Millwork Purchasing Manager

Abel Door & Trim
Gainesville, TX

Thank you for taking a moment consider this position. I am the owner writing this add and I ask that you please only apply if you have experience as a purchasing manager.

We are a millwork supplier to the single family home builders in DFW. Our growth has been extremely strong and we are up 200% over last year at this time.

Some areas we would like you to be gifted in:
  • Solving problems is something you enjoy and people often ask you for help.
  • Relationship development with suppliers and peers.
  • Contract negotiations with suppliers.
  • Vendor applications and onboarding new suppliers.
  • Inventory management with an eye for warehousing and logistics.
  • Sourcing specialized millwork products (hardware, veneer, unique crown profiles, etc) We cater to custom home builders as well and this is where the job gets really interesting.
  • Cost optimization.


If you've done this role, I don't need to get too specific. But you will need to qualify yourself in our screening call and help me understand why you are confident in doing a great job.

I want you to consider a perspective we have at our company. Humility is a necessary trait for personal growth.

"Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less." CS Lewis.

I want a company built with people who are willing to be wrong at times and uynderstand that I don't demand excellence. I strive for transparency with hope for growth. Personal reflection is a trait often overlooked yet it is the mechanism we can use to learn how to get better. Being personally honest that the mistake you may have made, might have created some issues, is something I hope the people who work for us are ok with. I have made a lot of mistakes in this company and I understand it's just part of being human. But with humility in place, we both can work together without feeling threatened all the time. This isn't a CYA type of company. I got your back as a owner if you can be honest with both your strengths and weaknesses. I hate turnover and my hope is that your work with us a long time. It is a lot more fun that way.

Our company runs as a team and must function as a team. For that to actually happen, we have to be focused on how to help serve those around us. How do we solve the problem? How do we be creative to get the solution? What can we do to say YES!

I would like a cover letter helping me understand why this add was appealing to you. Please include the perspective of why you agree or disagree with humility.
