Full description
ROLE OVERVIEW
The Procurement Analyst IV (Team Lead) leads the day-to-day delivery of the client's procurement and asset operations — hardware purchasing and purchase-order processing, global asset lifecycle operations, asset administration and New Product Introduction (NPI) support. As a player-coach at Level IV, the role combines deep procurement expertise with team leadership: it owns the service levels for a team of procurement and asset analysts and, at roughly 673 transactions per month, keeps the hardware-procurement engine that feeds Astreya's downstream receiving and deployment work running accurately and on time.
The Team Lead allocates work and coverage, coaches and develops analysts, and acts as the first-line escalation point for complex purchase-order, pricing and asset issues. The role reports to the Service Delivery Manager and partners closely with Supplier & Vendor Management, the Catalogue and Pricing functions, Contracts and the SAM team to keep master data and supplier information consistent. As the incumbent, Astreya can build on established procurement processes, part-number conventions and supplier relationships to drive PO accuracy, cycle time and cost outcomes.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Team Leadership & Work Allocation
- Lead the day-to-day operations of the procurement & asset analyst team (Levels I–III), allocating workload and managing 14x5 coverage to meet demand.
- Coach and develop analysts through huddles, quality reviews and cross-training, and support hiring and onboarding alongside the Service Delivery Manager.
- Set and monitor daily and weekly priorities so purchase-order, asset and NPI service levels are consistently met.
- Act as first-line escalation for complex procurement, purchase-order, pricing and asset issues, resolving or routing them to the right owner.
- Hardware Procurement & Purchase Orders
- Oversee the creation, amendment and expediting of purchase orders — special, replenishment and urgent — ensuring each PO is complete, correctly priced and properly approved.
- Govern resolution of automated PO pricing and quantity discrepancies via the correct escalation paths, and safeguard urgent-order turnaround.
- Own BPO creation logic, demand-forecast inputs and BPO uplifts when utilization hits critical thresholds.
- Oversee Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) workflows with suppliers for damaged or incorrect deliveries.
- Asset Lifecycle & NPI Oversight
- Oversee global asset lifecycle operations — part-number creation, MID/MPN reassignments, moves and retirements — and the integrity of asset master data.
- Ensure asset, procurement and finance systems stay reconciled, and that bulk data updates are performed accurately and to SLA.
