- Facilitate governance reviews and ensure compliance with organizational policies and procedures.
- Collaborate with business and technical teams to improve workflows, automate processes, and enhance customer experience.
- Identify opportunities for process improvement, cost optimization, service enhancement, and operational efficiencies.
Required Experience
- 8+ years of experience supporting procurement, acquisition, service delivery, supplier management, marketplace operations, service catalog management, or related operational programs.
- Experience working in Federal, Department of Defense, or similarly regulated environments.

- Experience working with workflow automation, service catalog, IT service management, procurement, or customer relationship management platforms.
- Experience supporting process improvement, governance, organizational change management, or operational transformation initiatives.
- Familiarity with supplier diversity programs, strategic sourcing, licensing, contract administration, or lifecycle management activities.
- Experience supporting large-scale multi-vendor operational environments.
