UC Systemwide Procurement is currently seeking a temporary position (6-12 months?) to provide project management support of UC's revenue generation portfolio, ensuring operational continuity across supplier partnerships and recurring revenue administration during the temporary assignment. This temporary position would report to the Senior Director, Strategic Enhancement Team.

• Develop and convert revenue-generation opportunities through LAMP and other supplier partnerships
• Develop and manage consolidated reporting of all external leads, sales, revenue, supplier participation, and program performance
• Manage UC Card Program, including campus engagement, supplier performance, rebate optimization, transaction analysis, program controls, auditing, and planning for the next card procurement and transition
• Manage and administer rebates, patronage, incentive payments, and other revenue programs
• Ensure ongoing reporting of supplier partner utilization data into spend data visualization dashboard

• Coordinate supplier reporting, financial reconciliations, campus allocations, and revenue distributions in accordance with contractual obligations
• Partner across the system to ensure timely processing, accurate financial records, and resolution of discrepancies
• Monitor recurring milestones and deliverables to ensure timely completion of contractual financial activities
• Track and monitor value-add benefits to ensure target performance is achieved

Key Abilities Required

• Analytical Judgment : The ability to interpret financial, transaction, supplier, and utilization data; identify performance gaps; and determine appropriate corrective actions.
• Attention to detail : The role involves financial reconciliations, allocations, audits, contractual obligations, and recurring payments. Accuracy and disciplined recordkeeping will be essential.
• Independent Execution : Because this is a temporary assignment intended to preserve operational continuity, the individual must be able to onboard quickly, understand existing programs, and manage responsibilities with limited disruption.

• Adaptability : The candidate must be able to operate across revenue development, financial administration, supplier management, card-program operations, reporting, auditing, and procurement planning.
