The Procurement Manager is a broad, hands-on procurement professional responsible for leading sourcing, negotiation, contracting, supplier management, and other procurement initiatives across a diverse range of categories. This role partners directly with business leaders, Finance, Legal, and other stakeholders to evaluate commercial opportunities, negotiate favorable outcomes, manage supplier relationships, and improve how the organization purchases goods and services. In addition to core procurement responsibilities, this role will coordinate the organization’s corporate insurance program, partnering with internal stakeholders, brokers, carriers, and other external partners on renewals, coverage administration, certificates of insurance, claims coordination, and related risk-management activities.
