Procurement Analyst – SAP Ariba Upstream

We are working with a major organisation in South Manchester looking to recruit a Procurement Analyst to join its Procurement team.

A key requirement for this position is hands-on experience of SAP Ariba, particularly Ariba Upstream administration. We are therefore particularly interested in candidates who have been responsible for supporting, administering or maintaining Ariba within a procurement environment.

Alongside your Ariba experience, you will ideally bring a broader background in procurement, commercial or contract management and be comfortable working with procurement data, systems and stakeholders across a complex organisation.

The wider role will involve supporting supplier and contract management activities, analysing supplier performance and KPIs, producing reporting and insights, and helping improve procurement processes, governance and ways of working.

We are particularly interested in candidates with:

• Strong practical experience of SAP Ariba Upstream administration
• Procurement, commercial or contract management experience
• Strong analytical and data skills
• Experience producing procurement reporting and insights
• Good stakeholder management and communication skills
• Experience within a large or complex organisation

This is a hybrid role based in South Manchester, so applicants will need to be able to commute to the office as required.
