Procurement Specialist

$65k - $120k
Full-time

True Anomaly

Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.

OUR MISSION

True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.

OUR VALUES

Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity. What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results. It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.

YOUR MISSION

As a Procurement Specialist at True Anomaly, you will own the day-to-day execution of indirect procurement — sourcing the services, tools, facilities, and operational goods that keep our teams moving. You will manage the full purchase-to-pay cycle, handle vendor relationships, and solve the supply problems that pop up without warning. This is a tactical, execution-focused role for someone who is organized, resourceful, and energized by getting things done quickly and correctly in a fast-moving environment.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Execute the full procure-to-pay process: intake requests, issue RFQs, evaluate bids, issue purchase orders, and confirm delivery and invoicing Maintain an active vendor list for indirect categories, ensuring competitive options are available when needs arise Track open purchase orders and proactively follow up with vendors to ensure on-time delivery Support contract administration for indirect agreements — NDAs, MSAs, SOWs — coordinating with legal as needed Serve as the day-to-day point of contact for indirect vendors, managing performance expectations and resolving delivery, quality, or invoicing issues quickly Identify and qualify new vendors when existing suppliers cannot meet requirements on cost, lead time, or capability Escalate and resolve vendor disputes, short shipments, and invoice discrepancies without letting issues linger Maintain accurate procurement records — POs, quotes, contracts, and receipts — in the procurement system of record Support compliance with FAR, DFARS, and ITAR requirements as they apply to indirect procurement activities. Identify repetitive or manual procurement tasks and recommend process improvements to reduce cycle time Communicate clearly on delivery status, vendor issues, and cost variances so internal stakeholders are never left guessing

QUALIFICATIONS

3–6 years of procurement or purchasing experience, with meaningful exposure to indirect spend categories Hands-on experience executing the full procure-to-pay process, including issuing RFQs, evaluating quotes, and managing POs Strong vendor management skills — comfortable holding suppliers accountable and resolving disputes directly Highly organized with the ability to manage a high volume of open orders and competing priorities simultaneously Familiarity with procurement or ERP systems (e.g., Coupa, SAP, NetSuite, or similar) Clear communicator who keeps stakeholders informed without being asked

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

Experience in aerospace, defense, or technology manufacturing environments Familiarity with FAR, DFARS, or ITAR compliance requirements as they apply to purchasing Exposure to contract administration (MSAs, SOWs, NDAs) Experience contributing to procurement process buildout in a startup or high-growth company

COMPENSATION

Base Salary: $65,000-$120,000 Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, location, and experience.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

Work Location—Successful candidates will be located near Denver or Colorado Springs. While we observe a hybrid work environment, some work must be done on site. Work environment—the work environment; temperature, noise level, inside or outside, or other factors that will affect the person's working conditions while performing the job. Physical demands—the physical demands of the job, including bending, sitting, lifting and driving. This position will be open until it is successfully filled. To submit your application, please follow the directions below. #LI-Onsite To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
