And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

We are looking for a Procurement Ops Specialist to support the data center construction space supporting various categories. As a Procurement Ops Specialist, you will work closely with the procurement category managers in creating and supporting Vendor qualifications, request for proposals, vendor performance dashboards for construction, professional services, engineering and related categories.

To be successful in this role, you must be highly analytical; think practically; have a sense of urgency to meet internal customer timelines; exhibit curiosity and learning drive, succeed in a fast-paced environment; engage key stakeholders where needed; and have a high level of focus. Also, you must have a demonstrated track record of managing multiple projects and driving them to completion to meet business objectives.
