Re: Sourcing Manager, Contractors & Site Services
Dear Hiring Team,
I’ve spent the last decade building and managing supplier ecosystems across multi-site construction and operational environments, where success depends on having the right contractors, in the right place, at the right time—without compromising cost, quality, or schedule. At Flik Hospitality, I lead sourcing and procurement across concurrent hotel construction and renovation projects, managing complex vendor networks and aligning procurement strategy with aggressive deployment timelines. I don’t just run bids—I build systems that enable repeatable, scalable execution. My experience maps directly to the challenges in this role:
• I’ve built and managed multi-tier supplier networks across trades, logistics providers, and service vendors, ensuring consistent coverage across multiple active sites
• I’ve led RFP development, bid leveling, and contract negotiations, driving cost discipline while maintaining performance standards
• I’ve partnered cross-functionally with operations, finance, and field teams to anticipate demand, align timelines, and remove execution bottlenecks before they impact delivery
• I’ve implemented procurement frameworks and tracking systems that improve speed, visibility, and accountability across the supply base
What differentiates me is how I think about sourcing: not as a transactional function, but as a deployment engine. The real work is building relationships, structuring agreements that scale, and creating the visibility needed to make fast, confident decisions as conditions change.
I’m particularly drawn to this role because it sits at the intersection of infrastructure, workforce strategy, and speed. While my background has been in construction procurement, I’ve consistently operated in environments where contractor availability, logistics coordination, and vendor performance determine whether projects succeed or stall. I’m ready to take that experience into a higher- scale, more technically demanding environment—and build the sourcing systems that keep Fluidstack ahead of its deployment curve. If you’re looking for someone who can bring structure to ambiguity, build supplier networks that actually perform under pressure, and treat workforce sourcing as a strategic advantage—not a back-office function—I’d welcome the opportunity to connect. Sincerely,
Stephanie Spruiell
