Senior Manager, Procurement
Power the Productions and Operations Behind the World's Most-Watched Brand
Beast Industries is scaling at a pace few companies ever experience, and behind every record-breaking production and every new business line is a procurement engine that has to move just as fast. As Manager of Procurement, you'll build that engine from the ground up.
This is a rare opportunity to shape an end-to-end procurement function at one of the most dynamic media companies in the world. You'll be the connective tissue between high-volume production teams who demand speed and creative problem-solving, and corporate leaders who require disciplined sourcing, vendor management, and cost controls. One day you might be negotiating a last-minute equipment deal on set; the next, you're building a multi-year supplier strategy.
If you thrive in ambiguity, have a bias for action, and know how to build systems that enable scale without slowing people down, we want to hear from you.
The Role
Reporting into Finance, you'll lead procurement across both production and corporate spend partnering closely with Studio, Production, Tech, Legal, and executive leadership to deliver a function that is fast, scalable, and best-in-class.
What You'll Do
Lead procurement for video and content production, including equipment, props, set materials, talent logistics, specialty items, and on-location services
Partner closely with Production and Studio teams to anticipate needs and execute under tight timelines
Build and manage a vetted vendor network capable of sourcing unique, high-value, and large-scale items on short notice

What You'll Bring
7–12+ years of procurement experience, with meaningful exposure to both production/operations environments and corporate procurement
