Description

Company Overview

At Procure Analytics, we are passionate about driving continuous value by utilizing cutting-edge technology and implementing customized solutions in MRO, Packaging, and Freight to service our 1000+ member companies. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, Procure Analytics is the leading tech-enabled group purchasing organization for MRO and Packaging, leveraging $2.5B+ in buying power to achieve up-front and ongoing savings for member companies.

Procure Analytics was founded to address the complex challenges of a frequently ignored indirect spend category – Maintenance, Repair and Operations Supplies (MRO). From here PA listened to our members requirements and expanded into Packaging in 2014, and into Freight in 2022. The PA team serves as an extension of our member organizations, leading change management, driving adoption, and increasing compliance at member locations, while providing analytical tools, savings reporting, and buyer training to drive continuous value growth for mid-size to Fortune 500 companies.

Procure Analytics has a very collaborative, humble, and values-driven culture that upholds these guiding principles:

· Act with integrity and in compliance

· Drive value creation

· Be disciplined entrepreneurs

· Be innovative

· Be accountable

· Treat others with dignity and respect

Strong Private Equity Ownership

Recently acquired by Genstar Capital, Procure Analytics is growing rapidly and we’re looking for a dynamic Member Advisor. Genstar Capital invested in PA, along with a large rollover from Bregal Sagemount and the management team. Genstar Capital is a leading private equity firm that has been actively investing in high quality companies for over 30 years. Based in San Francisco, Genstar has developed a strong market reputation of working in partnership with management teams and its network of strategic advisors to build industry-leading businesses while generating outsized returns. Genstar’s vision is to help build lasting, impactful companies that will continue to succeed well beyond their ownership.

Genstar currently has approximately $33 billion of assets under management and targets investments focused on targeted segments of the software, industrials, healthcare, and financial services industries. In 2020, Genstar was ranked 2nd worldwide in aggregate private equity fund performance (out of 529 PE firms) and ranked 3rd in 2019 (out of 497 PE firms) by HEC-Dow Jones.
