As a Senior AI Data Strategist within Global Procurement, you will lead the reimagination of the procurement data landscape so that agentic AI can execute Source-to-Pay work reliably, safely, and at scale. This is a hands-on strategy and design role for a solid problem solver who thrives on untangling complex, cross-system data challenges. You will translate business intent into a data operating model where agents detect, enrich, route, and maintain data, and where humans focus on exception handling, governance, and continuous improvement. Data readiness is the single largest constraint to unlocking agentic AI value in procurement. Success in this role is defined by whether prioritized agentic workflows actually run on trusted, agent-consumable data, and whether the data foundation continues to strengthen itself through automated feedback loops rather than manual clean-up cycles. This is not an IT role , but you will work alongside IT, Data Excellence, Security, and Compliance groups. You will help ensure the data strategy aligns with enterprise data platforms, Enterprise Resource Planning readiness, approved connectors, and enterprise data governance standards. Key Responsibilities A core expectation is to move the procurement data function from reactive clean-up to an agent-embedded, self-improving operating model. Data Strategy and Reimagined Operating Model Reimagine the Data Governance and Excellence operating model with agents embedded. Redefine how policies, data quality monitoring, lineage, stewardship, and lifecycle management operate when agents handle detection, enrichment, routing, and maintenance, and where human roles shift to exception handling and governance. Define the target working model, the agentic patterns that apply to data governance (for example, data quality agent, lineage agent, maintenance agent, steward copilot), and a getting-started roadmap sequenced against Enterprise Resource Planning and transformation milestones. Data Readiness for Agentic Workflows Partner with agent build leads to define exactly what data elements, quality thresholds, and validation rules each agent needs to operate reliably, and map every business requirement to a data source, owner, and readiness action. Close gaps in master data element coverage so that lineage, definitions, and ownership are complete and agent-consumable, and stand up a searchable data dictionary and glossary that both humans and agents can query. Design the feedback loop between agent, source system, and steward so that data validation, correction, and prevention happen without manual human touch wherever feasible. Data Lineage, Mapping, and Technical Foundations Build the working-level technical foundations that make the agentic model possible: data lineage, relationships, schema, and cross-system mapping so that downstream impact is traceable before a change lands. Establish documentation, versioning, change history, and downstream impact analysis designed so that agents can consume and update them as first-class users of the data catalog. Define control points at the point of entry, and prioritize Critical Data Elements that drive downstream procurement value. Governance, Policy, and Enterprise Partnership Partner with IT, Data Excellence, Security, and Compliance to align the data strategy with enterprise controls, sensitivity labels, data loss prevention requirements, and approved connectors so that agents can access the data they need without breaking guardrails. Contribute to lightweight, machine-readable policies and standards that agents can enforce automatically, shifting go…
