• Stakeholder Engagement: Act as a key resource on procurement policy and process across the business. Participate in cross-functional working groups and support audit and compliance reviews with accurate, well-organized documentation.
• Change Communication: Support process change management by communicating updates clearly to affected teams, working alongside Training & Communications to keep enablement content current and embedded in onboarding programs.

• Systems: Comfortable working with procurement platforms such as Coupa, SAP Ariba, or equivalent P2P/S2P systems.
• Executive Support: Able to prepare polished, senior-audience materials and support VP-level workstreams with minimal direction and high discretion.
