What You’ll Do

You will deliver and implement Orpheus together with their strong delivery teams and in close collaboration with their consulting teams, as well as directly with clients.

A typical project involves the following steps Project scoping, data identification and extraction, data processing, engineering and enrichment, data cleansing and categorization, spend analysis and opportunity identification, handover, insights presentation, and capability building.

Your main expertise and responsibility will be data identification and extraction. Leveraging proprietary and third-party data-extraction tools (e.g. Snaplogic), you will identify spend relevant data from the general ledger, purchase order, material & supplier master, and other relevant tables within ERP or data/business warehouse applications.

You will ensure digital procurement assets, vendors, and processes adhere to our standards and that client information and data is safeguarded to the utmost level.
