About the Role
Join our team to help us provide the right products, at the right price, and at the right time. As a Vendor Management Specialist (Sales and Growth), you will be responsible for building and managing etrailer's relationships with vendor partners. This role ensures vendors view etrailer as a top-tier partner for launching and growing their products.
You will serve as both the voice of the vendor inside etrailer and a strong representative of etrailer to the vendor, ensuring trust, visibility, and continued collaboration across the lifecycle of the relationship. By maintaining consistent communication, surfacing new product opportunities, and supporting program execution, you will be a key driver in our product development and growth strategy.
The Day-to-Day
Your work will involve maintaining ongoing personal contact with vendor partners through multiple meaningful touchpoints daily. You will host vendor meetings, coordinate trainings, and attend trade shows and vendor visits. A significant part of the role involves reviewing vendor programs—including margin, freight, stock levels, and competitiveness—and renegotiating terms where necessary.
You will utilize tools like OneNote and VM tools to track all vendor interactions and submit weekly impact reports. Proactively surfacing new product opportunities, particularly New to the World (NTW) or exclusive products, is central to your success. You will also collaborate across departments such as data, pricing, and compliance to ensure clean handoffs, clear expectations, and internal execution.
