• Proficiency with Excel or Google Sheets, including formulas, filters, pivot tables, and lookup functions.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills; comfortable asking questions and documenting decisions and rationale.
• Curiosity about automation and artificial intelligence, with interest in applying technology to streamline business processes.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with Large Language Models, document extraction, or vendor and procurement systems is a plus, but not required.

Responsibilities

• Identify, analyze, and resolve duplicate supplier records, including parent and subsidiary relationships, while maintaining a clear decision log.
