About the Role

The Senior Analyst, Procurement Data & Systems plays a foundational role in building Fairfield's modern Procurement function. This role transforms procurement data into insights that drive smarter sourcing, supplier, and investment decisions while helping shape the systems and tools that will support procurement at scale. This is a foundational role in a Procurement function being built from the ground up. The person in this seat will shape how Procurement operates analytically, technologically, and operationally - building structure, visibility, and automation capability where none currently exists. It is designed for someone who thrives in greenfield environments and finds genuine satisfaction in creating order from complexity.

Growth and Career Path

The Procurement function at Fairfield is designed to scale deliberately over the next 18-36 months. This role is the foundation of what will become a Procurement Center of Excellence - covering spend analytics, supplier management, systems, and AI-enabled operations. As the function grows, high performers in this role will have the opportunity to take on expanded scope and potential leadership responsibility. The path forward will be determined by performance, demonstrated impact, and organizational need.
