About the Opportunity

Join the global procurement transformation team at one of the world's premier media and entertainment powerhouses. As our organization standardizes its global procurement footprint across 24+ workstreams and 300+ strategic initiatives, we are looking for two Procurement Senior Analysts to drive operational integrity, data hygiene, and financial validation tracking across non-labor spend categories.

Sitting at the heart of our procurement operating rhythm, this role is not a general data analyst position—it requires domain expertise in procurement data to understand initiative narratives, manage high-volume workflows, and track financial sign-offs directly in Asana.

Key Responsibilities

• Daily Tactical Operations & Workflow Management:
• Manage day-to-day data integrity for ~45 active initiatives per week across domestic and international regions (EMEA, LATAM, Australia).
• Maintain the central Hygiene Dashboard and issue daily action items to regional Hygiene Leads.
• Facilitate weekly stand-up meetings to review initiative priorities, resolve roadblocks, and support CPO-level reviews.
• Asana Workflow & Schema Optimization:
• Utilize Asana as the single source of truth to manage custom fields, portfolios, approval flows, and data hygiene rules.
• Develop training materials, onboarding sessions, and quick-reference guides for global cross-functional teams.
• Partner with Category Leads and regional teams to ensure accurate field completion and smooth initiative migration.
• Financial Validation & Budget Alignment:
• Train regional leads on stage-gate template sign-offs and documentation requirements.
• Maintain the Sign-Off Evidence Log and Financial Validation Tracker to clear validation backlogs across 300+ projects.
• Facilitate alignment sessions between Category Leads and Central Finance to ensure budget accuracy.

Role Qualifications & Requirements

• Procurement Domain Experience: 1–2+ years of dedicated procurement experience with strong domain knowledge in non-labor initiatives (indirect spend, services, technology, marketing, etc.). Candidates with strictly direct materials or labor-only procurement backgrounds will not fit the scope.
• Tooling Proficiency: Hands-on operational experience using Asana to manage workflows, portfolios, custom fields, and reporting.
• Volume & Pressure: Ability to manage a fast-paced workload (~45 initiatives weekly) with high adaptability to shifting strategies and tight deadlines.
• Communication & Support: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills to train, support, and align non-technical stakeholders and international leads.
• Process Mindset: Strong attention to detail with a process-oriented approach to financial validation and workflow documentation.
