Description

Who we are

You know those big cities that still feel like small towns? Where everyone's friendly and helps each other out? That's like Grant Thornton.

Except here we're all professionals and there isn't a mayor or a general store.

What we're trying to say is that we're a large and growing professional services firm that still feels like a community.

We employ over 3000 people across Canada, and we truly care about our colleagues, our clients and the communities where we work and live.

That's what's most important to us. We're building a thriving organization that's purpose driven and still want to remember what your favourite milkshake flavour is.

As a Procurement Specialist your responsibilities will include:

Review, Negotiate and file agreements such as MSAs for SAAS and professional services contracts

Create PO's upon getting appropriate requisition approvals, and issue PO's, obtain PO confirmation and track PO status with the vendor

Assist with invoice and agreement discrepancy resolution with vendors and internal clients
Verify and modify requisitions to make sure tax code, delivery address, pricing and other conditions are in line with the Agreements and business requirements
Work with requesters to gather business requirements and obtain quotes from vendors
Provide assistance on sourcing activities, e.g. conduct market research and vendor due diligence for establishing sourcing strategy, execution of Non-Disclosure Agreements, etc.
Prepare, analyze and maintain reports and databases regarding procurementrelated activities and spend on goods and services
Assist and educate requisitioners with procurement processes and procedures

Take a proactive approach to duties and responsibilities, and provide suggestions for improvement to procurement process efficiency and effectiveness

Other duties as assigned and required

And when all this comes together, well that's when the magic happens
