Procurement Analyst
Recent global events have made cost-effective purchasing an overnight imperative at nearly every company, but disruption in the procurement space is seriously lagging. Tropic is on a mission to transform procurement for a world that runs on software. Everyone hates buying B2B SaaS, so we are automating the process.
At the core of our solution is a mission critical service. The Procurement Analyst is the face of Tropic in the field. If you’d like to develop expert negotiation skills and get a seat on a rocket ship with lots of mobility opportunities, this is the role for you. As a Procurement Analyst, you will own strategic software purchases and renewals for our customers to ensure the best financial outcome on every contract. After a few months at Tropic, you’ll see hundreds of software negotiations and build an unrivaled toolkit. The ideal candidate is a top-performer hungry for a fast pace and a new challenge.
As Procurement Analyst, you will:
- Close deals on behalf of our clients to secure the tools they need at the best price
- Negotiate enterprise agreements directly with software vendors to maximize savings for our clients
- Work collaboratively with client leadership teams to align on their requirements
- Become an expert on a variety of software contract structures leveraging internal and external data
