About Us
F. Schumacher & Co. is a creative powerhouse at the intersection of heritage craftsmanship and bold innovation. As a design-driven leader in the $150B+ global interior design industry, we’re redefining what it means to bring beauty, character, and meaning into people’s homes. Our portfolio includes some of the most iconic fabrics, wallpapers, trims, and furnishings in the world—beloved by designers, tastemakers, and visionaries.
We’re growing fast, with a team of over 500 globally and showrooms in cities from New York to London. But more than that, we’re building a company culture rooted in deep ownership, agility, and purpose. We believe design changes lives—and our work proves it every day.
About the Role
We’re looking for a sharp, hands-on Procurement Operations Lead to support our rapidly growing UK operations. This is not a back-office role. It’s a critical seat at the table—where supply chain precision meets business impact. You’ll serve as the connective tissue between vendors, logistics, and our global procurement team. You’ll not only ensure purchase orders move on time—you’ll help us build smarter systems, scale our supply chain, and elevate our operational excellence across borders.
This is a unique opportunity to join a fast-moving, design-obsessed company where your work will be seen, felt, and appreciated. If you thrive in complexity, obsess over process, and love turning chaos into clarity—this role is for you.
Procurement is at the heart of our customer experience—and in this role, you will directly shape how Schumacher delivers on its promise of timeless, high-quality design. You’ll work with brilliant teammates, contribute to a company on the rise, and help build a best-in-class operation that sets new standards in our industry.
