Procurement Analyst

Novo•New York, NY

2d•$70,000 - $100,000

About The Position

We're looking for a Procurement Analyst to own the day-to-day operations of Novo's third-party risk management (TPRM) and procurement process end to end. You'll be the person who keeps every vendor request moving, chasing down documents, following up with stakeholders, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks between Legal, InfoSec, Compliance, and the business teams who requested the vendor in the first place. This is a hands-on, individual contributor role for someone who's comfortable being the connective tissue across a lot of moving parts. You'll take full ownership of the Zip platform and the vendor lifecycle it manages, freeing up Finance to focus on strategic analysis rather than day-to-day process management.

Requirements

1–3 years of experience in procurement, vendor management, sourcing, or a related operations role
Strong organizational skills and comfort managing a high volume of concurrent requests with competing deadlines
Clear written and verbal communication; comfortable proactively chasing internal stakeholders and external vendor contacts to keep requests moving
Proficiency with spreadsheets
A self-starter mentality: comfortable driving process with minimal oversight
Sharp attention to detail across contract terms, vendor documentation, and Zip records.

Nice To Haves

experience with procurement/vendor management platforms (e.g., Zip, Coupa, Ironclad)

Keep due diligence moving
Review new contracts/order forms for accuracy (cost, agreement type, legal entity) and run adverse media checks before routing for review

Confirm the correct expense/procurement tagging category for each request
Drive approvals to the finish line
Chase internal stakeholders (Legal, InfoSec, Compliance, ELT) via Zip and the TPRM Slack channel to keep reviews and approvals moving, and follow up on any findings that need resolution
Follow up with ELT/CEO to secure and log required approvals in Zip
Coordinate contract execution, including routing agreements for signature via DocuSign, and retain fully executed agreements in Zip
Partner cross-functionally
Work with FP&A to make sure cost details are accurate and ready for Finance's review and approval (Initial/Final FP&A Review remain owned by Finance)
Partner with Deal Sponsors and business stakeholders across departments to gather scope-of-work and data-access details
Communicate procurement status and blockers clearly to stakeholders outside of procurement.
