Remote Operations Specialist for Information Technology Company

Work From Anywhere in LATAM

Work Schedule: Eastern Time | Monday–Friday, aligned to US Eastern business hours (8:45 AM ET daily team standup; must work within ±1 hour of New York time)

Compensation Range: $1000 - $1500 USD/month based on experience

A fast-growing AI company in the procurement technology space is looking for an Operations Specialist to own the data and supplier-coordination layer that keeps its platform delivering for enterprise customers.

The company is founder-led, lean, and in an active deployment phase — onboarding new enterprise clients and running real-world sourcing events. Often described as "Palantir for procurement," its deployment team blends tactical execution with customer advisory work, and this hire exists to own the execution core so senior team members can stay at the strategic level.

Day-to-day, the role is roughly 60% Excel-based data work — cleaning, structuring, and validating supplier, product, and quantity data so sourcing events run without error — and 40% phone and email follow-up with existing US-based suppliers to keep them engaged on the platform. Success means owning a client account end to end within 90 days, running the back-end work and communication independently.

Requirements

Must-Have

• 1–2+ years of hands-on Microsoft Excel experience in a professional work environment (not coursework or training), including pivot tables, VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP, INDEX MATCH, and IF formulas
• Demonstrated experience cleaning, normalizing, and validating datasets using formula-based methods (no hard-coded values), including sanity-checking data quality and comparing extracted data against source documents
• Experience building structured, replicable Excel models that others can follow
• Experience conducting outbound phone calls to US-based suppliers, vendors, or business contacts in a professional capacity
• C1+ English (CEFR) — spoken and written — for direct phone communication with US-based suppliers
• Located in LATAM and able to work within one hour of US Eastern Time

Nice-to-Have

• 1–2 years in management consulting or at a boutique advisory firm
• Hands-on procurement or supply chain experience (tactical purchasing, operational supplier relationship management)
• Python for data manipulation or automation
• Prior exposure to e-procurement or sourcing platforms
