The role receives the request, validates that the money and the supplier are in order before anything is committed, raises the requisition, drives it through approval, and keeps the resulting order and its accruals accurate until the work is invoiced and closed.\nIn this role, you will lead the purchase-order lifecycle for professional services, including consulting, contingent labor, and project-based engagements. Unlike hardware procurement, which relies on physical goods receipts, services purchasing requires precision in managing milestones, rate cards, and time-based billing. Because service costs are recognized through general ledger and cost-centre allocations, your meticulous attention to coding, budget, and commercial terms serves as the primary financial control, ensuring accuracy before costs are finalized at month-end.\nKEY RESPONSIBILITIES\n1. Request Intake & Validation\nCollect professional services purchase-order requests, review each for completeness, and follow up with the requester where information is missing rather than raising an incomplete requisition.\nValidate budget availability, supplier eligibility and compliance status before any commitment is created.\nConfirm general ledger account, cost centre and spend category coding are correct for services spend, since this determines how the cost is recognised.\nCheck that the commercial basis is clear - fixed price, milestone, rate card or time and materials - and that the supporting statement of work or quote supports the value requested.\nIdentify requests that are not in fact services purchasing and route them to the correct path.\n2. Requisition Creation & Approval Tracking\nCreate the purchase requisition in the procurement system with complete, accurate detail and correct supplier and coding references.\nSubmit and monitor approvals, following up with approvers and escalating where an approval stalls rather than letting it age silently.\nManage edits and modifications - review approver comments, amend the requisition and reprocess the change.\nConfirm submission back to the requester, update the tracker and log the transaction data.\nKeep the requester informed at each stage, since services requests usually have a start date someone is planning around.\n3. Purchase Order Processing & Financial Alignment\nSave and circulate the purchase order once the requisition is approved and the order generated, and update the tracker and records.\nMaintain accruals so that committed but uninvoiced services spend stays current, working to the finance calendar.\nSupport downstream invoice matching and resolve queries where an invoice does not reconcile to the order or the agreed commercial basis.\nInvestigate orders that are out of funds and raise the uplift or amendment needed before delivery is interrupted.\nArchive purchase orders and maintain a complete, retrievable record set for audit.\n4. Tracking, Reporting & Continuous Improvement\nMonitor acknowledgment and completion timing against the agreed service levels and act before a target is missed.\nReport cycle time and error rates, and work the trends rather than the individual exceptions.\nMaintain quality and error reporting, feeding recurring causes back into the procedure.\nKeep procedures and templates current as the service scales and as systems change.\nIdentify repeatable steps suitable for automation and support their implementation.\nPERFORMANCE & SERVICE LEVELS\nIndicative performance targets for the role; final service levels are confirmed on engagement and measured per service line.\nRequisition Accuracy: sustain ≥99% accuracy on coding, supplier, value and commercial basis before a requisition is routed for approval.\nTurnaround: acknowledge and process requests within the agreed windows, with urgent requests prioritised.\nApproval Progression: no approval left ageing without follow-up or escalation.\nAccrual Currency: accruals complete and accurate for 100% of open services orders each finance period.\nFunds Continuity: zero service interruptions caused by an order running out of funds without warning.\nDocumentation: 100% of orders archived with a complete, retrievable record.\nFirst Meaningful Response: provide a meaningful technical update on 90% of requests within 2 business hours.\nTicket Quality: sustain ≥95% against the weighted quality scorecard, which is weighted toward technical accuracy, then completeness, timeliness and communication.\nCustomer Satisfaction: sustain ≥95% of responses rated Excellent or Good.\nTOOLS & SYSTEMS\nProcurement platform: requisition creation, approval workflow and purchase order generation for services categories.\nERP and finance systems: SAP for orders, spend records and accrual maintenance.\nTicketing and intake: enterprise ticketing for request lifecycle, tracking and audit trail.\nReporting: spreadsheet and BI tooling for cycle-time, error and accrual reporting.\nREQUIRED SKILLS & EXPERIENCE\nMandatory\n2-5+ years in indirect or services procurement, procure-to-pay, or purchase-order operations in a shared-services environment.\nHands-on requisition and purchase-order creation in a procurement platform and ERP.\nUnderstanding of how services purchasing differs from goods - statement-of-work basis, milestone and rate-card billing, and the absence of a goods receipt to match against.\nAccurate general ledger, cost-centre and category coding, with the judgement to question coding that looks wrong.\nExposure to accruals and the month-end cycle, and comfort working to a finance calendar.\nClear English communication with requesters, approvers, suppliers and finance.\nWilling and able to work a shift-based roster, including night shifts, from the Hyderabad delivery centre.\nPreferred\nSAP Materials Management or Procure-to-Pay experience.\nExperience in a services category such as consulting, contingent labour, facilities or marketing.\nTwo-way and three-way matching exposure and invoice exception handling.\nContract or statement-of-work review exposure.\nSpreadsheet automation or scripting applied to tracker and reporting work.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6263,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Upper-Intermediate (B2)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Supply Chain","IT Infrastructure & Networking Services","IT Help Desk & Service Desk"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-28T22:04:29Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":28,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.514,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":22,"expected_fill_days":19,"reasons":["conf:11","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-21T05:46:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/astreya-professional-services-procurement-analyst-ii","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/astreya-professional-services-procurement-analyst-ii.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-21T08:39:11Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":12282,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-22T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1707},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1707"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fastreya-professional-services-procurement-analyst-ii"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fastreya-professional-services-procurement-analyst-ii"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fastreya-professional-services-procurement-analyst-ii"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/astreya-professional-services-procurement-analyst-ii\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fastreya-professional-services-procurement-analyst-ii"}]}
