Location: Toronto, ON (Hybrid / Flexible)

A leading professional services organization is seeking an experienced procurement professional to take ownership of a growing procurement function and help shape how procurement operates across the organization.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who brings strong procurement expertise but is also comfortable being hands‑on. Rather than stepping into a highly established procurement environment with rigid processes already in place, this role will allow you to build on an existing foundation, introduce structure and best practices, and help develop the function as the organization continues to grow.

You will work closely with senior leadership and stakeholders across the organization, providing visibility into vendors, contracts, spend, renewals, negotiations, and procurement opportunities.

The ideal candidate will bring a robust understanding of procurement best practices, but equally important is the ability to adapt those practices to a professional services environment. This is an opportunity for someone with a business‑minded approach who can identify opportunities, provide recommendations, and build consensus without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.
