Procurement Operations Specialist TerraPower, LLC. is seeking a Procurement Operations Specialist to perform assigned duties including owning the department’s reporting cadence, maintaining procurement dashboards, and monitoring compliance with prime contract requirements and company policy.

Revise and maintain department policies and procedures ensuring compliance with prime contract requirements and company policy. Aggregate and report on supplier delivery performance and expediting activity across the portfolio, surfacing patterns of delay or non-performance to leadership. Track department-wide receipt and invoice reconciliation metrics (e.g., match-exception rates, aging) to identify process bottlenecks between Procurement, Accounts Payable, and Shipping/Receiving. Maintain department level tracking of supplier compliance documentation (e.g., COI currency rates) and flag systemic gaps. Own department record-keeping standards, ensuring procurement and subcontract files are maintained consistently and remain audit ready. Report on subcontract and purchase order closeout aging across the department, highlighting where closeout activity is lagging targets. Prepare procurement business reviews and management reporting packages summarizing department performance, risks, and improvement opportunities. Identify deficiencies or performance risks at a departmental or portfolio level that could jeopardize supplier delivery or contract compliance and escalate to Procurement leadership. Lead process-improvement initiatives to accelerate department cycle time and enhance supplier collaboration, partnering with Buyers and Contract Administrators on implementation.
