Apex Systems Inc

Senior Negotiation Program Analyst

We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Senior Negotiation Program Analyst to support and scale a fast-growing negotiation function. This role is at the intersection of business operations, procurement, and vendor strategy, helping to drive cost optimization and informed decision-making across the organization. This is an opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment and wants to play a key role in shaping a strategic function.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support the end-to-end negotiation lifecycle, including intake, preparation, execution support, and post-negotiation tracking.
  • Develop comprehensive negotiation briefs that include vendor insights, contract data, renewal timelines, and market research.
  • Maintain and enhance negotiation tracking tools and dashboards, ensuring accurate visibility into pipeline, risks, and opportunities.
  • Manage contract and vendor data across systems, ensuring timely updates and data integrity.
  • Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to gather requirements, align priorities, and support negotiation strategy.
  • Deliver clear, timely reporting on negotiation status, performance metrics, and realized savings.
  • Proactively identify opportunities for cost savings, contract optimization, and process improvements.
  • Help design and implement repeatable processes and frameworks to scale the negotiation program.

Required Qualifications

Experience: 3–5+ years of experience in business analysis, procurement, operations, or a related field. Experience supporting contract lifecycle management (CLM) systems or procurement processes is required.

Skills: Strong organizational, analytical, and problem-solving skills are necessary. The ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment is also required.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in procurement, sourcing, or negotiation support.
  • Familiarity with industry research/advisory sources (e.g., Gartner, Forrester).
  • Healthcare industry experience.
  • Advanced Excel or data analysis skills for creating dashboards and reports.

What We're Looking For

  • A self-starter who takes full ownership of their work.
  • Highly organized with strong attention to detail.
  • A proactive mindset, comfortable driving follow-ups and timelines independently.
  • The ability to move quickly while maintaining accuracy and quality.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
