About the role
As a CBRE Procurement Executive, you will design, evaluate, and provide complex reports based on the collection of data related to the sourcing, contracting, management, and performance of suppliers and vendors.
Responsibilities
- Account & Supplier Transition Support
- Support the Division Procurement Lead with supplier transitions for newly onboarded CBRE accounts — helping align client supplier needs with CBRE's approved vendor network and assigning account-specific work to preferred suppliers.
- Coordinate handoff to contract support and account leads once the transition is complete.
- Serve as a procurement resource to account managers and local account leaders who own their P&L but need procurement expertise to execute.
- Cost Savings & Sourcing
- Proactively identify and execute cost savings opportunities across the account portfolio — including supplier consolidation, renegotiation, and RFP-driven competitive sourcing.
- Lead RFP processes end-to-end: scope definition, bid solicitation, proposal evaluation, and award recommendation.
- Conduct market and supplier analysis to benchmark pricing and service levels.
- Supplier Management & Reporting
- Oversee supplier performance tracking using CBRE's supplier management tools — including scorecards, satisfaction surveys, KPIs, and escalation management.
- Serve as a day-to-day resource for account teams on supplier issues, onboarding, and compliance.
- Design, generate, and present reports on supplier performance, spend, and sourcing outcomes for internal stakeholders.
- Maintain data integrity across procurement databases; collect and rationalize data from multiple sources.
- Tactical Procurement Support
- Handle tactical procurement needs that fall outside account team capacity — acting as a support resource for the Division Procurement Lead.
- Support supplier onboarding, contract renewals, and managed procurement activities including negotiation support.
- Review forecasts, investigate trends, and make strategic recommendations to the business.
Requirements
- Bachelor's Degree preferred with 2-5 years of relevant experience. In lieu of a degree, a combination of experience and education will be considered.
- Ability to analyze possible solutions using technical experience to apply appropriate judgment and precedents.
- In-depth knowledge of Microsoft Office products (Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.).
- Strong organizational skills with an inquisitive mindset.
- Experience in indirect procurement, specifically facilities management — janitorial, maintenance trades, or similar service categories.
- Demonstrated ability to manage supplier relationships, lead RFPs, and negotiate contracts independently.
- Strong analytical skills: ability to build and present data-driven reports, conduct financial analysis, and identify cost savings opportunities.
- Ability to work fully remote and autonomously — this role requires strong self-direction with minimal day-to-day oversight.
- Availability during core business hours across PST time zones.
- Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States without the need for visa sponsorship now or in the future.
