lessons, yours to run
Easy to pick up, built to get you the next job
No coding background needed, and you write code with Claude as you go.
Every section below turns into something a hiring manager recognises, not just notes.
Extract actionable market signals before the market moves
- You will ingest commodity price outlooks, tariff updates, supply disruption alerts, and supplier capability assessments into a structured signal library, all in plain English prompts, no code.
- You will sort signals by urgency so the most time-critical findings land at the top of your category manager summary, not buried on page 47.
- You will build a persistent CLAUDE.md context file so every future session in your project folder inherits your standard signal format automatically, the kind of repeatable process a hiring manager calls scalable.
Run a sourcing sprint that produces a defensible shortlist
- You will structure and execute an RFx event using Claude Code to organise supplier responses, score against your criteria, and surface the suppliers worth progressing.
- You will generate outputs a category manager or CPO can review and challenge, not a spreadsheet only you can interpret.
- Getting started takes minutes, not days, and zero prior technical experience is assumed from lesson one.
Build a negotiation intelligence system that puts you in the stronger seat
- You will construct a supplier-specific negotiation brief that maps their cost drivers, capacity constraints, and alternatives against your own walk-away position.
- You will produce the kind of structured negotiation preparation that procurement directors expect from their senior buyers, as a repeatable Claude Code workflow.
Manage supplier risk and contract obligations across the lifecycle
- You will extract and track contract obligations, renewal dates, and performance triggers so nothing slips past a review cycle unnoticed.
- You will build a supplier lifecycle management workflow that demonstrates commercial awareness, the capability that separates senior practitioners from administrators in any job interview.
Finish this course and you can do all of this, no prior background required:
- You will be able to extract structured market signals from commodity, tariff, and supply disruption reports and deliver a prioritised category manager briefing, a skill procurement directors look for
- You will be able to run a sourcing sprint in Claude Code that produces a scored, defensible supplier shortlist from raw RFx responses, the kind of structured process that shortens cycle time and survi
- You will be able to build a negotiation intelligence brief that maps supplier cost drivers and capacity constraints to your own position, so you walk into every negotiation with a prepared, evidence-b
- You will be able to extract and monitor contract obligations and renewal triggers from live contract documents, a commercial skill that protects the business from auto-renewal surprises and missed bre
- You will be able to manage the end-to-end supplier lifecycle in a structured, repeatable workflow that demonstrates the operational rigour hiring managers associate with strategic procurement roles.
- You will be able to demonstrate all of the above with working artefacts, signal libraries, sourcing outputs, negotiation briefs, and contract trackers, that serve as concrete portfolio proof in any in

Kept current with the stack
Claude Code, skills, and MCP move fast. Your licence includes every system update for as long as you're subscribed. Your system gets better, not obsolete.
You are doing the sourcing and negotiation work, but the intelligence behind each decision is thin: four market reports sit unread in a shared folder, the RFx scoring is a manual copy-paste exercise, and your negotiation prep is whatever you can pull together the night before the meeting. When hiring managers look at your CV, they see procurement experience, but they do not see a practitioner who can generate and act on structured intelligence at speed. The role goes to someone else. Meanwhile your organisation keeps leaving value on the table because the signals that should have triggered an early RFQ were spotted too late, or not at all.
What you'll be able to do, module by module
Every module leaves you able to build and run something real. Here is the syllabus, in the order you work through it.

Most candidates say they can run an RFx or negotiate a contract. Very few can walk into an interview with a working signal extraction system, a scored sourcing sprint output, and a negotiation brief built from real data. Stacking these skills in a single course makes you the practitioner who shows the work, not just describes it.

Open the Market Intelligence lesson and run your first prompt
Before you write a single line of anything technical, you paste a plain-English instruction into Claude Code, tell it to list the files in your project folder, and confirm you are working with the right inputs. The lesson shows you exactly what to type and what good output looks like. If you have never opened a terminal before, the course walks you through it step by step.
Build and export your first sourcing artefact
By the end of the Market Intelligence chapter you will have produced a market_signals_summary.md file: a formatted category manager briefing that counts signals by type, ranks the three most urgent by time horizon, and maps impacts to your sourcing category. That file is your first portfolio piece, built from real practice data, ready to show a hiring manager or your own leadership team.
From four unread reports to an urgent RFQ recommendation in one session
Four market reports land in the shared folder
A steel price outlook, a tariff update from a trade association, a supply disruption alert for a key manufacturing region, and a supplier capability assessment all arrive in the same week. None has been read. You open Claude Code and tell it to list all files in the market-intelligence folder with a one-line description of each.
Test the extraction on one report before scaling
You paste a plain-English prompt asking Claude Code to summarise the steel price outlook across five fields: commodity, key finding, time horizon, source, and recommended action. The output returns a specific forecast range and a named procurement step. The finding is concrete and actionable, so you proceed.
Extract all signals from all four reports
A single prompt instructs Claude Code to read every file and write each signal to market_signals.json as a separate record in the ten-field Market Signal Format you wrote into CLAUDE.md. One report contains three steel-grade signals; Claude Code captures each separately. You verify signal count and field completeness before moving on.
Sort by urgency and identify the top three signals
You ask Claude Code to sort all signals by time horizon ascending. The steel price increase and the new tariff effective date sit at the top of the table. You note their signal IDs for the summary.
Produce and share the category manager briefing
Claude Code writes market_signals_summary.md containing a signal count, type breakdown, the three most urgent signals by ID, and the sourcing category impacts. You run the five-point verification checklist, confirm all fields are populated and specific, and share the briefing with your category manager before the steel price moves.
The toolkit you'll build and run in this program

Straight answers before you subscribe
Do I need any coding or technical background to follow this course?
None at all. Every instruction you give Claude Code in this course is plain English. The lessons show you exactly what to type, what good output looks like, and what to do if something does not look right. If you have never opened a terminal before, the course walks you through it from the very first step.
Will this work with my own procurement files and data?
The course uses realistic practice data files for every lesson so you can follow along without needing access to your employer's systems. Once you have completed the lessons, the workflows and CLAUDE.md templates are designed to be adapted to your own category data and internal reports.
What if I start and it is not right for me?
You have 14 days from the date of purchase to request a full refund, no questions asked. We also offer a free preview lesson so you can see the teaching style and level of detail before you commit.
How does the course stay up to date as Claude Code changes?
The curriculum is reviewed and updated when meaningful changes to Claude Code affect the prompts or workflows taught in the lessons. As a subscriber you receive access to updated content automatically, and the daily live sessions with a mentor are a practical way to flag anything that looks different in your own environment.
Can I use the artefacts I build in this course in my own work or in job applications?
Yes. The signal libraries, category manager briefings, sourcing sprint outputs, negotiation briefs, and contract trackers you produce during the course are yours to keep and use. They are built from the practice data files provided, so there are no commercial restrictions on using them as portfolio evidence or adapting the templates for your own procurement work.
