• Apply strong end-to-end P2P knowledge, including sourcing, contracting, purchasing, supplier onboarding, invoice processing, and payment workflows.
• Drive supplier performance management through KPIs, issue resolution, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Conduct spend analysis, market intelligence, and sourcing opportunity assessments to support data-driven decision-making.
• Develop and maintain procurement dashboards and reports using Power BI and other analytical tools.
• Collaborate effectively with global stakeholders across multiple regions and time zones; flexibility to support meetings outside normal business hours is required.
• Ensure compliance with company procurement policies, procedures, and governance requirements.
• Operate independently, demonstrate strong ownership, and proactively identify and implement sourcing improvements.

• Professional certifications such as CPSM, CSCP, CIPS, or APICS
• Working knowledge of Oracle ERP, JDE, Atlas, and other procurement systems.
• Strong communication and influencing skills with the ability to work across global and multicultural teams.
• Self-starter who can manage multiple priorities and deliver results with minimal supervision.
  
  

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in supply chain, Business, Engineering, Finance, or related field.
