Description

Who We Are

Core Spaces (Core) is more than a real estate company, it’s a people company. Where building relationships is just as important as building properties. From researchers and architects to designers and operators, Core is made up of risk takers and dreamers who are on a mission to invent the future of living. Our six cultural values guide us every day and we strive to live them in everything we do:  PUSH (Invent Better Places to Live), GRIT (We Got This), LIFT (Help Each Other Win), SHINE (Bring Your Full Self), UPHOLD (Never Break Trust), GROW (Always Get Better). Everything Core does stems from this culture of collaboration and innovation, and the drive to constantly improve the resident experience. This unique approach has led to creating spaces and services that are redefining the way people live.

What We Do

Founded in 2010, Core is a vertically integrated company focused on acquiring, developing, managing, and lending across the student housing and build-to-rent (“BTR”) sectors. Its residential communities feature world-class amenities, progressive design, and hospitality-driven client service. In its award-winning student portfolio, Core currently owns and/or manages over 45,600 beds* – and has a pipeline of over 45,000 beds* in various stages of development. Core's BTR division currently has over 3,000 homes under development and in its pipeline in high-growth metros across the country. For more information, visit www.corespaces.com.

Position Overview

We are seeking a proactive and strategic Procurement Sourcing Specialist to support and drive our national procurement initiatives. This role is critical to optimizing vendor partnerships, executing sourcing strategies, and ensuring cost-efficiency across Core Spaces' portfolio. The ideal candidate will operate with a high level of independence, owning sourcing initiatives end-to-end, contributing strategic insights, and collaborating cross-functionally across the business.

What You Will Do

  • Lead sourcing efforts by identifying vendor solutions, managing RFP processes, and executing cost-saving strategies across our communities.
  • Collaborate with internal teams (operations, development, design, etc.) to align procurement strategies with property and business needs.
  • Independently manage vendor relationships, including selection, negotiation, and contract execution.
  • Own the end-to-end sourcing lifecycle, including RFPs, vendor selection, and program implementation across applicable properties.
  • Drive the rollout and adoption of new sourcing programs, providing guidance and follow-up with local teams.
  • Maintain accurate records of pricing, contracts, and supplier data in internal systems.
  • Develop reports and dashboards to track KPIs and share insights with stakeholders.
  • Research new products, materials, and vendors that align with Core Spaces’ quality and sustainability standards.
  • Ensure all procurement activities comply with company policies and relevant regulations.
  • Occasional travel may be necessary as needed.
  • Perform all other duties and tasks as assigned by management.
  • Must be able to complete all physical requirements of this role with or without a reasonable accommodation.

Ideally, you'll have

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain Management, Finance, or related field.
  • 3+ years of experience in procurement, sourcing, or supply chain (real estate/property management a plus) or a strong interest in procurement, operations, or vendor management, with transferable experience and a willingness to grow in the role.
  • Demonstrated ability to take ownership of projects and operate with a high degree of autonomy.
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and organizational skills.
  • Strong analytical skills and comfort working in Excel or other data tools (prior procurement software experience is a plus, but not required).

You'll crush it if you have experience with

  • Multi-family and Student Housing experience.
  • Experience leading RFPs and managing sourcing processes.
  • A strategic, self-starter mindset with a strong focus on stakeholder needs and business impact.
  • Customer/Stakeholder focus and a collaborative approach to problem solving.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
