ROLE OVERVIEW
The Procurement Analyst IV (Team Lead) leads the day-to-day delivery of the client's procurement and asset operations — hardware purchasing and purchase-order processing, global asset lifecycle operations, asset administration and New Product Introduction (NPI) support. As a player-coach at Level IV, the role combines deep procurement expertise with team leadership: it owns the service levels for a team of procurement and asset analysts and, at roughly 673 transactions per month, keeps the hardware-procurement engine that feeds Astreya's downstream receiving and deployment work running accurately and on time.
The Team Lead allocates work and coverage, coaches and develops analysts, and acts as the first-line escalation point for complex purchase-order, pricing and asset issues. The role reports to the Service Delivery Manager and partners closely with Supplier & Vendor Management, the Catalogue and Pricing functions, Contracts and the SAM team to keep master data and supplier information consistent. As the incumbent, Astreya can build on established procurement processes, part-number conventions and supplier relationships to drive PO accuracy, cycle time and cost outcomes.
