Build cleaner, greener workplaces-with purpose.

At Verde Clean, we're more than a facilities services company-we're a mission-driven team working toward healthier spaces and a greener world. Founded in 2019, we are a proud Hispanic-owned, certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) delivering sustainable, eco-friendly solutions to commercial clients nationwide. From green cleaning and recycling to cleanroom support and composting, we help organizations live their values through cleaner operations.

We're growing fast-and we're looking for a talented Procurement Specialist to help lead that growth with strategy, impact, and sustainability at the core.

About the Role

As our Procurement Specialist, you'll lead end-to-end sourcing and procurement operations that drive cost savings, supplier diversity, and eco-conscious purchasing. This role combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution and is perfect for someone who knows that procurement isn't just about cutting costs-it's about building value across people, planet, and performance.

What You'll Do

• Lead sourcing and procurement across key categories with a focus on cost, quality, sustainability, and compliance

• Develop and implement sourcing strategies that reflect Verde's environmental and social goals

• Coordinate vendor setup and procurement for new client site launches

• Oversee purchase order and accounts payable workflows

• Track procurement KPIs, conduct spend analysis, and drive continuous process improvement

• Manage fleet vehicles (insurance, registration, maintenance) and ensure operational vendor compliance

• Maintain inventory and asset tracking across sites

Who You Are

• A Procurement Specialist who sees sourcing as a strategic driver-not just a support function

• Collaborative and clear communicator across departments and leadership

• Analytical, detail-oriented, and highly organized under pressure

• Comfortable using procurement tools and financial models to make smart decisions

• Passionate about sustainable sourcing, supplier diversity, and positive change

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Business, Finance, or related field

• 3-5 years in a Procurement and Sourcing, strategic sourcing, or supply chain leadership role

• Proven track record in cost savings, supplier evaluation, and performance improvement

• Skilled in contract negotiation, vendor management, and procurement law

• Experience with tools like Coupa, Ariba, or SAP; strong Excel proficiency

• Preferred: CPSM, CPSD, or MBA; deep knowledge of sustainable procurement

Join a fast-growing, mission-driven company shaping the future of green facilities services

• Work with a diverse and inclusive team that lives its values

• Make a measurable impact-on clients, communities, and the planet

• Enjoy competitive salary and benefits in a high-accountability, high-support culture
