• Prior experience working in procurement, sourcing, third-party risk, contracts, accounts payable, or a closely related function strongly preferred

• Demonstrated understanding & application of AI-enabled tools to analyze and improve business operations

• Experience operating in a risk, compliance, or control-based environment, with the ability to engage meaningfully in risk discussions

• Demonstrated ability to influence and partner with senior leaders

Skills & Capabilities:

• Highly self-directed with the ability to work independently with minimal oversight

• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and shaping structure where none exists

• Strong stakeholder management and facilitation skills

• Ability to communicate complex topics clearly to senior audiences

• Strong judgment and ability to balance execution, risk, and change fatigue

• Analytical mindset with experience leveraging data and reporting to inform decisions

• Proficiency in Power BI, Tableau, or similar business intelligence and reporting tools

• Strong understanding of project management methodologies (Waterfall, Agile, or Hybrid)

• Advanced Microsoft Office skills (PowerPoint, Excel, Teams)

• Familiarity with project tracking tools (e.g., JIRA, ALM) is a plus

• Exposure to procurement systems (e.g., SAP Ariba, Fieldglass) is a plus

Education:

• Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree or change-related certifications a plus

What's in it for you?
