As the Sr. Analyst, I lead category management and manage procurement for 7 data centers while supporting Sourcing Managers in facilitating category strategy development and improvement through analysis and presentation of various data points. I initiate efficient supply management through procurement leadership, fulfilling data center leaders' purchase requests while ensuring cost-savings by diligently submitting RFQs to preferred suppliers and selecting the best quotes. I also coordinate with suppliers to foster strategic partnerships and submit purchase requests within SLAs to ensure timely and complete purchase order delivery. Additionally, I maintain accuracy, clarity, and accountability by liaising between stakeholders and contract team members to gather important information in drafting contracts for signed agreements. By exemplifying excellent management and technical expertise, I was tasked to manage 2 Sourcing Managers, including their accounts and engagements, after the first five months in the role.
