About the role

UC Irvine is seeking a seasoned procurement leader to guide a 25-person team and oversee sourcing, contracting, procurement card programs, asset management, and strategic initiatives. You will manage the annual budget and advise campus leadership on procurement strategy. You will drive complex negotiations, optimize supplier relationships, and ensure UC policies compliance while advancing sustainability and small business programs.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
