The Senior Procurement Specialist is responsible for leading teams of clients to procure medium to high dollar services (general, information technology, and construction related) where the value, risk and complexity often require multiple bids.

The Senior Procurement Specialist delivers procurement services that add value to the AGLC and that enable the achievement of business objectives while demonstrating excellence, fairness, integrity, openness and transparency in all aspects of their work.

The Senior Procurement Specialist’s responsibilities include procurement delivery, stakeholder relationships, and contract and vendor performance management. The Senior Procurement Specialist also supports the Manager in policy and process development and in planning and coordination.

The successful candidate will require the ability to analyze ambiguous information and apply creative, critical thinking skills and professional judgment to resolve problems. The ability to work independently, effectively prioritize and plan multiple projects, and to lead teams of clients is key in this role.
