  • Ensure adherence to ethical sourcing practices, internal controls, legal and external (SOX, SEC reporting) obligations.

  • Data Management & Reporting

  • Maintain accurate procurement data, including spend analytics, compliance metrics, and PO tracking.

  • Generate reports and dashboards to monitor procurement KPIs and drive insights for optimization.
  • Support audit and compliance requirements with appropriate documentation and process records.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in strategic sourcing, procurement, or supply chain management or a related field.
  • Proven track record of developing and executing successful sourcing strategies that have resulted in cost savings and value creation.
  • Strong negotiation, contract management, and supplier relationship management skills.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities.
  • Proficiency in sourcing software, ERP systems, and data analysis tools.
  • Excellent communication, interpersonal, and presentation skills.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
  • Strong ethical standards and commitment to integrity.
  • Flexible to work in US shift timings (6 pm to 3 am).

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience supporting global business units or shared service centers.
  • Familiarity with spend analytics and reporting tools.
  • Exposure to supplier due diligence, risk mitigation, and compliance requirements.
  • Prior experience in technology, SaaS, or high-growth environments.
