About this role

<p>Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.</p>

<p><u>OUR MISSION</u></p>

<p>True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.</p>

<p><u>OUR VALUES</u></p>

<ul>

<li><strong>Be the offset.</strong>&nbsp;We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.</li>

<li><strong>What would it take?</strong>&nbsp;We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.</li>

<li><strong>It’s the people.</strong>&nbsp;Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.</li>

</ul><p><u>YOUR MISSION</u></p>

<p>As a Procurement Specialist at True Anomaly, you will own the day-to-day execution of indirect procurement — sourcing the services, tools, facilities, and operational goods that keep our teams moving. You will manage the full purchase-to-pay cycle, handle vendor relationships, and solve the supply problems that pop up without warning. This is a tactical, execution-focused role for someone who is organized, resourceful, and energized by getting things done quickly and correctly in a fast-moving environment.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>RESPONSIBILITIES</strong></p>

<ul>

<li>Execute the full&nbsp;procure-to-pay process: intake requests, issue RFQs, evaluate bids, issue purchase orders, and confirm delivery and invoicing</li>

<li>Maintain an active vendor list for indirect categories, ensuring competitive options are available when needs arise</li>

<li>Track open purchase orders and proactively follow up with vendors to ensure on-time delivery</li>

<li>Support contract administration for indirect agreements — NDAs, MSAs, SOWs — coordinating with legal as needed</li>

<li>Serve as the day-to-day point of contact for indirect vendors, managing performance expectations and resolving delivery, quality, or invoicing issues quickly</li>

<li>Identify and qualify new vendors when existing suppliers cannot meet requirements on cost, lead time, or capability</li>

<li>Escalate and resolve vendor disputes, short shipments, and invoice discrepancies without letting issues linger</li>

<li>Maintain accurate procurement records — POs, quotes, contracts, and receipts — in the procurement system of record</li>

<li>Support compliance with FAR, DFARS, and ITAR requirements as they apply to indirect procurement activities.</li>

<li>Identify repetitive or manual procurement tasks and recommend process improvements to reduce cycle time</li>

<li>Communicate clearly on delivery status, vendor issues, and cost variances so internal stakeholders are never left guessing&nbsp;</li>

</ul>

<p><strong>QUALIFICATIONS</strong></p>

<ul>

<li>3–6 years of procurement or&nbsp;purchasing&nbsp;experience, with meaningful exposure to indirect spend categories</li>

<li>Hands-on experience executing the full procure-to-pay process, including issuing RFQs, evaluating quotes, and managing POs</li>

<li>Strong vendor management skills — comfortable holding suppliers accountable and resolving disputes directly</li>

<li>Highly organized with the ability to manage a high volume of open orders and competing priorities simultaneously</li>

<li>Familiarity with procurement or ERP systems (e.g., Coupa, SAP, NetSuite, or similar)</li>

<li>Clear communicator who keeps stakeholders informed without being asked&nbsp;</li>

</ul>
