisions across a complex, high-velocity SKU catalog.
This is not a passive reporting role. We are looking for someone who holds suppliers accountable to contracted terms, challenges cost variances before they erode margin, and continuously improves the procurement processes and financial visibility the business depends on.
Key Responsibilities
COGS Tracking & CM1 Performance
- Own the tracking of actual COGS versus budgeted targets at the SKU and category level, maintaining a live view of where margin performance is on track versus at risk.
- Partner with the finance and operations teams to reconcile ingredient costs against standard costs in the bill of materials, flagging variances that threaten CM1 targets before they flow through to the P&L.
- Build and maintain cost-to-budget dashboards that give leadership clear, SKU-level visibility into CM1 performance, cost trends, and variance drivers on a rolling basis.
- Support new product development by modeling expected ingredient costs and validating that formulations hit target CM1 thresholds prior to commercialization.
Raw Ingredient Sourcing & Contract Management
- Lead sourcing activities for raw ingredients, packaging components, and co-manufacturing inputs — evaluating supplier options, negotiating pricing and terms, and ensuring contracts reflect current business needs and volume commitments.
- Maintain a centralized contract repository with clear visibility into key terms: pricing tiers, volume commitments, contract expiration dates, renewal windows, and performance clauses.
- Proactively manage contract renewals and renegotiations, benchmarking current supplier pricing against market rates and alternative sources to ensure RAW Nutrition is not overpaying on contracted inputs.
- Coordinate with the quality and formulation teams to ensure ingredient specifications are accurately reflected in supplier agreements and purchase orders.
