Procurement Specialist - Technology

Are you excited about the opportunity to help acquire cutting-edge technology that enhances safety, efficiency, accuracy, and profitability? Tyson Foods has emerged as a leading force in integrating technology, automation, and artificial intelligence (AI) into its enterprise and plant operations and Tyson's Technology Procurement is a key partner in this effort! At Tyson, Technology Procurement is right in the middle, working with our business partners to identify ways to maximize efficiency and quality while minimizing costs for our business. In this role you will work with other areas of the Tyson enterprise (business units, accounts payable, vendor control, architecture) as well as with our external suppliers to ensure that our business receives the services and support they require. Your focus will be to identify what needs to be done in order to "make the routine things happen routinely" and then work with stakeholders to streamline processes and leverage technology to automate as many processes as possible. We are looking for someone who demonstrates exceptional problem-solving skills, an analytical mindset, strong interpersonal skills, excellent written and verbal communication skills, and attention to detail. Knowledge and familiarity with SAP FICO, Coupa, ServiceNow, Workday, Flexera, Microsoft Office, Active Directory, Taulia, Okta, and Adobe products are desirable. We need people like you to be a part of this transformation! In this role you will ensure that our internal and external customers receive the service and support they need to operate, assist in identifying current and future state business processes, help the business stakeholders envision the future and understand how technology can help deliver better business results. You will report directly to the Head of Technology Procurement and will interact directly with critical internal and external stakeholders.
