Global Supply Manager - Services

About the Role

Base is looking for a Global Supply Manager to own strategy and procurement for the services and partners that keep Base building, delivering, and scaling. The individual will be focused on facility services, HVAC and building maintenance, utilities, furniture, signage, office supplies, and food and beverage. Base is opening locations across the country, and today each site finds its own vendors from scratch. You'll replace that with nationwide agreements, a preferred vendor list, and a repeatable vendor playbook for every new site, using Base's combined volume to get better pricing and more consistent service.

While experience in facilities or procurement is valuable, we’re more interested in finding exceptional people who learn quickly, take ownership, and are excited to build. This is a chance to help build a procurement organization from the ground up, with meaningful ownership, direct work with business leaders, and hands-on experience in negotiation, commercial strategy, contract drafting, supplier management, cost optimization, and executive communication from day one.

What You’ll Do

• Lead end-to-end sourcing for Base warehouses, including facility services, HVAC and building maintenance, utilities, furniture, signage, office supplies, and catered food.
• Negotiate nationwide and regional agreements that use Base's total volume to lower cost and give every site consistent pricing, service levels, and terms.
• Build and maintain a preferred vendor list and site playbook so the internal team can get core services in place at a new location quickly, without recreating the wheel each time.
• Draft, review, redline, and negotiate contracts with service providers, and suppliers, including master service agreements, statements of work, pricing schedules, and service-level terms, writing clear language that conveys business intent and reduces risk.
• Run RFPs and RFQs, benchmark pricing, and recommend the right commercial structure (e.g., national vs. regional coverage, fixed vs. usage-based pricing) based on business needs and risk.
• Partner with Workplace Operations, Deployments, Real Estate & Construction, Finance, Legal, and site leaders to understand requirements and launch timelines, working toward practical, cost-effective solutions.
• Run regular supplier scorecard reviews on cost, service quality, and responsiveness, and give suppliers clear feedback that drives improvement.
• Travel periodically to Base sites to understand needs, meet suppliers, and support new site launches.

What You'll Bring

• High ownership and work ethic: you take responsibility for outcomes, follow through on commitments, and put in the effort to help build a world-class procurement organization.
• Fast learner, comfortable with ambiguity: you quickly learn new categories, markets, and suppliers, and are resourceful enough to create clarity and next steps when no playbook exists.
• Strong communicator: able to influence site leaders, operators, and suppliers without formal authority.
• Sharp analytical and commercial instincts: strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities with urgency.
• Background in procurement, sourcing, facilities management, operations, finance, or consulting preferred. Experience with facility services or multi-site spend is a plus.
