Job Description

MUST BE LOCATED IN SOUTH FLORIDA

Position: Senior Buyer

Location: Brickell, Miami FL (On-site 5 days a week initially, with potential to go hybrid after proving capabilities)

Job Overview:

We are seeking an experienced Indirect Procurement Consultant with a strong background in sourcing and researching services (rather than goods). The consultant will play a key role in supporting the sourcing team by providing procurement expertise and conducting extensive supplier research. The role will initially require full-time on-site presence, with potential for a hybrid work arrangement (3 days on-site, 2 remote) after demonstrating proficiency.

Key Responsibilities:

Extensive experience with contracts (RFPs, RFIs, etc.).

Strong background in cost structures and budgeting, particularly in a client-facing environment where financial considerations differ.

  • Lead sourcing initiatives, providing in-depth research, analysis, and procurement expertise.
  • Develop and manage RFPs (Request for Proposals) and RFIs (Request for Information) autonomously.
  • Analyze and evaluate supplier proposals and quotes, making recommendations based on factors like industry expertise, quality, total cost, and corporate alignment.
  • Negotiate with suppliers to ensure favorable terms and agreements.
  • Oversee the preparation and scheduling of purchase orders, ensuring timely delivery and compliance.
  • Follow up with suppliers to ensure on-time delivery and perform checks against orders.
  • Conduct supplier quality audits and manage any non-conformance issues.

Key Qualifications:

  • Proven experience in indirect procurement, with a strong focus on services (e.g., facilities, construction, HR, finance, etc.), with some experience in goods.
  • Ability to create and manage RFPs and RFIs without supervision.
  • Extensive sourcing and research experience, including evaluating supplier proposals and negotiating contracts.
  • Experience using procurement systems such as Ariba (preferred) or Coupa.
  • Strong communication and negotiation skills.
  • Ability to work within a close-knit team, requiring a great cultural fit and strong interpersonal skills.

Key Traits for Success:

  • Collaborative, positive attitude to fit into a close-knit team environment.
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to handle multiple priorities in a fast-paced setting.
  • Proactive approach to problem-solving and a high level of self-motivation.
