Data Intelligence: Design and build automated dashboards and reports to provide real-time insights into spend analysis, savings, and KPIs.
Co-creation: Collaborate directly with the Procurement team to understand their challenges and co-create effective technological solutions.
Documentation & Support: Document new automated processes and support the team during the implementation of new tools.
Innovation Research: Constantly research and propose new technologies and methodologies to drive continuous improvement.
