THE COMPANY
Jones Fish is an industry leader in aquatic resource management and also provides pond aeration/fountain services and gamefish stocking. Over the years, the Company has grown from a small, two-man operation in southwestern Ohio to an industry leader with ten locations servicing Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois, Wisconsin, Alabama, Georgia, and the Carolinas and a proficient staff of college-educated biologists.
Jones Fish’s largest service offering is its lake management business which provides route-based, contractual professional pond and lake management services to control for aquatic vegetation, excess nutrients, harmful algae and general appearance. The Company’s skilled biologists treat a range of different lakes and ponds and conditions encountered in the field across a variety of residential and commercial customers.
Purchased in February 2022 by Fort Point Capital, Jones Fish has since made three acquisitions with plans to continue growth organically and acquisitively. The combined entities were built on a foundation of exceptional customer service. As the organization moves forward, the Company seeks to elevate this commitment with the strength, scale, and resources by incorporating the unique attributes and offerings of each acquisition. The Company is built around the foundation that a client’s trust is the most valuable asset and that Jones Fish’s most valuable assets are its people.
THE ROLE
Jones Fish is seeking an experienced Strategic Sourcing Director to join our growing team. The Strategic Sourcing Director would oversee the buying of materials and capital expenditures for the Company and assist to integrate new acquisitions into a centralized purchasing system. This job involves negotiating prices and terms with vendors, evaluating the quality and alternatives for products, managing inventory stocking levels across the Company, and putting in place a continuity plan for critical product needs. In addition to material purchases, the Strategic Sourcing Director would purchase capital expenditures needs for the Company and assist in negotiating large service contracts when necessary. This is a “build-it” opportunity and will require comfort in all facets of purchasing both as a sourcing strategist, but also to oversee the execution of a centralized purchasing system.
