A non-exhaustive list of the things we're pro: productivity, produce, proficiency, protractors (just us?), pro-blem solving, and procurement. Coincidentally, we are looking for a proactive procurement specialist to join our team of prolific professionals. What we'd love to know is: on a scale of 1 to "pro," how do you fit the bill? We're looking for a spritely individual who's detail-oriented, passionate about sourcing the best of the best, and fosters evergreen relationships everywhere you go.

• You've got a curious and results-driven mindset.
• You're an excellent negotiator with in-depth knowledge of supply chain structures.
• 'Highly motivated with the ability to multitask' is either your bio on LinkedIn, or a sticky note on your mirror that you read to yourself every morning.
• You demonstrate effective communication skills to manage multiple stakeholders.
• You're a team player with the ability to also work independently to meet fixed deadlines, goals and objectives.
• Your mom, friends, family, and unbiased strangers would all agree that you're a 'cool cat' that inserts fun into every task, activity, and conversation.
