Role Overview
We are seeking a solution-oriented Supplier Resolution Specialist to serve as the critical bridge between our external partners and internal departments. This role is the primary escalation point for complex payment and supply chain blockers. You will be responsible for navigating the "Procure-to-Pay" lifecycle to identify discrepancies, resolve mismatches, and drive process improvements that ensure seamless operational flow. The ideal candidate has a "Buyer" mindset with the analytical riger of an AP expert.
Key Responsibilities

• Purchase Order (PO) mismatches
• Unit price and quantity discrepancies
• Receiving and warehouse documentation gaps
• Invoice compliance hurdles
• Root Cause Analysis: Go beyond the "quick fix" to perform deep-dive analysis on recurring delays. Recommend and implement preventive solutions to enhance long-term operational efficiency.
• Stakeholder Coordination: Partner with diverse internal groups-from Maintenance and Fuel teams to Accounts Payable-to provide real-time updates and ensure accountability.
• Process Improvement: Support initiatives aimed at reducing repeat payment issues and streamlining the end-to-end supply chain workflow.
Qualifications & Requirements
• Experience: 3-5 years of professional experience in Procurement (Buyer experience highly preferred) or specialized Accounts Payable.
• Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of the Procure-to-Pay (P2P) process and common supplier friction points (pricing, receiving, and compliance).
• Software: * Advanced proficiency in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems; experience with Oracle PeopleSoft is a significant advantage.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel for data analysis and reporting.
• Communication: Exceptional written and verbal skills with the ability to influence stakeholders in a complex, fast-paced environment.
