Vendor Management

Keedian (formerly Tutenlabs) is transforming how buildings operate — combining technology implementation, AI-powered optimization, and managed services to help multi-site organizations cut costs, reduce emissions, and move from reactive fixes to predictive performance.

Our vision is clear: a future where buildings run autonomously, so our clients can focus on what matters most.

Location: 100% remote – we prioritize candidates based in Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina

What this role is about

You'll be responsible for managing the vendor and supplier ecosystem behind Keedian’s field operations, executing procurement of hardware and services, and supporting project execution across multiple sites.

You’ll work closely with:

• IoT Engineering, which defines technical standards

• Product, which defines platform requirements

• Project Managers, who lead execution

Your role is to ensure that vendors, materials, and costs are aligned so projects can be executed efficiently and without delays.

This is a hands-on role. You’ll be involved in sourcing vendors, comparing options, negotiating costs, coordinating logistics, and making sure execution happens as planned.

You’ll learn fast. The operations are real, the clients depend on them, and delays or inefficiencies have direct impact. This is a team that is still evolving — which means more ownership, more visibility, and more responsibility from early on.

If you're looking for a role where you can operate close to execution, make decisions, and directly impact cost and delivery — this is it.
