About Landing
At Landing, we’re on a mission to make living flexible. Since 2019, we’ve reimagined apartment renting with the industry’s first flexible living model. Our membership program gives people access to a network of fully furnished apartments in 250+ cities — no deposits, no stress, just freedom to live anywhere.

About the Role:
We are looking for a strategic, detail-oriented Part-Time Purchasing Manager to keep our supply chain running smoothly and our homes fully stocked. This role sits at the heart of our furnished apartments business — you'll play a key role in developing long-term sourcing strategies, managing vendor relationships, and contributing to cost savings and operational efficiency. You’ll make sure the right products are ordered, delivered, and available when needed — helping us operate efficiently and deliver an exceptional member experience.

What You’ll Do:
  • Forecast & Plan: Anticipate purchasing needs by analyzing inventory and demand to place timely, cost-effective orders
  • Manage Vendors: Build and maintain strong relationships with suppliers in key categories (linens, housewares, electronics, OS&E)
  • Negotiate & Source: Identify new vendors when needed and negotiate pricing and terms to maximize value
  • Process Orders: Place and track purchase orders, resolve discrepancies, and follow up on delayed shipments
  • Oversee Inventory: Monitor warehouse stock and coordinate with the warehouse team to keep inventory accurate and organized
  • Control Costs: Track spending, identify savings opportunities, and maintain accurate purchasing records
  • Handle Compliance: Ensure timely vendor payments and upload receipts to Airbase to keep operations seamless
  • Manage Returns: Coordinate product returns, replacements, and refunds as necessary
  • Turnaround Time: Complete purchasing requests and approvals within defined lead times (e.g., 2–3 business days)

What You’ll Bring:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Supply Chain Management, or related field preferred
  • Minimum of 4–5 years of purchasing or procurement experience, ideally within real estate, construction, or property management
  • Excellent negotiation, forecasting, and vendor management skills
  • Detail-oriented with strong organization and follow-through
  • Comfortable with spreadsheets and order management systems
  • Strong communicator who thrives in a fast-paced, growing business
  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects in a part-time schedule

Why You’ll Love Landing
  • Make an Impact: You’ll directly influence purchasing operations behind a multimillion-dollar business
  • Own Your Work: Lead vendor relationships and drive cost-saving initiatives
  • Grow with Us: Join a dynamic, fast-scaling company that values efficiency, innovation, and continuous improvement
  • Flexible Schedule: Enjoy the benefits of part-time, remote work with meaningful impact
