Job Title

Procurement Lead - Indirect Procurement

Job Description

The Procurement Lead – Indirect Procurement is responsible for sourcing and managing non-material spend categories including MRO, capital equipment, engineering and facility services, laboratory supplies and instruments, IT, professional services, logistics and site operating services. The role owns the end-to-end indirect procurement cycle: demand clarification with technical stakeholders, competitive sourcing, negotiation, contracting and transaction execution within the ERP system (SAP). Unlike direct procurement, indirect spend is fragmented, specification-ambiguous and stakeholder-driven. The role therefore requires strong analytical judgment, structured problem solving and the ability to convert unclear or incomplete requirements into a defensible sourcing decision. The incumbent is expected to operate both strategically — category planning, spend consolidation, supplier rationalization and savings pipeline management — and tactically — requisition-to-PO execution, expediting, and PO–GRN–invoice resolution — while continuously improving the underlying process. To perform this position successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. The requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge, skill and/or ability required. • Shall adhere to all regulatory requirements, including Health Canada, EPA, and related safety, health and environmental procedures, policies and practices. • Consistent support and practice of all Piramal's mission and values. • Identify and protect original technical information as part of company property.

Strategic & Category Management

  • Build and maintain category profiles for assigned indirect spend: spend baseline, supplier landscape, cost drivers, contract coverage and consolidation opportunities.
  • Develop and execute annual sourcing plans and a tracked savings pipeline; report realized versus targeted savings.
  • Reduce tail spend and supplier fragmentation through rationalization, preferred-supplier programs and catalog / blanket order structures.
  • Support capital project and new business costing with sourced, benchmarked indirect cost inputs.

Sourcing & Negotiation

  • Run competitive RFI / RFQ / RFP events: define scope of work with stakeholders, normalize bids on a like-for-like basis and recommend award with documented rationale.
  • Negotiate price, payment terms, service levels, warranty and total cost of ownership; manage bid waiver justification where competition is not feasible.
  • Coordinate with Legal, Quality, EHS and IT on contracts, MSAs, service agreements and required compliance documentation.
  • Evaluate, qualify and onboard new suppliers based on capability, reliability and cost-effectiveness to expand and de-risk the supply base.

Analytical

  • Perform spend analytics, price-variance analysis, should-cost and total cost of ownership modeling, and market benchmarking to identify savings and leakage.
  • Extract and structure SAP purchasing data; build and maintain recurring dashboards and reporting for spend, savings, cycle time and PO compliance.
  • Translate analysis into a clear recommendation with quantified impact, and state risks and assumptions separately.
  • Perform pertinent unit and currency conversions as they pertain to unit price, quantity and total price.

Tactical Execution

  • Process purchase requisitions to purchase orders in SAP, ensuring correct material / service master, cost center, GL account, tax treatment and approval routing.
  • Own PO–GRN–invoice three-way match resolution and workflow exception clearance; drive down aged open items.
  • Expedite critical orders and communicate revised commitments proactively to stakeholders.
  • Maintain complete and audit-ready purchasing documentation (quotes, bid comparisons, award justification, POs, acknowledgements and correspondence) in an organized manner.
  • Apply functional understanding of trade compliance as it pertains to transportation of goods and services, including Harmonized Tariff Schedule codes and Incoterms.

Process Improvement

  • Identify and eliminate process defects across the requisition-to-pay cycle; apply structured problem solving (DMAIC, root cause analysis) to recurring issues.
  • Improve requisition quality at source through stakeholder guidance, templates and specification standards.
  • Standardize and automate recurring reporting and manual steps using Excel and available digital tools.
  • Support master data accuracy and governance for indirect materials and services.

Complex Situation Handling & Stakeholder Management

  • Resolve conflict and ambiguity across specification, lead time, price, scope creep and supplier performance disputes.
  • Manage urgent, unplanned and single-source situations under time pressure while maintaining compliance and documentation standards.
  • Escalate supply, cost and compliance risks with a proposed mitigation, not only the issue.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Maintenance, QC, QA, Operations, IT, Facilities, EHS and Finance to align procurement activity with business objectives.

Supplier Performance

  • Evaluate suppliers on delivery timeliness, quality, responsiveness, service level and adherence to contractual terms.
  • Conduct periodic business reviews with key suppliers and drive corrective action with underperformers.
