Job Overview: 

The Procurement Data Analyst role enables procurement stakeholders by transforming procurement and P2P data into actionable insights that improve cost, compliance, and operational performance. The role partners with Procurement, AP, Finance, IT, and Tax to define data requirements, build standardized reporting, and deliver recurring dashboards and analytics that support sourcing and operational decision-making.

This position exists to strengthen enterprise adoption of procurement standards through measurement and transparency—monitoring process adherence, identifying leakage and exceptions, and recommending corrective actions supported by data. The role also supports continuous improvement by conducting root-cause analysis, tracking KPIs (e.g., spend, PPV, cycle times, contract compliance, supplier performance), and quantifying benefits from improvement initiatives.

• Extract and consolidate data from ERP, eProcurement, and AP systems; perform reconciliations, exception checks, and coordinate fixes with process owners/IT.
• Maintain strong data quality controls across procurement and finance systems.
• Analyze procurement KPIs and operational performance, highlighting trends, variances, risks, and opportunities with clear commentary and visuals.
• Conduct root cause analyses on recurring issues (maverick spend, delayed approvals, invoice/3‑way match exceptions, supplier delivery gaps).
• Recommend corrective actions with quantified impact and implementation steps.
• Govern analytics documentation including KPI definitions, calculation logic, and data dictionaries.
• Ensure version control and consistent interpretation of metrics across Procurement, AP, Finance, IT, and Tax.
