Corporate Director Sought for National Builder’s Purchasing/Systems Operations

Want to make an impact on a growing, respected name in luxury homebuilding? Want to lead a team of exceptional people passionate about their work? Are you ready to build upon pricing and purchasing systems that are already the envy of the industry?

A recent promotion has created an opening for a purchasing support group director based in the Tampa Bay area. This is within a private organization whose decades of steady growth and unique culture set it apart from its competitors. Even as its reach has expanded across several states, it remains a place where many professionals stay with the company for decades and everyone shares a genuine pride in client service and finely designed homes.

Reporting directly to the chief operating officer, the new director will have a blend of experience in residential estimating, purchasing and management of proprietary software development. He or she will oversee and refine estimating practices, ensuring that the pricing for several home design collections is updated frequently and incorporates new architectural details. The director will hire, manage and account for the performance of all department personnel while also overseeing estimating schedules and model home budgets. On the systems side, he or she also will improve and modify this organization’s sophisticated internal software in conjunction with the IT team and the system’s users.

The successful candidate will demonstrate extensive knowledge of construction and related budgeting practices in multiple U.S. regions. Past roles will encompass extensive experience in residential estimating, including work in the field. Past oversight of software development and systems training are a big plus. The new director also will understand the relationships between his or her work and that of other departments, as well as the broader sales process.
