About the Role
As a Procurement & Supply Chain Expert on this project, you will design realistic disruption scenarios based on your hands-on experience, define expected outcomes and mitigation strategies, and evaluate AI-generated recommendations for accuracy, completeness, and business relevance.

While each project involves unique tasks, contributors may:
- Designing realistic supply chain disruption scenarios (e.g. supplier delays, quantity changes, logistics issues, quality failures) grounded in real-world manufacturing and procurement contexts
- Defining expected outcomes and appropriate mitigation strategies for each scenario
- Evaluating AI-generated responses and recommendations against real-world business logic
- Assessing outputs for accuracy, completeness, and relevance within ERP environments (particularly Microsoft Dynamics 365, Coupa, Jaggaer, Ariba (SAP))
- Contributing to structured data creation and validation tasks following defined guidelines and frameworks
What we look for
- Minimum 4 years of hands-on experience in procurement, supply chain, or purchasing, ideally in a manufacturing environment
- Strong working knowledge of procurement workflows: purchase orders, vendor management, inventory, and production planning
- Hands-on experience with ERP systems such as SAP, Oracle, or Microsoft Dynamics 365
- Proven ability to design and reason through supply chain disruption scenarios and mitigation approaches
- Solid understanding of disruption types: delays, shortages, quality issues, and logistics challenges
- Knowledge of Incoterms and transportation/logistics management
- Familiarity with BOM structures and production planning processes
- Experience with supplier performance metrics (OTIF, lead times, quality scores)
- Analytical mindset with the ability to assess AI outputs against real-world business logic
- Experience with data validation, structured data entry, or annotation tasks
- Clear written communication in English
