Whether you prefer working from a bustling city hub or a quiet home office, we enable our teams to thrive from anywhere while staying deeply connected through our strong collaborative culture. Hey there, I’m _, the Operations Manager here at WebPros, and your hiring manager. I’ve grown with this company over the last 8 years, starting in a role focused on supporting teams, and gradually taking on broader responsibilities across business operations. That journey has shaped how I lead today: with a deep appreciation for the behind-the-scenes work that enables others to thrive. What excites me most about leading the Operations team is being able to create structure in our growing organization and empowering others to operate with clarity and confidence. Your Role The Operations team supports internal processes across the company, and we’re looking for a detail-oriented, organized, and resourceful Procurement Specialist to support procurement. This role ensures that purchasing workflows run smoothly from request to approval, and stakeholders across the organization get the tools and services they need with full compliance and accountability. Below, you’ll find everything you need to decide if this role is right for you. From our culture and work style to the specifics of the position and hiring process. We believe in transparency, so we’ve put in the effort to give you a real, inside look at what it’s like to work here. Your Impact in the First 180 Days: We don’t believe in endless checklists of requirements. Instead, here’s what success looks like in your first 6 months: • 30 Days:, • Get fully onboarded with our internal tools (e.g. Confluence, Jira, Slack, shared folders), • Familiarize yourself with current procurement and vendor coordination processes, • Meet key cross-functional stakeholders involved in procurement (Finance, Accounting, Legal, Engineering, etc.), • Shadow live procurement cases and observe internal review and approval steps, • 60 Days:, • Begin managing smaller procurement requests independently with little oversight, • Establish working rhythms with Accounting, Legal, and stakeholders, • Identify opportunities to improve the flow of communication and clarity in handoffs, • 120 Days:, • Confidently support complex procurement requests by coordinating between teams, and tracking progress in Jira., • Provide feedback on internal workflows based on real cases, especially where gaps or ambiguities affect turnaround., • Assist with maintaining procurement documentation and updating stakeholders on evolving best practices, • 180 Days:, • Act as a reliable coordination partner for procurement workflows, ensuring vendors are supported and internal processes are followed., • Champion consistent usage of internal tools and guidance, helping stakeholders engage the system effectively., • Collaborate with the Operations team to support future improvements or scale processes as needed.

As volume or complexity increases, you’ll help shape scalable practices that make procurement more accessible and efficient for stakeholders. By 180 days, I expect the individual in this role to be known as the primary procurement resource for US agreements.
