• Evaluate and recommend new platforms and technology to support procurement operations
• Build out the structure and, over time, the team supporting the procurement function

• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, with the ability to work across departments and with executive leadership
• Experience with AppFolio a plus
• Familiarity with insurance program management, CapEx tracking, and vendor/contract administration
