Job Description

Advanced Specialist, Procurement

Help shape smarter procurement decisions by turning complex spend and supplier data into clear insight, while supporting Pearson’s environmental, social value and responsible sourcing priorities.

Also known in the market as: Procurement Data Analyst; Procurement Intelligence Analyst; Spend Analyst; Responsible Procurement Analyst; ESG & Procurement Analyst.

About the Role

Pearson is looking for an Advanced Specialist, Procurement Operations & Intelligence to join an evolving global procurement function. This is an early-career opportunity for someone who enjoys working with data, asking good questions and turning complex information into practical insight.

You will support spend reporting, supplier intelligence, sourcing activity and responsible procurement work. A key part of the role is helping the team respond to stakeholder and bid questions about the supply chain, environmental sustainability and social value.

You do not need to be a traditional procurement specialist. We are open to candidates from procurement, data analytics, ESG, sustainability or social value backgrounds who are proactive, comfortable learning and keen to contribute across varied projects.

What You’ll Do

  • Maintain and improve the quality of procurement data across supplier, spend and contract records.
  • Build and interpret spend reports and dashboards for procurement leaders and stakeholders.
  • Support sourcing activity with baseline analysis, bid evaluation models and supplier insight.
  • Produce supplier segmentation, scorecards and performance reporting.
  • Collect and report supplier sustainability information, including environmental and social value data.
  • Support government and other bids by answering supply-chain and responsible-procurement questions.
  • Provide category and market intelligence to support negotiations and sourcing decisions.
  • Identify opportunities to improve and automate source-to-pay processes.

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong Excel capability and confidence working with large, complex datasets.
  • Ability to interpret data, identify useful insight and communicate findings clearly.
  • Understanding of environmental sustainability, ESG or social value topics.
  • Around one to three years of experience in a corporate environment, or equivalent relevant experience.
  • A proactive and adaptable approach, with the confidence to learn new tools and take on varied work.
  • Strong interpersonal and stakeholder-management skills.
  • Experience in procurement operations, analytics, supplier management or a transferable analytical role.
  • Familiarity with Power BI or Tableau is useful; Tableau can be learned in role.
  • CIPS study or qualification, sourcing-event support, supplier due diligence or ESG reporting exposure is helpful but not essential.
  • An interest in AI-enabled working and process improvement.

Location & Working Pattern

Hybrid. The role may be based in London, UK or Bangalore, IN. There are no fixed office days, but candidates should be within practical travelling distance of the relevant office for occasional team collaboration.

Why Join Pearson?

You will join a supportive procurement team at a point of organisational change, with exposure to large-scale data, responsible procurement, bids and transformation activity. The role offers breadth, development and the chance to build practical experience across analytics, sustainability and supplier insight.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
