Procurement & Contracts Manager

Opportunity Overview

Handshake is looking for experienced procurement, contracts, and construction sourcing professionals to support AI research through flexible, part-time contract work. This is not a traditional job — you'll draw on your hands-on expertise in spend analytics, contract management, and construction procurement to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand real-world procurement and sourcing workflows.

This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside your current work.

What You'll Do

Use your domain expertise to create expert-level training questions and scenarios based on real procurement analytics, contract management, and construction sourcing workflows

Review and evaluate AI-generated responses for accuracy and relevance to real-world spend management and procurement practices

Provide structured written feedback to help improve AI model performance

Complete tasks at your own pace with no set schedule or minimum hour requirement

Qualifications

5+ years of professional experience in procurement, contract management, or construction sourcing, in a role such as Spend Analyst, Procurement Analytics Manager, Contracts Administrator, Contract Manager, Construction Procurement Manager, Preconstruction Manager, Bid Coordinator, or Estimator

Hands-on experience with workflows such as spend analysis, savings tracking, contract administration, or construction bid management

Familiarity with DocuSign, BuildingConnected, Sievo, Snowflake, or similar procurement and contract management platforms

Strong written communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment
