Montgomery Personnel Board

The fundamental reason this classification exists is to oversee and manage the City's procurement processes, ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local regulations while optimizing procurement efficiency. The Senior Procurement Officer supports the Procurement Director by managing daily purchasing activities, leading complex procurement initiatives, and ensuring vendor contracts meet legal and financial requirements. This position provides guidance to procurement staff, facilitates competitive bidding processes, and collaborates with departments to meet purchasing needs. The role emphasizes operational oversight rather than high-level policy direction, focusing on implementation, contract management, and vendor relations. Work is performed under the general supervision of the Procurement Director.

Must have in-depth knowledge of federal, state, and local procurement regulations, including Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200). Strong analytical skills and the ability to implement procurement policies and procedures are required.
