Sr. Indirect Procurement Analyst

POSITION SUMMARY:   

The Senior Indirect Procurement Specialist role supports both indirect category sourcing and the transformation of procurement systems across our U.S. operations. The role serves as a bridge between Indirect Sourcing and Systems & Strategy, ensuring that both plant and corporate teams can efficiently source and purchase through our digital platforms (Coupa and D365). The ideal candidate brings strong procurement execution skills and a data-driven approach to drive adoption, efficiency, and compliance throughout the source-to-pay process. This position does not oversee direct material costs.  Instead, it focuses on services, indirect goods, and plant support categories, while advancing system utilization and continuous improvement across the procurement function.

Essential Functions:

• Indirect Purchasing Support: Collaborate with plant and functional stakeholders to define requirements, facilitate sourcing events, and manage purchasing for indirect and service categories.
• Supplier Engagement: Oversee supplier onboarding, maintain supplier records, and support performance tracking and relationship management.
• Governance & Compliance: Ensure adherence to procurement policies, competitive bidding standards, and contract documentation.
• Process Improvement: Identify process gaps and work with the Systems & Strategy team to enhance P2P processes, reporting, and automation.
• Systems Enablement: Drive user adoption of Coupa and D365 by training users, resolving issues, and ensuring transactions follow standard workflows.
• Analytics & Reporting: Support KPI tracking, spend visibility dashboards, and maintain data integrity within procurement systems.
• Continuous Improvement: Act as a liaison among business users, IT, and suppliers to identify and implement system or process enhancements.
• Sourcing Support: Assist with Request for Proposal (RFP) processes and ensure alignment with competitive sourcing standards.
• Perform other duties assigned that support the overall success of the team, department, or organization. This may include participating in cross-functional initiatives, contributing to process improvements, or assisting with special projects as needed.
• This list is intended to describe the general nature and level of work performed. This is not an exhaustive list of all responsibilities required for this role.
• Regular, predictable, in-person attendance on the business days the Company requires in-person attendance at this facility.  (In-person attendance is optional on the other workdays.)  For non-required-in-person attendance days, employees are expected to be present and engaged during the designated work hours for this role.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Knowledge of Procurement best practices and market trends.
• Analytical mindset with proficiency in Excel, Power BI, or other reporting tools.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a hybrid, fast-paced environment.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.

• Strong knowledge of indirect procurement categories (e.g., services, MRO, logistics, IT, marketing).
• Experience supporting digital transformation or system rollouts in Procurement or Supply Chain is a plus.
