About the role Our procurement function is young, growing fast, and deliberately built to operate above its weight class. This is a team where early-career professionals get real exposure to complex commercial programs — and where strong performers move quickly. If you're looking for a place to learn procurement the right way, from the ground up, this is it. The Procurement Analyst is a foundational role within Prime's Global Supply Chain & Procurement function, designed for a motivated early-career professional who wants to build deep procurement expertise from day one. You will support the operational and analytical engine of our procurement team — processing requisitions, coordinating vendor onboarding, assisting with contract administration, and helping to maintain the data and reporting infrastructure that keeps our programs running. You will work directly alongside experienced procurement managers and directors, gaining hands‑on exposure to OFCI equipment sourcing, supplier relationship management, and large-scale capital program execution. You won't be filing paperwork in a back office — you'll be embedded in the work, learning by doing, and growing into broader responsibilities as you develop your skills and commercial instincts. What you'll do Requisition Intake & Purchase Order Support Receive, review, and process purchase requisitions, ensuring required information is complete and routed correctly for approval. Assist in drafting and issuing Purchase Orders under the guidance of senior procurement team members. Maintain accurate PO logs and open commitment trackers, flagging discrepancies or missing confirmations to the appropriate manager. Follow up with internal stakeholders and suppliers to confirm delivery schedules and resolve basic order status inquiries. Contract Administration Support Assist in the administration of procurement contracts, including tracking key dates, milestones, and renewal windows. Help maintain the centralized contract repository, ensuring executed agreements are accurately filed and accessible. Support internal signature and approval workflows for contracts and amendments. Learn to work with standard contract templates and flag areas requiring legal or management review. Coordinate the vendor onboarding process, collecting required documentation such as intake forms, insurance certificates, and compliance records. Enter and maintain accurate supplier information in procurement and ERP systems, ensuring records are complete and up to date. Communicate with vendors during the onboarding process to gather missing information and resolve setup issues. Partner with Accounts Payable to ensure new suppliers are correctly configured for payment processing. Vendor Risk & Compliance Support Assist in maintaining vendor risk registers, tracking the status of supplier compliance documentation such as insurance, certifications, and safety records. Support baseline risk reviews by gathering publicly available supplier information and summarizing findings for manager review. Flag suppliers with lapsed documentation or identified compliance gaps to the relevant category manager. Help track contractual obligations and delivery commitments, escalating deviations as directed. Reporting & Data Management Assist in building and maintaining procurement reporting outputs including PO trackers, spend summaries, and vendor status logs. Support data hygiene efforts across procurement systems — identifying errors, missing fields, or inconsistencies and correcting them under manager direction. Help prepare materials and data summaries for internal procurement team meetings and project reviews. Learn to use procurement data to identify patterns, flag risks, and support decision‑making by senior team members. Cross-Functional Coordination Serve as a point of contact for basic procurement inquiries from internal teams including construction, finance, and project management. Assist with the coordination of RFQ and RFP processes, including organizing vendor responses and building comparison summaries. Support the team in developing and maintaining procurement templates, checklists, and process documentation. Take on additional procurement support tasks as directed, with an expectation that responsibilities will grow as performance and capability develop. Describe the specific responsibilities and job functions of the role Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Business, Finance, Operations, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience. 0–2 years of professional experience; internship or co‑op experience in procurement, supply chain, finance, or operations is a plus. Strong attention to detail and a genuine commitment to accuracy — you notice when something looks off and you don't let it slide. Proficiency in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets; comfortable working with data and building basic tracking tools. Clear written and verbal communication skills — you can summarize a situation concisely and flag issues without over‑complicating them. Organized, self‑motivated, and able to manage multiple tasks simultaneously without losing track of the details. Preferred Exposure to ERP or procurement systems (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, Coupa, or similar) through coursework, internship, or prior role. Experience with vendor communication or contract administration in any professional capacity. Familiarity with supply chain concepts, procurement processes, or commercial contract fundamentals. What Sets You Apart You're not here to coast through your first job — you're here to learn fast, add value quickly, and build the kind of commercial foundation that sets you up for a long career. You take ownership of your work even when no one is watching, you ask good questions, and you follow through without needing to be reminded. You're hungry to understand how things work — not just how to complete the task in front of you, but why it matters, how it connects to the bigger picture, and how to do it better next time. What You'll Get Structured exposure to enterprise procurement across OFCI equipment, vendor management, contracting, and supply chain operations — from day one. Day‑to‑day mentorship from experienced procurement managers, directors and executive leadership who are invested in developing early‑career talent.
