  Lead the quantitative aspects of the sourcing process, including baseline development, bid sheet creation, and scenario modeling.

  Support the end-to-end RFP process: gathering requirements, managing supplier communications, and summarizing bid responses for leadership review.

  Assist in the negotiation process by providing "should-cost" models and financial impact analyses.

• Market Intelligence & Strategy Support:

  Conduct market research on supplier capabilities, industry trends, and regulatory changes (e.g., FDA approvals, commodity indices).

  Support Category Managers in the development of long-term category strategies and supplier relationship management (SRM) plans.

• Stakeholder Collaboration:

  Partner with Clinical, Finance, and Legal teams to ensure sourcing initiatives align with patient care objectives and operational goals.

  Prepare executive-level presentations and dashboards to communicate project status and financial results.

• Contract Management:

  Assist in the drafting and review of contract exhibits, amendments, and statements of work (SOW).

  Maintain the contract repository and track key renewal dates and performance metrics.

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain, Finance, or a related field required.

• Experience:

  2-5+ years of relevant experience in sourcing, procurement, supply chain analysis, or financial planning & analysis (FP&A).

  Experience with direct procurement or highly regulated industries (Healthcare/Pharma) is strongly preferred.

• Technical Skills:

  Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (pivot tables, complex formulas, modeling) and PowerPoint.

  Experience with procurement systems (e.g., Coupa, Oracle) and visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, PowerBI) is a plus.

• Analytical Rigor: Ability to synthesize large datasets into actionable strategic insights.

• Execution Focus: Proven track record of managing multiple projects simultaneously with high attention to detail.

• Communication: Strong verbal and written communication skills; able to articulate complex data to cross-functional stakeholders.

• Ambiguity: Comfort working in a fast-paced environment where processes may be in development.

• A "community first, company second" culture based on Core Values that really matter.

• Opportunity to build a relatively new function from the ground up and drive significant impact across the Village.

• Performance-based rewards based on stellar individual and team contributions.
