We are seeking a Senior Vendor Management Analyst to join our growing consulting team and support the delivery of vendor management services across multiple clients. This role is designed for an experienced analyst who can work independently and manage vendor-related activities with minimal oversight.
You’ll handle the full scope of vendor management functions — from onboarding and contract management to invoice reconciliation and performance tracking — while collaborating closely with Relationship Managers and clients. As a senior member of the team, you will also provide guidance to junior analysts and take on more complex issues and projects as needed.
This role is ideal for someone ready to take the next step beyond an Analyst role — managing more complex work, driving resolutions, and supporting clients with minimal guidance. You’ll gain exposure to a variety of industries and have the opportunity to grow into a future service lead or client-facing role.
Salary range is $70,000 – $80,000 annually (based on experience and location). Actual compensation is guided by various factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, and specific location. In addition, we offer a competitive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with a company match along with vacation and sick days.
