- Utilize enterprise AI tools to accelerate spend classification, contract review, supplier research, and RFx drafting.
- Design and prototype AI-assisted workflows and agents with clients, facilitating their transition from pilot to daily use.
- Establish practical AI guardrails in procurement, covering data access, accuracy checks, and governance.
- Create reusable tools and accelerators to enhance team efficiency and effectiveness.
- Integrate procurement data from ERP, S2P, and supplier sources onto data cloud platforms for a unified view of spend.
- Transform data into actionable insights, including spend cubes, savings pipelines, supplier performance dashboards, and early risk signals.
- Advise on S2P technology roadmaps and platform selection, collaborating with implementation teams.
- Design supplier segmentation, performance management, and third-party risk frameworks, incorporating ESG principles.
- Define KPIs and scorecards, maintaining them with live data.
- Present insights and recommendations to senior executives, acting as a trusted advisor.
- Shape operating models, roles, and governance to ensure lasting adoption of new working methods.
- Contribute to proposals and thought leadership, mentor junior team members, and support practice growth.

- Practical experience using enterprise AI tools for business workflows and a clear perspective on AI's role in procurement.
- Solid understanding of strategic sourcing, category management, and supplier management.
- Ability to translate complex data into clear narratives and present confidently to senior stakeholders.
- Curiosity, initiative, and comfort with ambiguity in a fast-paced environment.
- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain, Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
