About the role
- Fastly is growing its Indirect Procurement team and is looking for a detail-oriented, highly motivated Procurement Operations Specialist.
- You will be the operational backbone of our purchasing process — managing purchase requests, owning contract execution, and safeguarding the integrity of our procurement data.
- Working India hours, you'll prepare and hand off work so our US-based negotiators and reviewers start each day ready to move.
Responsibilities
- Review every incoming Indirect Purchase Request (PR) in Coupa for completeness and accuracy.
- Return or reject PRs that lack required documentation, are coded incorrectly, or carry payment terms that don't match the negotiated agreement.
- Assign approved, "ready-to-negotiate" PRs to the appropriate US negotiator via the Coupa Assignee field.
- Partner with the Procurement Risk Coordinator, also based in Pune, to hand off any request that needs cross-functional review.
- Act as first approver for New Supplier Requests, confirming each request is complete and correctly documented.
- Flag potential duplicate or redundant suppliers to the Procurement Managers for review before onboarding begins.
- Partner with the Accounts Payable team to coordinate collection of supplier onboarding documents.
- Own the contract signature process for all Indirect purchases by confirming correct documents, signatories, and routing.
- Prepare and send DocuSign envelopes, ensuring every field is correctly tagged and the signature policy is followed.
- Ensure all fully executed agreements are filed correctly and that key metadata is captured in the contract tracking system.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in Procurement or Finance Operations.
- Ability to identify discrepancies between contract language and system data (particularly payment terms).
- An agile, self-starting mindset that thrives in a fast-paced environment and adjusts quickly to the changing priorities of a growth company.
- Comfortable working both independently and as part of a team.
- Excellent relationship-building skills that foster partnerships across departments, levels, time zones, and geographies.
- Excellent written and verbal communication including outreach to global suppliers and the confidence to respectfully hold internal stakeholders to process.
- Strong time- and project-management skills.
- Proficiency with Excel and Google Sheets.
- A sense of curiosity and a desire to learn every day.
