Job description

We are looking for a Procurement Specialist to support the day-to-day operational procurement activities of one of our U.S.-based clients.

This is a hands-on procurement operations role focused on purchase order management, vendor coordination, purchasing support, and procurement administration.

This position is best suited for someone who enjoys the operational side of Procurement and can effectively coordinate with vendors and internal stakeholders in a fast-paced, remote environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Create, manage, update, and close Purchase Orders (POs) within the procurement/ERP system.
• Manage order confirmations and follow up with vendors regarding order and delivery status.
• Support vendor onboarding, including the collection and maintenance of required documentation and vendor information.
• Process and coordinate PO changes, updates, and closures.
• Assist in resolving purchasing, PO, and invoice-related issues in coordination with vendors and internal teams.
• Communicate directly with suppliers via email and phone as needed.
• Collect vendor quotes and supporting purchasing documentation.
• Follow up with internal requestors to obtain missing or incomplete information.
• Maintain accurate procurement records, trackers, vendor information, and supporting documentation.
• Provide general administrative and operational support across purchasing and procurement workflows.
• Independently manage and prioritize a consistent volume of procurement requests while ensuring timely follow-up and completion.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated hands-on experience in Procurement or Purchasing operations, particularly supporting day-to-day purchasing activities and PO management.
• Strong practical experience with Purchase Order creation and management.
• Hands-on experience with vendor onboarding, vendor follow-up, and purchasing workflows.
• Experience resolving PO, purchasing, delivery, and/or invoice discrepancies.
• Strong hands-on experience using a procurement or ERP system is required.
• NetSuite experience is highly preferred. Candidates without NetSuite experience should have extensive hands-on experience with another widely used ERP or procurement platform such as SAP, Oracle, Coupa, Ariba, or similar.
• Experience with system-based procurement processes; the role requires more than primarily manual, Excel, or email-based purchasing processes.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to independently manage multiple requests and priorities.
• Strong communication and follow-up skills when working with both vendors and internal stakeholders.
• Professional English communication skills, including the ability to communicate directly with U.S.-based suppliers by phone and email.
• Availability to maintain meaningful working-hour overlap with U.S. Pacific Time.

Nice to Have

• Previous experience supporting a U.S.-based organization or suppliers.
• Experience working in a high-volume purchasing or procurement environment.
• NetSuite procurement/purchasing experience.
• Experience coordinating purchasing activities in a fully remote environment.

What We Offer

• Full-time contractor opportunity.
• Payment in USD.
• Long-term, ongoing assignment.
• Opportunity to work directly with a U.S.-based organization.
• Collaborative international work environment.
