Role overview

What does a Procurement Specialist do?

Every dollar saved in procurement goes straight to your bottom line. Marco's Procurement Specialists manage the full purchasing lifecycle—from supplier research and RFP management to contract negotiation and spend analysis. They help growing companies build vendor relationships that deliver better pricing, faster delivery, and more reliable quality.

What does a remote procurement specialist do? They source and evaluate suppliers, manage RFP/RFQ processes, negotiate contracts and payment terms, track purchase orders from requisition to delivery, analyze spend data for cost reduction opportunities, maintain vendor scorecards, and ensure compliance with procurement policies. A remote procurement specialist costs $1,000–$1,500/month through Marco versus $5,500/month for a U.S.-based procurement professional.
