  • Support supplier qualification and onboarding for indirect vendors, ensuring compliance with Shield AI’s standards and policies.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to forecast indirect procurement needs and identify opportunities for process or cost improvements.
  • Partner with finance and stakeholders to reconcile invoices, resolve discrepancies, and ensure timely payment.
  • Support implementation of standard work and best practices for indirect procurement processes.
  • 2+ years of experience in procurement, supply chain, or sourcing, with a focus on indirect categories such as facilities, IT, software, or capital equipment.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple priorities and high-volume transactional work while maintaining attention to detail.
  • Strong negotiation, analytical, and organizational skills.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
  • Experience with ERP systems (Deltek Costpoint preferred).
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills to partner effectively with internal teams and suppliers.
  • Experience in aerospace, defense, or high-tech manufacturing environments.
  • Knowledge of FAR/DFARS or other compliance-driven procurement practices.
  • Background in sourcing or managing suppliers for capital equipment, production tooling, or IT infrastructure.
