Key Responsibilities Manage and understand day-to-day procurement and purchase-to-pay processes. Review existing procurement workflows and identify repetitive manual activities. Design and implement automation solutions for procurement-related processes. Automate document processing, supplier information, purchase requests, quotations, purchase orders, invoices and related records. Explore ways to automate data extraction from invoices, quotations and other procurement documents. Improve approval and transaction workflows to reduce manual intervention and processing time. Develop automated tracking and reporting systems for procurement activities. Use AI and automation tools to improve procurement documentation and communication. Maintain accurate supplier, pricing and procurement master data. Work with the construction team to understand operational requirements and convert them into practical automated workflows.
