Your Job
The Sourcing Center of Excellence (CoE) Analyst helps to enable the rapid transformation of our sourcing capability. Based in Wichita, KS, you will help drive change across Source-to-Pay by identifying the root causes of challenges, supporting adoption of new processes, systems, tools, and AI, and developing training and resources that help changes stick.
Our goal is to be an enabler of change and growth for the sourcing organization, helping the organization move from reactive to proactive. You will partner closely with Sourcing Analysts and Category Managers, using their experiences and feedback to identify opportunities for improvement and shape how we evolve. This is an entry-level CoE role, and we do not expect you to be a subject matter expert on day one. You will build your knowledge over time through exposure to systems, tools, data, and sourcing processes, with support and coaching from CoE Leads.
The ideal candidate is curious about how people work, asks thoughtful questions before proposing solutions, and approaches Sourcing Analysts and Category Managers with a customer-focused mindset. They seek and share feedback, learn from both successes and setbacks, and openly share knowledge to help the broader team improve.
