Procurement and Operations Sr. Analyst

This position will be a hybrid role, reporting into our Cleveland, Ohio office

The Procurement and Operations Sr. Analyst supports Procurement, broader Operations functions, and FP&A through cross-functional analysis, reporting development, and business partnership. This role is responsible for helping the organization build greater visibility into operational and financial performance by identifying key data sources across disparate ERP systems and platforms, developing practical methods to gather and structure that data, and creating reporting and forecasting models that support better decision-making.

This position will play an important role in establishing a stronger analytics foundation across Procurement and other Operations areas by building near-term reporting solutions—primarily in Excel and other accessible tools—while also helping support the longer-term evolution of reporting capabilities through the company’s business intelligence environment. The ideal candidate combines strong business acumen, analytical problem-solving ability, and a hands-on approach to working in environments where data may be fragmented, inconsistent, or still developing.
