2. Design, execute, and track cost reduction and value optimization programs, including strategic sourcing, supplier rationalization, should-costing, and demand optimization initiatives.


3. Conduct detailed spend analysis, identify savings levers, and develop implementation-ready recommendations aligned with business and regulatory constraints.


4. Engage closely with client stakeholders, procurement teams, and functional leaders to gather inputs, validate hypotheses, and support decision-making.


5. Support execution and monitoring of procurement transformation and savings initiatives, ensuring measurable and sustainable outcomes.


6. Prepare high-quality presentations, reports, dashboards, and documentation for both internal and client-facing forums.


7. Ensure timely delivery of all project outputs, proactively identify and escalate risks, and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
