Position Summary The Procurement Coordinator is a newly created role that guides Hope Media Group's budget managers through the procurement process across every category of organizational spend, including capital equipment, software and SaaS subscriptions, vendor service contracts, and general operating purchases. Budget managers own the vendor relationship, vendor selection, and negotiation; the Procurement Coordinator is the process expert who keeps each request moving, ensures it follows Hope Media Group's established procurement policy and approval matrix, advises on contract terms and pricing benchmarks, and keeps documentation complete and audit‑ready. Key Responsibilities: Guide budget managers through the procurement process end to end, from purchase request through purchase order issuance, so each request follows the approval matrix and required thresholds. Advise budget managers on contract terms, pricing benchmarks, and negotiation leverage points; budget managers retain ownership of vendor selection and negotiation. Serve as the go‑to resource for procurement policy questions: when competitive bids are required, what approval level a purchase needs, and how to structure a contract request. Review purchase requisitions for proper approval, account coding, and budget availability before purchase order issuance. Maintain a centralized vendor and contract repository, tracking key terms, effective dates, and renewal or auto‑renewal risk, and proactively flag upcoming renewals to the responsible budget manager. Flag purchases made outside the approved procurement process to the Controller and coordinate a path back into compliance. Coordinate with Accounts Payable to confirm invoices match approved purchase orders and contract terms, and research and resolve discrepancies. Support annual budgeting and capital expenditure planning with vendor pricing data and market benchmarks pulled from the contract repository. Track and report procurement metrics, including cycle time, policy exceptions, and contract renewal risk, to the Controller and SVP of Finance. Maintain procurement documentation in Sage Intacct, FinQuery and Ramp, ensuring contracts, purchase orders, and approvals are complete and audit‑ready.
