Job description

Nutrien is a leading provider of crop inputs and services, and our business results make a positive impact on the world. Our purpose, Feeding the Future , is the reason we come to work each day. We're guided by our culture of care and our core values: We put safety first. We act with integrity. We are stronger together. We deliver with excellence.

Through the collective expertise of our nearly 26,000 employees, we operate a world-class network of production, distribution, and ag retail facilities. We efficiently serve growers' needs and strive to provide a more profitable, sustainable, and secure future for all stakeholders.  Help us raise the expectation of what an agriculture company can be and grow your career with Nutrien.

We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Senior Analyst to lead the end-to-end governance, tracking, and reporting of value delivered by the Procurement function. This role is accountable for ensuring transparent, accurate, and consistent measurement of procurement value—including cost savings, cost avoidance, and other value levers—while leveraging advanced data analytics to support identification and prioritization of value-driving initiatives.

The Senior Analyst will partner closely with Category Management, Site Procurement Operations, Finance, and Business stakeholders to align value recognition with organizational objectives, financial policies, and strategic priorities. This role requires strong analytical rigor, sound judgment, and the ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders through clear insights and well-governed processes.

What You'll Do

• Value Capture & Reporting

• Own and continuously improve the process to capture, validate, and report Procurement‑generated value (e.g., cost savings, cost avoidance, process efficiencies, risk mitigation).

• Partner with Procurement and Finance to ensure savings are aligned with budget expectations and financial recognition policies.

• Consolidate and report value delivery performance through dashboards and executive‑ready reports.

• Governance & Data Integrity

• Maintain and evolve governance standards, policies, and methodologies related to value tracking and reporting (e.g., definitions of hard vs. soft savings).

• Perform periodic reviews to ensure data accuracy, consistency, and compliance with internal guidelines.

• Serve as the primary gatekeeper for Procurement value data across internal systems and tools.

• Process Improvement & Enablement

• Develop and enhance tools, templates, and processes to improve value tracking and reporting consistency.

• Train Procurement team members on value capture methodologies and data submission protocols.

• Evaluate and support implementation of digital solutions or platforms to automate data collection and reporting.

• Data Analytics

• Analyze and steward historical and current spend data by category and site to support sourcing strategies, value opportunities, and forward‑looking insights.

• Design, develop, and maintain advanced Procurement analytics, models, and dashboards to support spend analysis, value delivery tracking, supplier performance management, inventory optimization, and contract compliance.
• Integrate internal Procurement and supplier data with external market intelligence to assess commodity trends, supplier dynamics, and supply chain risks.
• Apply advanced analytical techniques—including scenario analysis, forecasting, and what‑if modeling—to inform sourcing decisions, supplier negotiations, and execution strategies.

• Translate complex analytical outputs into clear, actionable insights for Procurement and business stakeholders.

• Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Act as a liaison between Procurement, Finance, and business units to manage the end‑to‑end value reporting process.

• Support strategic initiatives (e.g., supplier negotiations, sourcing events) by modeling potential value outcomes.
• Serve as a go‑to resource for all queries related to value definitions, calculations, models, tools, and approval processes.

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree or diploma in Business, Supply Chain Management, Engineering, Finance, or a related field.
• 6+ years of experience in Procurement, Supply Chain, Business Analysis, or related business roles.
• Strong understanding of Procurement processes and value levers (sourcing, negotiation, contract management, etc.).
• Demonstrated experience in Procurement Value modeling including should-cost models, TCO (total cost of ownership) models etc. and integrating market intelligence data into value calculation.
• Experience with ERP systems and procurement tools such as SAP ECC, SAP S4, Oracle or PeopleSoft.
• MBA or Master's degree with a concentration in Supply Chain or Procurement is preffered.
• Professional certifications in Supply Chain such as SCMP, or analytics certifications such as CAIP – Certified Analytics & Insights Professional is preffered.
• Experience standing up Value Governance and Reporting framework in a large-cap organization is preffered.
• Experience in implementing a digital solution or platform to automate data collection and reporting is preffered.
