Procurement and Vendor Management Expert

You will turn practical procurement and vendor management judgment into benchmark tasks for evaluating AI systems. Your work will focus on realistic workflows, supplied business documents, and decisions that require interpretation rather than simple lookup.

• Design multi-step procurement tasks with clear instructions and realistic decision points.
• Create or source materials such as RFP responses, pricing schedules, contracts, service-level agreements, and risk assessments.
• Define objective grading criteria so qualified reviewers can reach the same verdict on an AI-generated output.
• Build exercises covering supplier assessment, bid comparison, vendor risk analysis, and contract review.
• Review tasks for ambiguity or weak grading logic, flag work that cannot be evaluated reliably, and deliver approved tasks on schedule.
