The Professional Services Procurement Analyst runs the purchase-order path for services rather than goods: consulting, contingent labour, integration work, maintenance and support engagements. The role receives the request, validates that the money and the supplier are in order before anything is committed, raises the requisition, drives it through approval, and keeps the resulting order and its accruals accurate until the work is invoiced and closed.
In this role, you will lead the purchase-order lifecycle for professional services, including consulting, contingent labor, and project-based engagements. Unlike hardware procurement, which relies on physical goods receipts, services purchasing requires precision in managing milestones, rate cards, and time-based billing. Because service costs are recognized through general ledger and cost-centre allocations, your meticulous attention to coding, budget, and commercial terms serves as the primary financial control, ensuring accuracy before costs are finalized at month-end.
