About the role
Our procurement function is young, growing fast, and deliberately built to operate above its weight class. This is a team where early-career professionals get real exposure to complex commercial programs — and where strong performers move quickly. If you're looking for a place to learn procurement the right way, from the ground up, this is it.
The Procurement Analyst is a foundational role within Prime's Global Supply Chain & Procurement function, designed for a motivated early-career professional who wants to build deep procurement expertise from day one. You will support the operational and analytical engine of our procurement team — processing requisitions, coordinating vendor onboarding, assisting with contract administration, and helping to maintain the data and reporting infrastructure that keeps our programs running.
You will work directly alongside experienced procurement managers and directors, gaining hands-on exposure to OFCI equipment sourcing, supplier relationship management, and large-scale capital program execution. You won't be filing paperwork in a back office — you'll be embedded in the work, learning by doing, and growing into broader responsibilities as you develop your skills and commercial instincts.
