Procurement Specialist

The Procurement Specialist is responsible for managing procurement-eligible goods and services for Y-USA, with a focus on vendor sourcing, negotiation support, contract coordination, and ongoing vendor relationship management. This role supports the full lifecycle of vendor engagements subject to procurement—including intake, competitive sourcing, negotiation, contract execution, renewal management, and performance monitoring—while explicitly excluding grants, pass-through funding to Ys and Alliances, fair share refunds, and other non-procurement activity. The Procurement Specialist partners closely with Finance, Contract Administration, IT, Events, Legal, and functional leaders to ensure vendor relationships are well-managed, cost-effective, compliant, and aligned with organizational priorities.
