• Facilitate supplier onboarding activities as needed before finalizing transactions, including confirming that required documentation and system setups are in place.

• Obtain, validate, and update supplier quotes; provide quote information and options to internal requestors and service owners, and ensure that selected options are accurately reflected in purchase orders.

• Ensure day‑to‑day procurement activities comply with Finance, Legal, and Procurement policies, procedures, and approval frameworks.

• Maintain and use a calendar of key contract dates (e.g., maintenance, support, and term license expirations and termination notice periods) to proactively trigger renewals, terminations, or changes.

• Provide coverage and timely support for stakeholders across APAC, EMEA, and the Americas, coordinating with colleagues as needed to manage time zone differences and business priorities.

• Create and track savings and cost‑avoidance opportunities associated with renewals, competitive quotes, and negotiations in support of the company’s financial targets.

• Use procurement workflow and efficiency tools to initiate work, track status, and keep internal requestors and other stakeholders informed of progress, while maintaining accurate procurement and master data in purchasing and contract management systems.

• Support senior procurement staff, as requested, on sourcing events (e.g., RFx) by helping gather requirements, compile supplier responses, and organize basic price and non‑price comparisons.

• Basic understanding of total cost of ownership (TCO) concepts, with the ability to consider cost, quality, risk, and service when comparing supplier options.

• Excellent communication, negotiation, and human relations skills, with a service-oriented mindset toward internal requestors and external suppliers.
