Reporting & Continuous Improvement
- Track procurement spend, vendor performance, contract renewals, and operational KPIs.
- Monitor supplier risks, compliance requirements, and commercial opportunities.
- Prepare reports and insights for leadership on vendor performance, procurement and savings initiatives, and strategic projects.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance procurement processes, governance, vendor management and operational efficiency.
