Procurement Analytics Associate

Prologis • Charlotte, IA

3d • $79,000 - $125,000

About The Position

As a Procurement Analytics Associate at Prologis, you support construction sourcing and cost intelligence initiatives for industrial and logistics development projects across U.S. markets. In this analytics-focused role, you partner closely with Construction Sourcing, Development, and Procurement leaders to transform construction cost data into actionable insights that inform strategy, contractor engagement, and investment decisions. Your day centers on building clarity from complexity. You aggregate and structure bid data, market inputs, and supplier information to develop meaningful cost benchmarks, trend analysis, and reporting that guide sourcing and development decisions at the national, regional, and market levels. A core focus of the role is developing and maintaining Procurement-owned construction cost intelligence – analyzing major building components, total installed costs, and material/labor breakdowns to improve visibility and forecasting accuracy. You help translate raw data into dashboards, visualizations, and executive-ready insights that support both internal Construction Sourcing teams and Development stakeholders. You also partner with Construction Sourcing leadership to build and maintain a national General Con-tractor database, supporting preferred contractor strategies, performance tracking, and feedback loops across regions. While you will assist with RFP and bidding processes as needed, the role is primarily centered on analytics, reporting, and continuous improvement rather than direct bid management. Reporting to the Director of Procurement Operations & Analytics, you are a key contributor within the Global Procurement Organization. You are recognized for your analytical rigor, attention to detail, and ability to connect data to broader business objectives. You think beyond the numbers – identifying opportunities to strengthen cost transparency, improve processes, and drive strategic alignment across the organization.
