Key Responsibilities
Category Management: Direct strategic sourcing for lab spend, including reagents, chemicals, consumables, scientific capital equipment, specialized service/maintenance agreements, and niche vendors.
Complex RFx Execution: Lead end-to-end, defensible RFQ/RFP processes—from scope definition, timeline creation, and addenda management to evaluation scoring, award documentation, and supplier debriefs.
Technical Requirement Development: Partner with faculty, technologists, and researchers to translate complex scientific needs into clear, function-based specifications that balance budget, lead times, quality, and technical compatibility.
Compliance & Governance: Ensure all sourcing activities are audit-ready, transparent, and fully compliant with public-sector rules and applicable trade agreements.
Commercial Negotiation & SLA Management: Negotiate optimal pricing, rebate/discount structures, warranties, and delivery terms. Track vendor performance using SLAs and KPIs (e.g., uptime and response commitments).
Value & Risk Analytics: Conduct TCO analyses factoring in maintenance, consumables, training, calibration, and installation costs to deliver qualitative scoring and risk-informed recommendations.
Qualifications & Screening Criteria
Experience: 5+ years of strategic procurement experience, ideally at a Senior Buyer level within higher education, scientific research, healthcare, or public-sector environments.
Category Expertise: Deep domain knowledge in scientific, laboratory, and research equipment and consumables.
RFx Mastery: Track record of driving complex, high-value public solicitation processes from inception to contract execution.
Stakeholder Management: Exceptional communication skills with a proven ability to advise and guide academic and technical stakeholders with minimal supervision.
