3. Establish and maintain scalable procurement, vendor-governance, and record-management processes; prepare reports and recommendations that clearly communicate purchasing, financial, contractual, and operational considerations to technical and business stakeholders.
4. Identify and implement savings, cost-avoidance, and spend-optimization opportunities through negotiations, demand management, supplier consolidation, license-utilization analysis, and improved purchasing controls.

8. Manage end-to-end technology purchasing activities, including requisitions, competitive sourcing, approvals, purchase orders, receiving coordination, records, and compliance with established purchasing policies and controls.
9. Use procurement analytics, workflow automation, and approved AI-enabled tools to improve purchasing-cycle efficiency, strengthen spend and renewal visibility, identify software-license utilization opportunities, and reduce manual administrative work.

6. Strong analytical, negotiation, organizational, communication, and customer-service skills; ability to exercise sound judgment with financial, vendor, and contractual information.
