About the Role & Team

IDC is implementing Zip as a global Intake-to-Pay solution — moving from a fragmented, non-PO environment to a controlled, policy-driven procurement model across approximately $140M in annual spend. The Procurement Operations Associate is a day-to-day operational backbone of this transformation: ensuring policy compliance, accurate PO execution, and supporting full adoption of Zip as the organization’s procurement platform. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives on helping people understand and navigate current systems, brings a teacher’s mindset to stakeholder support, and takes pride in running a clean, compliant P2P operation.

What You’ll Do
- Serve as the primary point of contact for employee inquiries regarding Zip, populate requisitions and POs correctly, and navigate approval workflows.
- Coordinate contract signature workflows between vendors, legal, and business stakeholders.
- Manage PO amendments and change orders — increasing PO values or closing POs based on business conversations.




- Review and validate purchase requests to ensure compliance with approval thresholds, competitive bidding requirements, and procurement policy.
- Track open PO balances and provide ongoing reporting on accruals and open purchase orders; manage the renewal tracking module and proactively flag upcoming contract expirations.
- Maintain preferred vendor lists, catalogs, and procurement categories in coordination with the business.
- Monitor spend trends, flag compliance gaps or anomalies, and audit system activity to ensure Zip is being used appropriately across the organization.

What You Bring
- 3–5 years of relevant experience in procurement operations, accounts payable, finance operations, or a related field; equivalent hands-on experience will be considered in lieu of formal credentials. S4-level candidates should demonstrate the ability to independently own process areas, drive continuous improvement, and support broader regional
