ROLE OVERVIEW
The Skilled Services Procurement Analyst runs the purchase-order path for services rather than goods: consulting, contingent labour, integration work, maintenance and support engagements. The role receives the request, validates that the money and the supplier are in order before anything is committed, raises the requisition, drives it through approval, and keeps the resulting order and its accruals accurate until the work is invoiced and closed.
In this role, you will lead the purchase-order lifecycle for professional services, including consulting, contingent labor, and project-based engagements. Unlike hardware procurement, which relies on physical goods receipts, services purchasing requires precision in managing milestones, rate cards, and time-based billing. Because service costs are recognized through general ledger and cost-centre allocations, your meticulous attention to coding, budget, and commercial terms serves as the primary financial control, ensuring accuracy before costs are finalized at month-end.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Request Intake & Validation




• Collect professional services purchase-order requests, review each for completeness, and follow up with the requester where information is missing rather than raising an incomplete requisition.
• Validate budget availability, supplier eligibility and compliance status before any commitment is created.
• Confirm general ledger account, cost centre and spend category coding are correct for services spend, since this determines how the cost is recognised.
• Check that the commercial basis is clear — fixed price, milestone, rate card or time and materials — and that the supporting statement of work or quote supports the value requested.
• Identify requests that are not in fact services purchasing and route them to the correct path.

2. Requisition Creation & Approval Tracking
• Create the purchase requisition in the procurement system with complete, accurate detail and correct supplier a
