About The Position

LTK is seeking an experienced Procurement Manager on a contract basis to provide coverage while a key member of our Procurement function is on leave. This role will help ensure continuity across technology and SaaS procurement, contract renewals, vendor relationships, and related cross-functional activities.
The ideal candidate can quickly learn existing processes, independently manage multiple procurement priorities, and collaborate effectively with Finance, IT, Security, Legal, Privacy, budget owners, and other stakeholders. The contractor will receive training before the leave begins and will support a structured transition of responsibilities when the employee returns.
This position is primarily focused on maintaining business continuity and executing established Procurement responsibilities. Opportunities to recommend practical process improvements may arise, but building a new procurement function is not the primary purpose of the engagement.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Supply Chain Management, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
• At least 2+ years of procurement experience, preferably including experience operating independently in a procurement or equivalent role (buyer, etc.).
• Demonstrated experience negotiating technology and SaaS contracts.
• Strong vendor-management and stakeholder-management skills.
• Experience managing contract renewals, procurement workflows, and competing deadlines.
• Working knowledge of procurement practices and commercial contract terms.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving abilities.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to quickly learn existing processes and become productive within a limited transition period.
• Experience with procurement or contract-management platforms such as Ironclad or equivalent software.
• Ability to recognize matters requiring review by Finance, Legal, Security, Privacy, or organizational leadership.

Nice To Haves

• Experience supporting IT or technology procurement is strongly preferred.
• Experience with major technology providers, such as Amazon Web Services, is beneficial.

Responsibilities

• Assume responsibility for designated Procurement activities during the employee’s leave, maintaining service levels and ensuring requests, agreements, and renewals continue to progress.
• Track upcoming renewals, coordinate with business owners and internal review teams, and complete renewal activities on time and under favorable terms.
• Lead or support negotiations for technology-focused and SaaS agreements, including pricing, commercial terms, renewal protections, and service commitments.
• Partner with Finance, IT, Security, Legal, Privacy, budget owners, and other stakeholders to move procurement requests through the appropriate review and approval processes.
• Serve as a primary point of contact for designated vendors, manage follow-ups, address commercial questions, and help ensure vendors meet agreed-upon commitments.
• Maintain accurate and current records of procurement requests, contract status, renewal dates, decisions, approvals, and next steps.
• Support vendor evaluations and competitive sourcing activities, including reviewing proposals and coordinating input from relevant stakeholders.
• Review SaaS purchases and renewals for potential duplication, utilization concerns, consolidation opportunities, and alignment with business needs.
• Identify reasonable opportunities to reduce costs, avoid unnecessary increases, and maximize value while preserving operational requirements.
• Promptly escalate material contractual, financial, legal, security, privacy, or operational risks to the appropriate LTK stakeholder.
• Participate in structured training before assuming the role’s responsibilities and provide complete documentation and status updates when transitioning the work back to the returning employee.
