Procurement & Vendor Management Expert

Overview

micro1 is seeking 20 Procurement & Vendor Management Experts to help design realistic, multi-step procurement tasks with objective grading criteria. The work is fully remote and is intended for experienced practitioners who can turn real procurement workflows into benchmark tasks that are difficult, realistic, and clearly gradable.

The role focuses on using domain expertise to create task materials that reflect real procurement and vendor management work. No prior AI experience is required, but strong English is needed.

What You'll Do

• Design multi-step tasks based on real procurement work, such as supplier assessment, bid comparison, vendor risk analysis, and contract review.
• Create clear grading criteria so different reviewers can reach the same conclusion on the same output.
• Build tasks that require careful judgment and reading of the provided materials, rather than simple lookup.
• Prepare or source supporting materials such as RFP responses, pricing schedules, contracts, SLAs, and risk assessments.
• Identify tasks that are ambiguous or not gradable and flag them instead of submitting unclear work.
• Deliver approved tasks on schedule and at the required quality level.

Who They're Looking For

• 5+ years of hands-on responsibility in procurement, sourcing, supplier assessment, or vendor management, with direct ownership of the work rather than supervisory-only experience.
• Experience creating or applying structured evaluation methods such as supplier scorecards, weighted bid criteria, vendor risk frameworks, or category strategies.
• Comfort working across contracts, spreadsheets, and reports at the same time.
• Strong written and spoken English, with B2 minimum and C1 preferred.
• CIPS, CPSM, or an equivalent certification is a plus, but not required.
• AI or LLM evaluation experience is a plus, but not required.
