Merchandising Manager
About Kojo
It's time to build. Whether it's creating more housing, upgrading our infrastructure, or adapting to climate change, one thing is clear: the construction industry is at the center of solving our biggest problems. We’re making buildings cheaper and easier to build by transforming the way commercial construction companies buy their materials. Join us.
Founded in 2018, Kojo is now one of the fastest-growing construction technology companies in the world. Construction accounts for $10 trillion in global spend annually and we can’t live without its output - our roads, schools, hospitals, and offices. Despite this, there’s been very little innovation over the past 70 years in how materials - which constitute up to 40% of project costs - are bought and sold. This is our opportunity.
We’re seeking a collaborative and detail-oriented Merchandising Manager who will play a pivotal role in transforming our extensive electrical catalog, while leveraging data insights to identify commonly ordered parts. This role involves inspecting and refining our catalog to ensure it meets customer expectations, adjusting catalog items to meet industry standards, and developing an industry-standard taxonomy for efficient procurement.
This role requires a deep understanding of customer needs and empathy to ensure the catalog is intuitive, clear, and usable, driving user satisfaction and operational efficiency. This role reports to our Chief Operating Officer and will work closely with our customers, Product, Design, Engineering, and Data Science teams.
