What are the responsibilities and job description for the Procurement & Supply Chain Manager position at Campus?
About Campus
Campus is on a mission to accelerate the talent of tomorrow and reimagine what college can (and should) be. The problem is clear: college costs have skyrocketed, but outcomes haven’t. Traditional college hasn’t kept up with the aspirations of today’s students—and they can’t afford to wait.
At Campus, we’ve built a two-year, accredited college where students learn from top professors at universities like Princeton, Stanford, and Howard, in live, online classes. Our students graduate with in-demand business and AI skills—ready to launch their careers or transfer to top four-year universities. Our unique approach is grounded in a pioneering technology platform and a heavily researched student success model that offers students dedicated advisors and on-demand tutoring and coaching. We were also named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2024.
We’re backed by an exceptional investor team that believes deeply in our vision for the future of education, including General Catalyst, Founders Fund, Bloomberg Beta, 8VC, Rethink Education, Sam Altman, Jason Citron, Shaquille O’Neal, and others.

About The Role
We’re looking for a Procurement & Supply Chain Manager to lead sourcing, vendor management, and logistics for Campus’s student programs in a true “0-1” capacity, ensuring that as we grow, our supply chain remains sustainable and durable.
Reporting to the Director of Student Experience, you will be the primary architect of our procurement and logistics infrastructure. There are no pre-existing playbooks, and we will rely on your deep expertise to build the processes, procedures, and controls from the ground up that will allow us to scale. You’ll manage contracts and vendor relationships from sourcing to fulfillment, develop standardized workflows and forecasts, and ensure suppliers meet cost, quality, and service standards to deliver an excellent student experience.
If you’re a data-driven procurement expert with strong negotiation skills and a passion for operational excellence, we’d love to hear from you.
