You Might Thrive In This Role If You • 8+ years building data strategy, analytics, or data products across Procurement, Finance Ops, Supply Chain, or similar domains. • Proven ability to partner with technical teams to design end-to-end procurement data models (supplier, spend, contract, workflows, POs, invoices, payments, T&E, contingent workforce) with clear KPI definitions. • Hands-on experience building trusted datasets and dashboards for self-serve insights, turning spend and operational data into decision-ready reporting and compliance visibility. • Expert in data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Zip, Navan, VNDLY, Oracle) with SQL proficiency and familiarity with analytics engineering concepts (data modeling, ETL/ELT, testing, monitoring, documentation). • Experienced in enforcing production-grade data pipelines with quality checks, lineage, and governance, and strong expertise in procurement master data management and data governance (metrics, source-of-truth, access, auditability). • Track record of translating ambiguous business needs into clear analytics requirements and delivering data products with measurable impact. • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills and ability to operate in high-growth environments with high ownership, speed, and a focus on scalable solutions.
