Manage the end-to-end purchase requisition-to-order process, including price negotiations and documentation.

Analyze spending patterns to recommend and implement cost-saving opportunities.
Drive process enhancements through data-driven analysis and best-practice implementation.

Ability to proactively anticipate disruptions or challenges and adapt to situations as needed.

Preferred:

Master’s degree in Supply Chain or a similar field.
