Senior Analyst, Procurement Data & Systems
About The Position
The Senior Analyst, Procurement Data & Systems plays a foundational role in building Fairfield's modern Procurement function. This role transforms procurement data into insights that drive smarter sourcing, supplier, and investment decisions while helping shape the systems and tools that will support procurement at scale. This is a foundational role in a Procurement function being built from the ground up. The person in this seat will shape how Procurement operates analytically, technologically, and operationally — building structure, visibility, and automation capability where none currently exists. It is designed for someone who thrives in greenfield environments and finds genuine satisfaction in creating order from complexity. The Procurement function at Fairfield is designed to scale deliberately over the next 18–36 months. This role is the foundation of what will become a Procurement Center of Excellence — covering spend analytics, supplier management, systems, and AI-enabled operations. As the function grows, high performers in this role will have the opportunity to take on expanded scope and potential leadership responsibility. The path forward will be determined by performance, demonstrated impact, and organizational need.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain Management, Finance, Information Systems, Data Analytics, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 3–6 years of experience in procurement analytics, supply chain operations, or a related data-intensive role.
- Advanced Microsoft Excel proficiency — pivot tables, complex formulas, data modeling, and data cleansing at scale.
- Hands-on Power BI experience — data modeling, DAX development, and dashboard design for non-technical audiences.
- Experience working alongside or embedding with a centralized BI or data team, translating business requirements into structured data requests.
- Experience with ERP or procurement systems such as Yardi, Procore, Sage, Nexus, or equivalent P2P/eProcurement platforms.
- Demonstrated experience building or automating workflows using Power Automate, Python scripting, or similar tools.
- Familiarity with master data concepts — supplier master, item master, taxonomy design, and data governance practices.
- Exposure to AI-powered procurement tools, including contract intelligence, spend classification, intake automation, or supplier risk monitoring.
- Experience supporting or contributing to the development of AI agents or automation workflows, including prompt design, workflow logic, or output validation.
- Strong analytical thinking — ability to frame business problems, structure data approaches, and communicate findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
- Highly self-directed — comfortable operating without a predefined playbook and building structure where none exists.
