- Source, negotiate, and procure services across various categories
- Manage the procurement process from requisition creation through final payment of invoices, and be accountable for resolving issues within this process
- Conduct price analysis in support of supplier proposals and lead formal negotiations of all types
- Review service procurement requests for compliance, implement contracts, and engage with suppliers to ensure optimal pricing, service, and terms while reducing costs and minimizing risk
- Ensure professional and consistent supplier management, cultivating relationships across the supply base in alignment with internal policies
- Maintain accurate procurement documentation and records for all agreement types
- Identify cost-saving opportunities
- Track and manage daily metrics
- Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, or related field
- Minimum 4-5 years of experience in procurement/purchasing, specifically in Supply Chain Services Procurement
- Proven experience in strategic sourcing, supplier identification, and evaluation
- Experience sourcing and evaluating potential suppliers across multiple service categories
- Independent and entrepreneurial work style; experience in a hyper-growth company or comparable environment is desirable
- Strong ability to engage with different internal and senior stakeholders and work effectively with multiple functional teams
- Essential skills include an analytical approach, excellent negotiation abilities, strong communication skills, and comfort operating at all hierarchy levels
- Ability to interpret and apply company policies, procedures, work instructions, business standards, and U.S. government regulations (i.e., FAR, DFAR compliance)
- Strong analytical skills and data-driven mindset with experience establishing and tracking program metrics
- Ability to perform written price reasonableness determinations and price analyses using various pricing methods and data sources
- Proven ability to meet tight deadlines, multi-task, and prioritize workload on a daily basis
- Detail-oriented with strong organizational skills
- Experience in aerospace or other technical industries
