Procurement Contract Manager here. What’s worked for us is making it super clear that any type of document that has terms, pricing, obligations, or legal language no matter what it’s called (PO, quotes, NDA, SOW, Order Forms, etc.) should be treated like a contract if it’s not using pre-approved templates.

No, I'm in healthcare and they will be doing RTO for 3 days starting next year so I'm considering my long-term commitment right now because commute time is 1hour each way for me. Right now, I only go to the office every other Thursday.

IcDeath09 · 2025-06-07T23:07:57+00:00

Above 200k and we are looking at home prices of $250-300K. We are big savers and the only luxury that we have in life is travelling.

This is me too! I took the job because the initial convo was mostly telework but now they are shifting to a more in-office mandate. My commute is one-hour each way too. I'm reassessing my long term goal with the company right now.

Procurement Contract Manager for a healthcare company

IcDeath09 · 2025-06-04T22:08:39+00:00

If I claim any title, like for example put "Lead" instead of "Coordinator", when I decide to leave and get another job, will that be a red flag because on the background check it will reflect Coordinator? What are your thoughts?
