Job Description

🚀 Senior Manager, Global Procurement Finance – Analytics & AI Focus

Location: Northbrook, IL

Hybrid Role | Pay Range: $120,000 - $150,000

Are you the kind of person who gets genuinely excited about predictive analytics, AI, and uncovering hidden insights in massive datasets? Do you love transforming raw data into powerful stories that drive real business decisions? If you’ve spent the last 7+ years as an analyst-especially in procurement or supply chain-and you're ready to roll up your sleeves and do rather than delegate, we want to meet you.

Stepan Company is investing heavily in advanced analytics and AI to revolutionize our global procurement strategy. Join our Procurement Center of Excellence and help us build the future of data-driven decision-making.

🧠 What You’ll Do

  • Be the AI & Stats Guru : Apply machine learning, predictive modeling, and statistical analysis to procurement data. Spot trends, forecast outcomes, and drive cost savings with precision.
  • Own the Analytics Roadmap : Lead the charge in evolving our analytics tech stack. Evaluate tools, manage RFPs, and ensure we’re ahead of the curve in predictive and prescriptive analytics.
  • Wrangle Complex Data : Work with large, messy datasets and make sense of it all. Clean, verify, and enrich our data with external sources to benchmark performance and uncover opportunities.
  • Visualize & Communicate : Use Power BI and Excel to build dashboards and visualizations that make complex insights digestible for stakeholders across the business.
  • Manage Tech & Vendors : Oversee procurement analytics platforms and software vendors. Ensure KPIs are met and relationships are productive.
  • Report What Matters : Deliver high-impact analytics for executive meetings. Own the savings pipeline reporting and validation process.

🧰 What You Bring

  • 7+ years as an analyst in procurement, supply chain, or finance.
  • Deep experience with large datasets and advanced statistical analysis.
  • Strong technical chops: Power BI, Excel (advanced), Python, machine learning.
  • Critical thinking and storytelling skills-make the data speak.
  • Experience managing third-party software vendors and implementations.
  • A hands-on, sleeves-up attitude. You’re a doer, not a delegator.

🎓 Education

  • Bachelor’s in Finance required
  • Master’s preferred
