Our Sourcing and Procurement practice helps to define & solve client challenges, build & inform strategies that enable C-suite priorities, and propel transformational change through driving efficiencies, reducing costs, and enhancing supply chain resilience.

• Synthesize complex and disparate data sources to transform and segment client spend, accurately outlining spend category financials.
• Execute diagnostics to identify savings opportunities based on market and industry intel.
• Develop impactful, informative client deliverables that define the current state, roadblocks, opportunities, and client actions for a range of industries, spend categories, and recommended strategies.
• Deliver savings through strategic sourcing initiatives, including spend analysis, benchmarking, RFPs, supplier negotiations, should-cost modeling, and other cost optimization methodologies.
• Sharpen your communications to effectively coordinate with your internal team as well as external clients and suppliers. Strong written and verbal communication is a must have.
• Build strong working partnerships with peers, consultants, subject matter experts, and practice leaders to execute engagements in a fast-paced environment and develop your advisory skillset.
• Collaborate with client stakeholders and strategic vendors.
• Embed AI into daily workflows, keeping pace with the changing landscape of tools and evolving practice processes. Analysts are expected to have high AI fluency and equal capability to rigorously design, revise, and validate AI outputs.

This role requires some travel, which typically includes a mix of onsite work with our clients and partners or team colocation in our Accenture offices to enable delivery and cultivate our client relationships.

While S&P has practitioners across the US and the world, our primary hubs are Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, and New York. Daily collaboration as well as training and team events are frequently conducted from these offices.

Please note that with all our roles, you should expect some in-person time for collaboration, learning and building relationships with clients, peers, leaders and communities. As an employer, we will be as flexible as possible to support your specific work/life needs.
