This role partners closely with Accounting, Finance, Legal, Third-Party Risk Management, IT, and Shared Services to deliver high-quality solutions through structured planning, Agile methodologies, continuous communication, and disciplined RAID / RACI management. A strong foundation in change management and stakeholder engagement is essential to ensure adoption, compliance, and long-term sustainability of new processes and tools.

  • Facilitate Agile ceremonies (standups, sprint planning, retrospectives) where applicable; influence hybrid Agile / waterfall delivery as needed.
  • Track dependencies, risks, issues, and action items with clear ownership, escalation paths, and mitigation strategies.
  • Ensure all appropriate Procurement teammates are engaged in projects based on their expertise and project requirements.

Stakeholder Engagement & Change Management

  • Partner with business and IT stakeholders to define scope, requirements, success metrics, and timelines for large and complex procurement initiatives.
  • Support change management activities including stakeholder readiness assessments, communication planning, training coordination, and post-go-live stabilizations.
  • Prepare and deliver executive-level updates, dashboards, and project communications that support transparent decision-making.
  • Ensure appropriate Procurement SMEs are engaged throughout the project lifecycle and accountable for key deliverables.
  • Process Optimization & Compliance

  • Identify opportunities for process improvement and automate procurement workflows to enhance efficiency, compliance, and data quality.
  • Support risk mitigation strategies and ensure alignment with internal controls, audit requirements, and enterprise policies.
  • Work with shared service departments to streamline procurement-adjacent processes including onboarding, contracting, invoicing, data governance, and supplier compliance.
  • Develop and implement comprehensive risk mitigation strategies within the Procurement organization.
  • Identify opportunities for process improvements within the Procurement function and implement changes to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
  • Develop and deliver training programs on procurement compliance and best practices to internal teams.
  • Leverage data and analytics to drive decision-making and improve procurement practices.
  • Training, Documentation & Operational Readiness

  • Build project documentation including business requirements, user stories, process maps, training materials, SOPs, and job aids.
  • Support the rollout of training programs and facilitate knowledge transfers to ensure long-term adoption of new tools and processes.
  • Develop and implement effective communication strategies to ensure cohesion within the Procurement organization, internal stakeholders, and suppliers.
  • Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Supply Chain Management, or a related field. Advanced degree or certification (e.g., PMP, CSM) is a plus.
  • Proven experience (5+ years) in procurement, project management, or a related field with a focus on risk management, compliance, and ERP-focused system implementations.
  • Strong understanding of procurement processes, risk management principles, and audit practices.
  • Excellent project management skills with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
