About the role
We are looking for a Procurement Specialist to join a team in Secaucus, New Jersey in a contract to potential permanent capacity. This position focuses on shaping market-level sourcing plans, strengthening supplier partnerships, and supporting procurement operations that align with business goals. The role works closely with construction, facilities, legal, and cross-functional stakeholders to improve purchasing practices, maintain documentation, and drive consistent vendor performance.
Responsibilities:
Develop and roll out procurement plans for the assigned market in partnership with construction and facilities teams at both market and broader organizational levels.

Maintain procurement documents, agreement forms, and working templates, using Excel and related tools to support consistency and accuracy. Prepare, revise, and standardize procurement documentation in collaboration with legal partners and internal stakeholders. Serve as a procurement resource across the organization by advising teams on sourcing practices, supplier engagement, and negotiation approaches. Represent the market in procurement discussions, share updated guidelines, and help train teams on purchasing and supplier management practices.
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.
