Director Procurement Analytics

Overview

Lead procurement financial analysis, bridging strategic sourcing, advanced accounting and corporate finance, including TCO and financial modeling, procurement accounting and cost control, and working capital optimization.

What you'll do

• Work with Finance and business leaders to allocate budgets across categories, departments and strategic initiatives, aligned to business priorities and anticipated demand.
• Develop and maintain total cost of ownership (TCO) models capturing acquisition, implementation, integration, licensing, support, maintenance and end-of-life costs.
• Use TCO models and scenario analysis to compare supplier proposals, evaluate sourcing alternatives and recommend budget allocations based on long-term financial impact.
• Partner with FP&A to incorporate sourcing decisions, contractual commitments and validated savings into annual budgets and rolling forecasts.
• Build discounted cash flow (DCF) and Net Present Value (NPV) analyses for complex, multi-year contracts incorporating WACC, FX adjustments and indexation clauses.
• Manage and reconcile purchase-to-pay (P2P) financial activities, including month-end Goods Receipt / Invoice Receipt (GR/IR) clearing accounts and unbilled accrual tracking.
• Evaluate supplier proposals and contracts for CapEx versus OpEx classification under ASC 842 / IFRS 16 lease accounting standards.
• Conduct detailed standard cost variance analysis, separating Purchase Price Variance (PPV) from volume, yield and freight variances.
• Partner with Accounts Payable to maintain matching principles across milestone billings, prepayments, retainers and deferred expenses.
• Audit supplier cost structures using activity-based costing (ABC) and "should-cost" breakdown models.
• Optimize the Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) by analyzing Days Payable Outstanding (DPO), evaluating extended terms (e.g., Net 30 vs. Net 90), and assessing dynamic discounting or supply chain finance programs.
• Perform financial viability assessments and ratio analyses (e.g., Altman Z-score, Quick Ratio, Debt-to-Equity) on key and sole-source suppliers.
• Support post-sourcing spend audits to identify invoice discrepancies, leakage and non-compliance with contract pricing terms.

• Proven experience developing multi-variable TCO and financial evaluation models for high-value sourcing initiatives.
• Hands-on experience with month-end financial closing, accruals and standard costing within an enterprise ERP environment.
