Analytics Consultant (Supply Chain)

STRATEGIC STAFFING SOLUTIONS HAS AN OPENING!

Job Title: Analytics Consultant (Supply Chain)

Location: Charlotte NC ; Des Moines, IA

Duration: 12 Months Hybrid Schedule (3 Days On-Site) W2 Contract Only

Team Description:

Supplier Enablement Operations creates and maintains a centralized supplier onboarding and enablement process, and continually improves Supply Chain practices, reducing risk to ensure that sourced goods and services can be procured and paid in the most efficient and compliant way.

• The contractor exiting this role performed unique supplier setup and maintenance requests tied to projects (Early Pay Discount, Virtual Card) and monitoring Ariba B&I supplier mismatch reports to identify, research and resolve discrepancies between Ariba and PeopleSoft migration.
• Answer questions on process to peers and managers as well as internal and external customers and troubleshoot escalated and complex questions coming from internal business groups and external suppliers.
• Prioritize and complete escalations independently, reports system defects, completes requirements for enhancements to systems and processes, and independently completes monthly UAT system testing efforts to submit test scripts, and additional projects as assigned.
• Analyze risks in process and document procedures and training requirements to strengthen and improve individual and team performance. This position is relied upon heavily to assist with the uptick created by our systems, projects, and newer employees.
• Works independently, is a self-starter, requiring little direction or management oversight. This role is key to successfully driving the expansion of suppliers through our Ariba platform and away from ePro.
• Additional Quality Assurance reports have been requested (in backlog) to document metrics and performance between the Ariba system modules and the PeopleSoft system. There is no capacity for the current staff to monitor and track deficiencies, and a higher-level employee is required to work more efficiently.
• The tasks performed in the Ariba system do not currently have a second level review prior to migrating data from Ariba to PeopleSoft. To minimize risk that is expected with more volume migrating from Ariba to PeopleSoft, a secondary review needs to be implemented to proactively prevent issues, review work, complete uploads as lead, and be responsible for new QA reports comparing systems.
• There are system clean-up projects to be managed and delegate work to maintain a clean system meeting requirements of OFAC, FATCA and free from unused records that are not inactivated by Enabling Capabilities. Examples are inactivating unused supplier locations and adding a physical address to older active suppliers in the system for Global Sanctions screening.
• Successful Supplier Onboarding is a key task for this position. This role partners closely with Ariba, the supplier key contact(s), and various roles across SCM including Sourcing, Procurement, Accounts Payable, Enabling Capabilities, and the Business Group to ensure suppliers have been successfully onboarded for transacting in Ariba.

The four pillars of our company are to:

• Set the bar high for what a company should do
• Create jobs
• Offer people an opportunity to succeed and change their station in life
• Improve the communities where we live and work through volunteering and charitable giving
