Job description

Overview

Procurement Data Research Analyst

📍 Remote (UK) | 💰 £35,000 to £40,000 | 🎓 Graduate–2 yrs experience

A fast-growing AI platform is building next-generation infrastructure for enterprise procurement teams. The product helps organisations evaluate bids, suppliers and commercial risk with audit-grade accuracy — replacing spreadsheet-driven decision making with structured, explainable intelligence.

We’re hiring a Procurement Data Research Analyst to sit at the core of the platform, translating real-world procurement expertise into high-quality data that underpins AI decision-making.

The Role

This is not a generic data role. You’ll act as a domain specialist, grounding AI outputs in real procurement logic and ensuring everything built is accurate, explainable and enterprise-ready.

You’ll:

• Work directly with clients and internal teams to understand how procurement decisions are made
• Research, structure and validate procurement, supplier and pricing data
• Define what data matters, how it should be used, and why
• Ensure data accuracy, relevance and audit-readiness
• Translate manual scoring frameworks and decision heuristics into structured logic
• Validate AI outputs as part of a human-in-the-loop (HITL) process

What We’re Looking For

Open on background, but domain exposure is key.

Strong candidates will have:

• A top-tier academic background (graduates or 0–2 years’ experience, up to 3 considered)
• Exposure to procurement, sourcing, ERP or supply-chain data
• SAP experience (S/4HANA and/or Ariba) — certification strongly preferred
• High attention to detail and analytical rigour
• Comfort working with messy, real-world data and improving it
• Ability to explain why data is structured in a particular way

Tools & Skills

• SAP S/4HANA / SAP Ariba
• Azure (data platforms, pipelines, cloud environments)
• Data validation, QA and reporting

Why This Role

• Ownership of a mission-critical function within an AI product
• Exposure to explainable, audit-grade AI systems
• Close collaboration with technical and commercial stakeholders
• Fully remote working
• Clear progression as the platform scales

Compensation & Process

• £35k depending on experience (exceptional graduates considered)
• 2–3 stage interview process (including one technical/analytical stage)
