Responsibilities

Own the department's recurring reporting cadence — portfolio status, purchase orders and subcontracts approaching closeout or past due for review by Procurement leadership.
Build and maintain dashboards and reports from procurement systems that track department-wide KPIs: cycle time, on-time delivery, closeout aging, spending, and savings.
Monitor department-wide compliance with prime contract requirements and company policy, identifying trends or systemic gaps rather than auditing individual transactions.
Revise and maintain department policies and procedures ensuring compliance with prime contract requirements and company policy.
Aggregate and report on supplier delivery performance and expediting activity across the portfolio, surfacing patterns of delay or non-performance to leadership.
Track department-wide receipt and invoice reconciliation metrics (e.g., match-exception rates, aging) to identify process bottlenecks between Procurement, Accounts Payable, and Shipping/Receiving.
Maintain department level tracking of supplier compliance documentation (e.g., COI currency rates) and flag systemic gaps.
Own department record-keeping standards, ensuring procurement and subcontract files are maintained consistently and remain audit ready.
Report on subcontract and purchase order closeout aging across the department, highlighting where closeout activity is lagging targets.
Prepare procurement business reviews and management reporting packages summarizing department performance, risks, and improvement opportunities.
Identify deficiencies or performance risks at a departmental or portfolio level that could jeopardize supplier delivery or contract compliance and escalate to Procurement leadership.
Lead process-improvement initiatives to accelerate department cycle time and enhance supplier collaboration, partnering with Buyers and Contract Administrators on implementation.
Serve as the department's point of contact for procurement systems administration and reporting tool maintenance.
Lead or support department-wide implementation of new procurement/ERP software and reporting tools, including requirements gathering, testing, data migration, training, and rollout to Buyers and Contract Administrators.
Perform other procurement operations or departmental reporting duties as assigned by Procurement leadership.
