• Support month-end close activities by reviewing open and stale purchase orders, helping gather accrual and spend data, and partnering with Finance and Accounting teams.
• Help maintain process documentation, decision trees, playbooks, and how-to guides.
• Look for recurring questions, trends, and process gaps, then recommend improvements that reduce repeat issues and improve efficiency.
• Partner closely with procurement operations and internal business teams to keep workflows organized and moving smoothly.
