  • Monitor vendor performance, service quality, and compliance with company standards and contractual agreements.
  • Assist in onboarding new vendors, including gathering required documentation and setting up payment or system access.
  • Track and analyze vendor data to identify trends, gaps, and opportunities for cost savings or efficiency improvements.
  • Support contract renewals and negotiations to maintain competitive pricing and high service quality.
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date vendor records and contact information in internal systems.
  • Escalate performance or service issues to leadership as needed and assist in developing corrective action plans.
  • What You Will Bring

  • 2+ years of experience in vendor management, procurement, or operations coordination (automotive or fleet experience is an asset).
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills with both internal and external partners.
  • Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills, with a focus on accountability and follow-through.
  • Ability to analyze data and vendor performance metrics to inform business decisions.
  • Experience with Microsoft Excel and vendor or procurement management systems.
  • Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • A proactive, solutions-focused approach with a strong sense of ownership and professionalism.
  • What We Offer :

  • Competitive compensation and benefits package.
  • Employee team building and social events.
  • Learning and development programs for all team members.
  • Growth potential within our organization.
  • Certification fees will be covered, if required.
