Purchasing Estimating Manager Jobs in Colorado (NOW HIRING)

Responsibilities
The Purchasing Manager, Supplier Management is responsible for Procurement ownership of supplier intake, supplier onboarding coordination, Oracle Supplier Portal registration, and procurement-owned supplier data integrity. This role serves as the first reviewer for supplier requests submitted to Procurement, ensuring requests are complete, appropriately justified, aligned to purchasing and sourcing needs, and routed through the correct approval and handoff process.
Reporting to the Director, Procurement Operations, this role supports the Oracle Procure-to-Pay ecosystem by strengthening supplier onboarding governance, improving supplier portal adoption, maintaining procurement-owned supplier attributes, and partnering closely with Accounts Payable, Finance, Compliance, Strategic Sourcing, and internal business stakeholders. Accounts Payable remains the owner of payment, tax, banking, remit-to, and legal entity validation data; this role coordinates with AP to ensure a seamless supplier setup and maintenance experience without duplicating AP-owned responsibilities.
As supplier onboarding moves under Procurement Operations, this position will initially support a higher volume of supplier registration and current-supplier portal enablement activities. As the Supplier Portal rollout stabilizes, the role will continue to balance supplier management responsibilities with purchase order support, purchasing inbox resolution, and other Procurement Operations activities that improve PO adoption, user experience, and process compliance.
