About The Position

The Sr. Analyst, IT Procurement leads and supports sourcing initiatives and contract negotiations for Subway's lower-spend, less-complex technology and vendor categories. This is not a tracking role — the Sr. Analyst runs competitive bid events, negotiates commercial terms directly with vendors, and owns contracts end-to-end for assigned categories, while partnering with senior sourcing leadership on larger or more complex deals. Reporting to the Director, Technology Sourcing & Procurement, this role is a strong seat for someone who wants real, hands-on negotiation experience with a clear growth path toward category or sourcing management in a Procurement function being built from the ground up.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in strategic sourcing, procurement, or contract negotiation; technology/IT category experience required.
Demonstrated experience independently negotiating and closing vendor agreements.
Comfortable drafting and redlining standard commercial contract terms, with sound judgment on when to involve Legal.
Working knowledge of the procurement lifecycle from sourcing strategy through contract execution; direct RFx leadership experience preferred.
Experience reading and interpreting vendor license, maintenance, and service agreements.
Proven track record of driving meaningful savings and service level improvements.
Proficiency with Excel and PowerPoint for negotiation prep, tracking, and business-ready presentations.
Experience with eSourcing, CLM, or spend analytics platforms.
Bachelor's degree in Technology, Engineering, Business, Supply Chain, or a related field (or equivalent work experience).

Nice To Haves

Experience with other indirect spend categories beyond IT (e.g., Professional Services, Contingent Workforce, Facilities).
CPM, CPSM, or equivalent procurement certification.
Familiarity with software asset management (SAM) or technology lifecycle management practices.
Experience in a QSR, Retail, CPG, or franchise environment.

Responsibilities

Lead or support sourcing initiatives for technology and other indirect categories from opportunity identification through supplier selection; run competitive bid events (RFPs/RFIs), building bid packages, evaluation criteria, and comparative analysis to support award recommendations.
Negotiate pricing, commercial terms, and service levels directly with vendors on assigned agreements; use market analysis and benchmarking to identify savings opportunities and inform category strategy; escalate higher-risk or higher-value negotiations to senior sourcing leadership.
Draft, review, and redline standard vendor agreements, statements of work, and amendments for assigned categories; partner with Legal on nonstandard or higher-risk terms; serve as the point of contact between internal business stakeholders and vendors throughout contract development and negotiation.
Track contractual compliance and flag potential risk from contract or scope changes; prepare negotiation and contract status updates for management; maintain license compliance tracking, contract renewal/expiration records, and vendor certification deadlines, flagging risk before it becomes a lapse in coverage.
Track, measure, and report on vendor service performance through periodic reviews with key stakeholders, monitoring KPIs and SLA compliance; build strong working relationships with business stakeholders to understand demand and align sourcing strategy with business priorities; support demand management and identify opportunities for spend consolidation or standardization within assigned categories.
