Your role in the team

  • As a Procurement Analytics Specialist, you’re the person who turns an ambiguous business problem into a robust, data-driven solution.
  • You don’t write code—but you understand the technology well enough to ask the right questions, critically evaluate proposed solutions, and independently explore data using AI-powered tools.
  • You lead the process from a content perspective: from identifying the problem through analysis to making a recommendation.
  • You can expect the following responsibilities:
  • Independently lead analysis and optimization projects in procurement—from identifying the problem to developing a data-driven solution.
  • Identification and assessment of optimization potential in procurement processes through qualitative and quantitative analysis.
  • Structured problem decomposition: Trace business symptoms back to their root causes—whether technical, process-related, or organizational.
  • Coordination between business departments and the development team – refining requirements, evaluating solution approaches, and supporting implementation.
  • Independent data exploration with AI-powered tools – understand datasets, check plausibility, and derive recommendations for action.
  • Prepare results and recommendations for management and business units—clear, robust, and ready for decision-making.
