Description

About Procure Analytics

Procure Analytics is a Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) that helps manufacturing and industrial companies reduce costs across indirect spend categories — including MRO, janitorial, packaging, safety, and more. We serve as a strategic extension of our members' procurement teams, combining data-driven analysis with deep supplier relationships to deliver measurable, sustainable savings.

THE OPPORTUNITY

As an Operations Analyst, you will work closely with our Member Advisory team and play a critical role in delivering ongoing value to our Members. By analyzing complex data sets and making effective and actionable recommendations, you will help support and inform our Members’ procurement activities and maximize the benefits they receive from our GPO contracts.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive Procurement Intelligence: Lead analysis of large, complex datasets from Members and suppliers to assess procurement trends and identify savings and optimization opportunities across indirect MRO categories with particular focus on nuanced, high-value accounts requiring elevated discretion and judgement
• Deliver High-Quality, Insight-Led Analysis: Own end to end development of both recurring and ad hoc analyses such as savings reports, SKU rationalization and consolidation projects, to deliver Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) value to our Members to our complex member base
• Produce Compelling, Stakeholder-Ready Outputs: Translate complex data into clear, compelling and persuasive outputs (Excel analyses, PowerPoint presentations, executive summaries) tailored for internal stakeholders and Member-facing discussions.
• Partner Strategically with Member Advisors: Serve as a trusted partner to our Member Advisors to support each Member’s procurement strategy, drawing on wider industry insights and analysis to prepare impactful business reviews and articulate the value of our supplier contracts.
• Act as a Cross-Functional Liaison: Act as a liaison between internal teams, Members, and suppliers to gather data, validate assumptions, and support contract and project management activities. Exercise sound judgement when handling sensitive member information and commercially confidential data.
• Build and Elevate Team Capability & Tooling: Assist in building and refining standardized tools, templates, and reporting frameworks to improve team efficiency and consistency contributing institutional knowledge that strengthens wider operations function over time.
• Proactively identify opportunities beyond assigned workstreams — whether flagging portfolio growth opportunities, proposing process improvements, or supporting broader team objectives – and take on additional responsibilities as the role evolves.

The Person

We are looking for a highly analytical and resourceful individual who thrives in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment. The ideal candidate is flexible, shows initiative, and is comfortable working both individually and as part of a close-knit team. Strong organizational skills, an ability to prioritize tasks and meet deadlines, and excellent attention to detail are essential.

Requirements

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong analytical capabilities, with hands-on experience working with large and complex datasets.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel — pivot tables, lookups, complex formulas, data structuring.
• Ability to synthesize data into clear insights and actionable recommendations, not just summaries.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to tailor messaging for different audiences (internal teams, Members, suppliers).
• Experience managing multiple priorities and delivering high-quality work under tight timelines
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy in all analytical work.
• Self-starter with the ability to work independently and take ownership of deliverables.

Desired Skills

• Proficiency in PowerPoint, with the ability to create clean, executive-ready presentations.
• Experience with BI tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau).
• Familiarity with CRM platforms (e.g., Salesforce)
• Advanced Excel capabilities (e.g., macros, Power Query)
• Exposure to procurement, supply chain, indirect spend categories, or Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs)

What Success Looks Like

• Consistently delivers accurate, insight-driven analyses and recommendations.
• Produces clear, structured, and executive-ready outputs with minimal rework.
• Effectively supports both planned workstreams and ad hoc requests without sacrificing quality.
• Builds strong, trust-based working relationships with MAs and internal stakeholders.
• Demonstrates increasing ownership of analyses, problem-solving, and deliverable quality over time.
