You will synthesize inputs from Finance, Operations, and Global Procurement, translating data into clear action and executive storytelling, while leveraging AI and analytics trends to improve reporting, QBRs and decision support.

Qualifications

• Extensive experience across strategy consulting, implementation consulting, procurement, finance, business operations, transformation, performance management, analytics, or related roles.
• Strong strategic problem-solving ability, with experience structuring ambiguous topics, synthesizing complex data and stakeholder input, and translating insights into clear recommendations, decisions, and execution plans.
• Proven experience building and managing performance management systems, including KPI frameworks, scorecards, dashboards, QBRs, executive narratives, operating rhythms, governance forums, and leadership decision processes.
• Strong understanding of procurement value creation, including savings methodology, spend visibility, pipeline discipline, financial impact, and value validation in partnership with Finance.
• Strong analytical, visualization, and digital fluency, including advanced Excel and experience with tools such as Power BI, Tableau, ERP/AP data, or similar systems.

• Excellent executive communication, storytelling, stakeholder management, and influencing skills, with the ownership mindset, intellectual curiosity, and implementation discipline needed to operate effectively across regional, global, Finance, Operations, and category teams in a matrixed organization.
• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Economics, Supply Chain, Procurement, Data Analytics, Strategy, Operations, or a related field.

Responsibilities

• Shape and lead the EMEA Procurement performance agenda by building a connected performance management system that links strategy, KPIs, pipeline, savings, spend, supplier performance, operational priorities, and leadership decision-making into one clear view of progress and impact.
• Translate complex data into strategic direction by synthesizing inputs from Finance, Global Procurement, Operations, Category Teams, sourcing partners, SpendHQ, PPM, and performance dashboards into sharp insights, clear recommendations, and action-oriented leadership narratives.
• Lead EMEA QBRs as a strategic business review, not a reporting exercise by connecting performance against targets, root causes, risks, opportunities, decisions required, and forward-looking priorities that help leadership focus on what matters most.
• Drive performance improvement from insight through execution by turning recommendations into clear plans, owners, governance, timelines, and measurable outcomes — ensuring performance management leads to action, not just visibility.
• Strengthen EMEA’s connection with Finance, Operations, and Global Procurement by improving value credibility, savings methodology, reporting alignment, operational integration, and the flow of regional requirements into global performance processes.
• Advance EMEA’s data, spend, and analytics maturity by improving spend visibility, data quality, category-level insight, pipeline discipline, and the effective use of tools such as SpendHQ, PPM, dashboards, and future analytics capabilities.
• Identify where AI and automation can elevate performance management by staying close to emerging trends and translating them into practical use cases that improve reporting, QBR preparation, data synthesis, scenario analysis, productivity, decision support, and overall operating effectiveness.
