Job Description
Infosys Portland is a part of the family of brands that make up Infosys who was ranked #3 in Forbes ‘”World’s best regarded companies”. Every day our team is part of a larger organization that our clients are proud to be associated with. Due to upcoming demand in our business and career progression, we are looking for individuals to join our team and make a difference for our clients.
About Infosys BPM:
Infosys Portland partners with our clients to solve their most complex and challenging procurement and supply chain problems. We combine our specialist expertise with consulting rigour, leading technologies and proven services to get things done, deliver sustainable value and guide our clients into the future.
THE POSITION
We are currently recruiting a small number of leaders in our digital procurement practice. High performing procurement functions are enabled by technology and hyper-efficient operations so that procurement team members and their customers can quickly and easily do their jobs. Infosys Portland’s digital procurement practice helps clients with all aspects of digitalizing procurement regardless of the stage they are at, including:
- Digital procurement strategy
- Technology selection
- Implementation optimization
- Optimization / Remediation
We are looking for people who can provide true subject matter expertise and guidance to clients as they navigate their digitalization journey. To be able to do this, we would expect the following experience:
- Procurement technology implementations. We need people with “scars” from previous implementations. Often the devil is in the detail so we need people who have a true appreciation of what can go wrong as well as what works well
- Technology and data. We don’t necessarily need true technologists or data architects but we do need people who have worked in and around technology for many years. We need people who understand where and how technology can help, its limitations and how data is captured, stored and used
- Process design. An understanding of procurement processes is key. How to identify and document existing procurement processes and how to design better processes
- Other non-technology enablers. We all know that technology alone doesn’t solve anything. We need people with a holistic understanding of how non-technology factors are critical to success, such as policy, people and organization.
In addition to the above expertise, we need our leaders to be capable of using their expertise and experience to help grow the practice in EMEA and North America by leveraging the Infosys ecosystem and/or developing opportunities independently, while growing and mentoring the team.
EDUCATION
- qualification in engineering, business, computer science, etc.
- graduate qualifications would be advantageous.
EXPERIENCE & COMPETENCE NECESSARY
- 6-10 years’ consulting experience in procurement and/or supply chain including system implementation experience.
- Proven experience managing own projects and leading teams.
- Strong business development experience and ability to generate new leads.
- analytical skills
- Excellent management skills with the ability to lead, grow and develop your team.
- Demonstrated people management skills, including coaching of both junior employees and client staff.
