Supply Chain/Contract Management Professionals Needed

The strong labor market for Supply Chain / Procurement / Contract Management professionals continues.  Job responsibilities are changing with more emphases placed on performance and on managing the procurement process, including understanding the operating environments of departments using the service or commodity. Management is now expecting the Supply Chain professional to identify risk, develop a plan to minimize or eliminate risk and to locate sources of supply that will provide long-range value to the company. The Total Cost of Ownership concept is one of the most important factors in bid evaluations.  Managing the supply chain during and after the procurement is a responsibility placed on Supply Chain and Contracting professionals.

As would be expected, increased experience correlates strongly with higher salaries. Gains are greatest between novices and those with 5–9 years of experience, but then they begin to even out.

We are excited about the new career opportunities available to Procurement and Contract professionals.  Please contact us if you would like to learn more about the positions that are currently available.
