You lead operational excellence by analysing business performance, identifying operational risks, driving standardization across countries and ensuring operational governance. You transform operational insights into actions by leading root cause analysis, driving continuous improvement and ensuring the highest standards of operational performance, user experience and process compliance.

    • A deep understanding of procurement operations and end-to-end Source-to-Pay processes
    • Experience analyzing KPIs, SLAs and operational performance
    • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
    • Proven experience leading root cause analysis, with a track record of corrective actions that stick

    A day in your life with us

    • Lead operational excellence across Procurement Operations, including Buying Operations and wider procurement services

    • Lead operational performance reviews and recovery plans when KPIs or SLAs are declining or not improving as expected.
    • Lead root cause analysis, and make sure corrective actions stick across countries
    • Drive standardization across countries, challenging local deviations and promoting global ways of working
    • Lead continuous improvement initiatives focused on the 3Es
    • Lead complex country escalations, and coordinate resolution with IBM and key stakeholders

    • Coach and develop Procurement Operations Experts I, and represent the team in governance meetings and stakeholder discussions
    • Represent OSS in governance meetings, operational reviews and stakeholder discussions when required.
    • Ensure compliance with global procurement standards, controls and governance

    Together as a team

    Good operations aren't built by systems alone. They're built by people who notice the details others miss, and who help others do the same.
    As the senior expert on the team, you'll help shape how we work across countries. You'll coach and develop your colleagues. And you'll identify opportunities to improve user experience, operational efficiency and procurement compliance, turn what you know into decisions that make procurement simpler, faster, and more reliable, for everyone who counts on it.
