Position Overview

We are looking for a Procurement Specialist - Operations who will play a critical role in scaling and operationalizing UDT's center-led procurement function. This individual supports the execution of our Source-to-Pay strategy across a broad range of indirect spend categories - including technology, professional services, facilities, and retail/COGS. They will be a key driver in rolling out our Ramp procurement platform, executing sourcing events, and managing our retail and COGS purchasing
program. The right candidate is analytically sharp, moves fast, and takes genuine ownership of outcomes. This is not a task-execution role - it's a high-visibility position that requires someone who thinks critically, acts decisively, and brings structure to ambiguity.

What You'll Do

As part of the centralized Procurement Department under Finance, the Procurement Specialist -Operations will support the Director of Procurement in building and running a best-in-class procurement function. This role directly impacts cost control, supplier accountability, and the operational readiness of UDT's growing club network.

What Success Looks Like

• The Ramp procurement platform is fully implemented, adopted across the organization, and operating as the single source of truth for indirect purchasing.
• Sourcing events and competitive bids are executed on time, with clear documentation, defensible award decisions, and measurable cost outcomes.
• The retail and COGS purchasing program runs on system-managed order guides with supplier accountability embedded into every transaction
• Spend data is clean, current, and actionable - enabling the team to make fast, informed decisions across all managed categories.
• Internal stakeholders experience procurement as a business partner, not a bottleneck - with clear processes, responsive communication, and consistent follow-through.
• Compliance to PO and approval workflows improves measurably quarter over quarter.

About You

• Analytically driven - you're comfortable in spreadsheets, spend data, and supplier pricing models, and you use data to make decisions, not just to report them.
• Bias toward action - you don't wait for perfect information. You identify the next right move and execute it.
• Naturally organized - you manage multiple workstreams simultaneously without dropping detail or momentum.
• Commercially sharp - you understand what good supplier terms look like and you push for them.
• Systems-oriented - you learn new platforms quickly, build repeatable processes, and leave things better than you found them.
• Clear communicator - you write well, present clearly, and translate complexity into simple next steps for cross-functional audiences.
• Comfortable with ambiguity - you thrive in a fast-moving, high-growth environment where the playbook is still being written.
• High accountability - you set clear expectations with suppliers and internal partners and hold the line on commitments without being prompted.
