Sr. Indirect Procurement Analyst
About The Position
The Senior Indirect Procurement Specialist role supports both indirect category sourcing and the transformation of procurement systems across our U.S. operations. The role serves as a bridge between Indirect Sourcing and Systems & Strategy, ensuring that both plant and corporate teams can efficiently source and purchase through our digital platforms (Coupa and D365). The ideal candidate brings strong procurement execution skills and a data-driven approach to drive adoption, efficiency, and compliance throughout the source-to-pay process. This position does not oversee direct material costs. Instead, it focuses on services, indirect goods, and plant support categories, while advancing system utilization and continuous improvement across the procurement function.

- Commitment to continuous improvement, connecting data, process, and behavioral change.
- Bachelor’s degree in supply chain management, business, or related field or equivalent work experience.
- 5-7 years of experience in procurement, supply chain, or P2P systems roles (manufacturing environment preferred).
- Strong knowledge of indirect procurement categories (e.g., services, MRO, logistics, IT, marketing).
Nice To Haves
- Familiarity with vendor master data governance and procurement policy frameworks, preferred.
- Experience supporting digital transformation or system rollouts in Procurement or Supply Chain is a plus.
