Procurement and Supply Chain Manager

About Campus Campus https://campus.edu/ is on a mission to accelerate the talent of tomorrow and reimagine what college can (and should) be. The problem is clear: college costs have skyrocketed, but outcomes haven’t. Traditional college hasn’t kept up with the aspirations of today’s students—and they can’t afford to wait. At Campus, we’ve built a two-year, accredited college where students learn from top professors at universities like Princeton, Stanford, and Howard, in live, online classes. Our students graduate with in-demand business and AI skills—ready to launch their careers or transfer to top four-year universities. Our unique approach is grounded in a pioneering technology platform and a heavily researched student success model that offers students dedicated advisors and on-demand tutoring and coaching. We were also named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2024 https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4289374-1&h=905796532&u=https%3A%2F%2Fc212.net%2Fc%2Flink%2F%3Ft%3D0%26l%3Den%26o%3D4174213-1%26h%3D410953500%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.fastcompany.com%252F91036638%252Fcampus-most-innovative-companies-2024%26a%3DMost%2BInnovative%2BCompanies%2Bof%2B2024&a=Most+Innovative+Companies+of+2024.
