About the role

Bowie State University seeks a Director of Procurement to lead daily Purchasing operations and ensure adherence to State and USM procurement policies. The role oversees contracts, requisitions, and POs, conducting complex negotiations and reporting for compliance. As the BSU liaison for Small and Minority Business Enterprise, you will engage stakeholders, develop procurement strategies, and drive timely delivery while training staff and aligning with the university's mission and DEI commitments.

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.
