Junior IT Procurement Analyst, Mahindra World City, Jaipur
There's a Junior IT Procurement Analyst opening in Mahindra World City, full-time and on-site, paying up to ₹41,500 a month. It's a fresher-friendly role, no prior professional experience required, built for someone who wants a first real job in the business side of IT rather than writing code.
The work sits at the point where technology decisions meet actual purchasing, tracking what hardware and software the company needs, getting quotes from vendors, and making sure the paperwork behind every purchase actually holds up later when someone asks why a particular vendor was chosen.
IT procurement rarely gets much attention until a purchase goes wrong, a vendor delivers late, a contract renews at a price nobody approved, or a warranty claim gets denied because the paperwork was never filed properly. Getting good at this job means preventing those moments rather than reacting to them after the fact.
What the day-to-day looks like
- Collect requirements from IT and other departments for hardware, software, and service purchases
- Request quotes from vendors and put together comparisons that make the decision easy for whoever signs off
- Track purchase orders from request through delivery, following up when something's stuck or delayed
- Maintain vendor records and contract documentation so renewals don't get missed and pricing history is easy to check
- Support vendor evaluation and negotiation conversations alongside more senior procurement staff
A lot of the job is quietly preventing problems before they happen. A software license that auto-renews at a bad rate because nobody tracked the renewal date, or a vendor who gets picked without anyone actually checking whether their last delivery was late- these are the kinds of small gaps a careful procurement analyst catches before they turn into a bigger headache.
Not every purchase is routine either. Occasionally a request comes in for something unusual, specialized hardware for a one-off project, a vendor nobody's worked with before, and figuring out how to evaluate that fairly without an existing template to follow is where the job gets genuinely interesting rather than repetitive.
Who this role is for
A bachelor's degree is the standard requirement, and it doesn't need to be a technical one specifically; business, commerce, or a related field all work here, since the role leans more on organization and vendor communication than programming. Since this is an entry-level position, no prior work experience is expected, though any internship or coursework related to procurement, supply chain, or business operations is helpful.
The one-year experience figure mentioned in the listing reflects the entry-level nature of the role rather than a strict cutoff, and freshers applying straight out of a degree program are very much within scope for this posting, not just a technical formality.
Naukri Mitra has flagged growing interest in procurement-focused roles across Jaipur's IT sector, as more companies build out dedicated purchasing functions instead of leaving vendor management to whichever engineer has time for it.
Skills that matter here
- Basic understanding of procurement processes, requests, quotes, purchase orders, even from academic exposure
- Comfort managing vendor relationships professionally, including some negotiation
- Strong documentation habits, since procurement records get referenced long after the original purchase is forgotten
A step ahead of other applicants
Familiarity with spreadsheet-based tracking and basic procurement or ERP software will speed up onboarding. Some exposure to IT terminology and an understanding of roughly what a server license or a SaaS subscription involves help a candidate hit the ground running with fewer clarifying questions, though it isn't required starting out.
None of these extras are treated as gatekeeping requirements. A candidate with strong organizational instincts and no prior ERP exposure will still be considered seriously, since most companies use their own procurement tools that must be learned on the job regardless of prior familiarity.
Pay and what comes with it
The role pays up to ₹41,500 a month to start. Beyond salary, the offer includes standard health coverage and a provident fund contribution, with paid leave that begins accruing from the start date. For candidates relocating to Jaipur specifically for this role, the employer covers moving costs and helps with finding accommodation during the transition.
Reviews for this position happen at three and six months rather than waiting a full year, which provides fresher, clearer, more timely feedback on how the transition into the role is actually going.
Working in Mahindra World City
Mahindra World City sits a bit outside Jaipur's older commercial areas, with a concentration of IT and manufacturing companies nearby, which means a longer commute for anyone living centrally but a calmer, less congested working environment day-to-day.
Since a fair number of vendors this team works with are also based in or around similar business parks, there's an occasional need to visit a supplier's office directly, particularly for larger hardware orders where seeing the equipment before sign-off matters. It's not a constant part of the job, but it comes up often enough to mention.
The procurement team here is small, so a junior analyst gains exposure to the full purchasing cycle fairly quickly, rather than being confined to a narrow slice of it. That breadth tends to make the first year genuinely useful for anyone considering procurement or vendor management as a longer-term path.
New hires typically shadow a senior analyst through a few full purchase cycles before handling one independently, watching how a vendor comparison gets built and how a tricky negotiation actually plays out in real time rather than reading about it in a training document.
Applying
Send a resume that highlights any relevant coursework, internships, or projects touching procurement, vendor coordination, or business operations, even outside a formal job. Shortlisted candidates go through a short conversation focused on how they'd approach comparing vendor quotes and organizing purchasing documentation, since that reflects the actual work far more than general interview questions would.
Candidates coming from a general business or commerce background without procurement-specific experience shouldn't hesitate to apply. The core skills here- organization, clear communication, and comfort following up persistently without being pushy- matter more at this stage than prior exposure to a specific procurement software platform.
