• Interpret LCGPA Local Content frameworks — including Baseline methodology, Preferential evaluation policies, weightages, and scoring criteria — and convert them into product rules and data models.
• Collaborate with product & engineering teams to design, validate, and enhance LC scoring modules, supplier evaluation workflows, and compliance dashboards.
• Ensure product logic remains aligned with updated LCGPA circulars, reforms, and sector-specific requirements.

• Lead LC onboarding for new customers, ensuring all required data, documents, spend mapping, and supplier records are properly captured.
• Conduct workshops for procurement, finance, and compliance stakeholders on LC scoring, spend classification, and preferential policy benefits.
• Support customers in interpreting LC results and integrating the product into their procurement journey.
• Local Content Advisory
• Act as Pennys internal expert on Local Content regulations, serving as the reference point for policy clarification.
• Proactively analyze updates from LCGPA and assess their product impact.
• Provide policy-driven recommendations to improve the customer experience, scoring models, and reporting outputs.
• Cross-Functional Enablement
• Work closely with Sales and Customer Success teams to support LC-focused proposals and customer value cases.
• Contribute to GTM materials explaining how LC scoring and preferential policies are operationalized through Penny.
• Engage with procurement, finance, and supply chain teams to ensure LC data integrity.

• Must Have
• 5+ years experience in Local Content, procurement policies, compliance, or LC GPA-related consulting or audit.
• Strong understanding of:
• LCGPA Local Content Baseline methodology
• Preferential Procurement Policy and pricing evaluation model
• Supplier classification and spend mapping concepts

• Exposure to digital procurement platforms or ERP systems
• Experience translating policies into business processes or system rules
