INTRODUCTION

Merative is seeking an experienced Procurement Advisor to manage sourcing, purchasing, contracting, and supplier relationships, primarily for Information Technology, with additional responsibility for Finance, Sales Operations, Marketing, and other corporate spend categories.

This hands-on role spans the full procurement lifecycle—from defining business requirements and selecting suppliers through commercial negotiation, contracting, purchase orders, onboarding, renewals, and termination. You will partner with stakeholders and suppliers to balance cost, commercial value, business needs, risk, compliance, and speed of execution.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Partner with stakeholders to define requirements, budgets, timelines, implementation needs, evaluation criteria, and sourcing strategies based on spend, complexity, and risk.
• Lead RFIs, RFQs, and RFPs; research suppliers and alternatives; analyze proposals; and develop clear commercial comparisons and recommendations. Document sole-source business justifications when competition is not practical.
• Negotiate pricing, discounts, payment terms, renewal increases, service levels, and other commercial provisions using historical spend, available benchmarks, market conditions, and alternatives.
• Manage technology procurement across software and SaaS, cloud services, hardware and infrastructure, technical support, data and subscriptions, and IT professional services. Evaluate licensing models, consumption forecasts, cloud commitments, and implementation dependencies to optimize usage and contractual commitments.
• Support Finance platforms, subscriptions, consulting, and corporate services; Sales Operations CRM, sales-enablement solutions, data, and services; and Marketing technology, agencies, digital services, research, and content services. Apply consistent procurement standards while addressing each function’s commercial needs.
• Coordinate supplier agreements and required Legal, Privacy, Security, Finance, technical, and business reviews; negotiate procurement-related commercial terms; and track approvals, signatures, and open actions.
• Proactively manage renewals, amendments, extensions, expansions, reductions, and terminations, allowing sufficient time for sourcing, negotiation, and approvals. Assess ongoing supplier value and maintain accurate contract, pricing, and renewal records.
• Review procurement requests for completeness, budget information, approvals, and supporting documentation; resolve gaps with requesters; and support requisitions, purchase orders, and supplier onboarding.
• Partner with Finance and Accounts Payable to resolve purchase order, invoice, payment, and supplier issues. Track requests through completion and maintain accurate records in applicable procurement, contract, and supplier systems, including ServiceNow and Oracle.
• Ensure compliance with company policies and approval requirements; maintain sourcing and supplier-selection documentation; and escalate material commercial, contractual, supplier, compliance, and business-continuity risks.
• Build trusted stakeholder and supplier relationships and provide visibility into sourcing activities, renewals, contracts, purchase orders, risks, and required actions.
• Use procurement and financial data to identify and document savings, cost avoidance, supplier consolidation, and other commercial value. Improve procurement and procure-to-pay processes, reporting, controls, automation, and standardization.
