Position Summary

We are seeking a highly analytical and forward-thinking Senior Procurement Analyst focused on BI and Data Analytics to support our Strategic Sourcing and Procurement team. This position is not a traditional procurement role, it's a key partner in delivering data-driven insights, improving visibility into spend and cost drivers, and enabling more effective sourcing decisions.

This position plays a critical role in building and scaling procurement analytics, tools, and data infrastructure—in some cases from the ground up. The analyst will help advance the organization’s procurement capabilities by improving reporting, standardizing data, and supporting the adoption of modern systems and technologies.

Working closely with the Strategic Sourcing and Procurement team, this role provides the analytical foundation, market insights, and reporting needed to support category and supplier strategies, while partnering with Finance to ensure accurate tracking and realization of cost changes.

Improve tools and systems, including defining requirements, improving usability, and driving adoption

Contribute to the procurement maturity roadmap and evaluate emerging technologies, including advanced analytics and AI-driven tools

Enable Category Managers through data-driven insights, analysis, and performance visibility

Partner with Category Managers to deliver market research, inflation trends, key cost drivers (e.g., fish oil, resins, freight), and supplier insights that inform category and sourcing strategies

Enable RFI/RFP processes, including improving and automating workflows where possible

Analyze and track supplier performance, developing KPIs and scorecards (cost, service, quality, reliability)

Contribute to development of supplier management and segmentation strategies (e.g., Kraljic matrix) based on performance, risk, and strategic importance

Track Procurement program progress and ensure visibility into realized vs. projected savings
