Job Description Summary:

Schedule: Hybrid, 3 days on-site
This is a temporary position supporting the Procurement Department. Provides administrative and operational support to the department, drawing on prior procurement/ERP system experience to work independently with minimal supervision. Exercises sound judgment and experience to plan, prioritize, and accomplish goals within the scope of the role.

  • Notify requesters of back-orders and unavailable items, and identify alternate sources whenever possible.
  • Expedite late deliveries and proactively update requesters on shipping timelines and order status.
  • Serve as a responsive, customer-service-oriented point of contact for researchers and staff, ensuring a positive experience when navigating procurement processes.
  • Provide administrative and operational support to Procurement Services staff and the Procurement Director as needed.
  • Strong ability and initiative to learn new systems, tools, and processes quickly, given the temporary nature of the assignment.
  • Other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

  • BS/BA preferred.
  • 3-5 years of relevant procurement, purchasing, or supply chain experience (hospital, educational, or science setting preferred).
  • 3-5 years of hands-on ERP experience, with Workday, Jaggaer, or a similar eProcurement system strongly preferred; comfort learning and adapting to new systems is essential.
  • Experience expediting late orders and resolving order discrepancies.
  • Strong customer-service orientation, with a demonstrated ability to build positive working relationships across all levels of an organization.
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to prioritize work, manage multiple projects, and set and meet deadlines.
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision, relying on sound judgment and experience to plan and accomplish goals.
  • Strong written and oral communication skills, including the ability to communicate effectively with people at all levels within the Institute.
  • Excellent computer skills, including Gmail and Excel; familiarity with ERP/eProcurement systems (Workday, Jaggaer, or similar) a strong plus.
  • Adaptable, proactive, and eager to learn in a dynamic, fast-paced lab-supply environment; comfortable ramping up quickly in a temporary assignment.
