• Support end-to-end procurement and supplier lifecycle processes.
• Assist with contingent workforce processes, including onboarding, extensions, transfers, and offboarding.

• Experience serving as a liaison between business stakeholders and external vendors or technology partners.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with Vendor Management Systems (VMS) such as Beeline , Fieldglass , or similar platforms.
• Experience working with TPRM and procurement platforms such as Aravo , Ariba , Zip , or comparable systems.
• Experience acting as a system administrator within procurement, VMS, or TPRM platforms.
• Exposure to project coordination, business process improvement, and user acceptance testing (UAT).
