Episode 2: Why Does It Always Look Like Procurement Professionals Are Overworked?

From the outside, it can seem like procurement is just about raising POs and negotiating prices. But anyone who’s been in the seat knows better. Procurement sits at the crossroads of urgency, accountability, and risk. We manage tight timelines, multiple stakeholders, compliance requirements, supplier performance, and cost pressures—often all at once. Add to that: • Last-minute requests labeled “urgent” • Limited resources and lean teams • Ever-changing market conditions • High expectations, low visibility when things go right The truth is that procurement doesn’t just support operations — it holds them together. So, when procurement professionals look stretched, it’s often because they are carrying far more than what shows on a job title. In this podcast, we unpacked: • Why procurement workloads keep increasing • The hidden responsibilities people don’t talk about • And what organizations can do to support procurement teams better If you’ve ever worked in or with procurement, this conversation will sound very familiar.
