Purchasing Manager - Đà Lạt

The Purchasing Manager is the steward of everything that enters the room, from ingredients and tableware to the furnishings, fittings, and day-to-day supplies that shape how members experience 1010 Đà Lạt. This is a hands-on role that owns the buying end to end for the site while leading a small purchasing function - close enough to the work to place an order and resolve a shortfall, yet organised enough to keep supply running smoothly behind a busy club.

The role calls for sound commercial judgement, structured process, and the instincts to build a supply chain that supports daily gatherings and the long-term value of the club.
