Procurement Sourcing Specialist

Lead vendor negotiations for purchases across multiple spend categories — commercial terms, pricing, discounts, payment terms, ramps, and renewal protections.

Run competitive sourcing events (RFI/RFP/RFQ) where appropriate, build and present bid comparisons, and make a clear recommendation.

Prepare for negotiations with benchmarks, usage data, and a defined walk-away position; document outcomes and realized savings.

Own the renewal calendar for your categories — engage stakeholders well ahead of renewal dates and eliminate surprise auto-renewals.

Shepherd purchase requests through the full intake-to-pay process, coordinating with Legal on contract review and redlines, Security on vendor risk and data reviews, IT on provisioning and access, and Finance on budget, PO, and accrual treatment.

Keep requests moving: chase the critical path, set expectations on timelines, and escalate early when something is stuck.

Manage supplier onboarding — required documentation, tax forms, banking verification, and supplier records in our systems.

Maintain clean, auditable records for every transaction: approvals, executed agreements, and negotiation history.

Analyze purchasing and spend data to surface consolidation opportunities, duplicate or underused tools, pricing outliers, and category trends.

Maintain reporting on savings, cost avoidance, cycle time, and spend under management; present findings to Procurement leadership and budget owners.

Support annual and quarterly budget planning with category-level spend insight and forward-looking renewal forecasts.
