Description:

This role encompasses vendor negotiations, documentation, and asset management tasks such as software renewals, user account requests, and the destruction or turn-in of retired property. The analyst compiles and analyzes statistical data to determine feasibility and establish price objectives, monitors supplier performance, tracks price trends and manufacturing processes, and evaluates opportunities to leverage material acquisitions. They negotiate with suppliers, analyze operations to determine factors affecting prices, and ensure lowest cost consistent with quality, reliability, and schedule requirements. Responsibilities include reviewing proposals, negotiating prices, selecting or recommending suppliers, analyzing trends, following up on orders, verifying delivery, approving payments, maintaining records, preparing RFPs and bid packages, and reviewing license agreements. The Senior Procurement Analyst works closely with requesters, legal, cyber security, and privacy teams to mitigate risk, and supports senior customer leadership’s broader needs as required. The scope and volume of these duties may expand significantly, requiring adaptability, professionalism, and a proactive approach to evolving tasks and priorities.
