【募集の背景 / Purpose & Scope】

The Foundations Analyst is part of the Procurement Foundations team, which exists to keep our global category teams "match fit" and enable them to deliver maximum value to the business.

This role provides flexible, hands-on support, focusing on the areas where additional capacity and executional expertise are needed most, such as Scope 3 supplier collaboration, SRM activities, risk management tasks, working capital initiatives, and reporting to drive enterprise cost optimization.

Procurement Foundations retains ownership of Procurement policies and governance, and partners closely with the S2P Pod in Global Business Solutions (GBS).

While GBS manages transactional execution and data integrity , the Foundations Analyst works closely with the Insights & Capability Lead and Digital Lead to execute reporting, analyze data, and provide day-to-day support that enables the rollout of policies, frameworks, and tools.

This role plays a critical part in bridging strategy and execution, ensuring that key initiatives have the practical support needed to move forward, while offering the opportunity to develop broad exposure across Procurement priorities and build expertise across multiple domains.
