Position Overview

The Senior Procurement Analyst will report directly to the Procurement Data Domain Manager within Kiewit Data Services (KDS). It is a high-impact, hands-on technical role designed for a driven professional who can deliver sophisticated analytical solutions today and grow into strategic data leadership.

Responsibilities

Analytical Solution Delivery:

* Partner with business stakeholders to understand challenges and translate into solutions

* Develop a deep understanding of the data sources and applications used to collect them

Data Modeling, Engineering, and Analysis:

You will work with data that is often unstructured, inconsistent, or spread across disparate systems. You are expected to be highly self-sufficient in sourcing, cleaning, and restructuring data, and to go beyond reporting to generate strategic recommendations.

* Investigate and resolve data discrepancies

* Lead requirement-gathering conversations with stakeholders, asking insightful questions to understand business context

* Communicate findings and designs clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences

* Train stakeholders on tools and decision-support products; collect feedback for iteration

Strategic Growth and Leadership Readiness:

* Participate in roadmap discussions; contribute ideas for prioritization and data strategy

* Identify high-value problems proactively and pursue them without being told

* Mentor and contribute to a culture of curiosity, rigor, and continuous improvement

* Develop deep functional knowledge of your assigned domain

Qualifications

* Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Business, Economics, or a related field

* 5+ years of experience in data analytics, data engineering, or a closely related field
