Requirements for the role: - 1–3 years of experience in procurement, vendor management, sourcing, or a related operations role - Strong organizational skills and comfort managing a high volume of concurrent requests with competing deadlines - Clear written and verbal communication; comfortable proactively chasing internal stakeholders and external vendor contacts to keep requests moving - Proficiency with spreadsheets; experience with procurement/vendor management platforms (e.g., Zip, Coupa, Ironclad) a plus - A self-starter mentality: comfortable driving process with minimal oversight - Sharp attention to detail across contract terms, vendor documentation, and Zip records.
