Procurement Support Specialist (Admin Focused)

Job Duties

Beacon Hill was founded to set a new standard in search, career placement and flexible staffing.

Procurement Operations & Intake Specialist (Technology) - Contract-to-Hire

Location: Lakeville, MN (Hybrid)

Type: Contract-to-hire (preferred), full-time hours

Target Start: ASAP

Why this role exists

Our client's procurement function is newly formed and has quickly gained visibility across the organization. Demand has increased significantly, creating pressure across contract visibility, renewals, intake triage for technology-related requests, vendor management, and cross-functional coordination (Legal, Security, Finance, IT, Product).

This role is designed to reduce strain on the current single-contributor model, stabilize day-to-day execution, and help pilot/improve intake and procurement workflows-especially as the team prepares for near-term regulatory/audit remediation and works to centralize visibility into active contracts, SLAs, renewals, and key terms.

Role summary

This is a mid-level, hands-on role focused on:

Procurement operations and renewals support

Front-door intake triage for technology-related requests

Coordinating across Procurement, Legal, Security, IT, Product, and FinanceThis is not a pure administrative role and not a senior strategic negotiator role. The best fit is someone comfortable operating in the middle-tactical, organized, and able to apply judgment in a fast-moving environment.

What you'll do

Procurement Operations & Vendor Support (Primary)

Support software and services contract renewals

Process straightforward renewals (same scope/pricing/licenses; low YoY increases)

Assist with purchase order creation (ServiceNow-based; teachable)

Document and maintain contract and vendor records, including:

Contract terms and key obligations

Renewal dates and timelines

SLAs and service commitments

Termination clauses and notice periods

Intake Triage / Request Qualification

Serve as the initial "human filter" for new technology intake requests

Help determine whether requests are: new purchase vs. enhancement vs. change to an existing product

Identify which stakeholders need to be involved (Procurement, Legal, Security, Infrastructure, Architecture, etc.)

Reduce unnecessary reviews that slow teams down by applying sound judgment and routing requests appropriately

Partner closely with key cross-functional counterparts (e.g., product and legal/process stakeholders)

Process Enablement (Secondary)

Help pilot and refine intake and procurement workflows as the function scales

Provide feedback on ServiceNow configuration and identify system/process gaps

Support documentation once processes stabilize (future-state documentation vs. documenting broken processes)

What we're looking for

Must-haves

4-8 years of experience in procurement, vendor management, portfolio operations, or IT sourcing

Experience supporting technology contracts (software, SaaS, IT services)

Comfort working cross-functionally with Legal, Finance, Security, and IT

Ability to distinguish and apply judgment around:

New purchase vs. enhancement vs. renewal

When stakeholder involvement is truly needed vs. when it adds friction

Nice-to-haves

Prior experience in technology procurement and/or vendor management

Exposure to PMO/portfolio intake, gating, or request triage processes

ServiceNow exposure (not required; teachable)

Critical soft skills

Comfortable with ambiguity and a quickly growing organization

Patient, adaptable, and process-minded without being rigid

Able to work independently

Strong communication and judgment; able to push back when reviews aren't necessary

Work environment

Hybrid role based in Lakeville, MN (hybrid schedule/details aligned with team needs)
