As we continue to scale our global platform, the Procurement Operations Specialist will play a critical role in driving procurement accuracy, vendor operations integrity, and controls across Major Events and Event Operations.
ROLE OVERVIEW
The Procurement Operations Specialist sits within the Major Events sub-department of Event Operations and serves as the operational backbone supporting event teams across the full purchase order lifecycle — from vendor onboarding and PO creation through invoice reconciliation and month-end close activities. This role acts as the key liaison between Event Operations and the Accounting and Finance organization, ensuring all vendor, purchasing, and spend-related activity is accurate, compliant, and timely. The Finance Operations Analyst delivers business and fan impact through BOLD leadership and execution excellence, leveraging data, automation, and AI-enabled insights.
HOW WILL YOU DRIVE IMPACT
Success is measured by the ability to deliver results through BOLD capabilities and measurable outcomes.
Team & Leadership Impact (Build Championship Teams)
- Partner cross-functionally with Operations, Event Teams, Accounting, Finance, Accounts Payable, and vendors to ensure alignment and smooth execution across all purchasing and financial operations activities.
- Serve as the primary point of contact for event teams on purchasing and financial process questions, removing operational roadblocks and enabling teams to move quickly and accurately.
- Coordinate with cross-functional partners to ensure operational and financial readiness for events, projects, and business initiatives.
Fan & Customer Impact (Obsessed with Fans)
- Support the delivery of seamless fan-facing major events and event activations by ensuring financial and operational infrastructure is accurate, compliant, and ready to perform.
- Resolve vendor and invoice discrepancies quickly and thoroughly so that operational teams can focus on executing exceptional fan experiences without financial disruption.
- Maintain organized vendor documentation and purchase order records that enable event teams to operate with confidence and speed at events.
- Provide timely spend tracking and reporting that gives Operations and Finance leadership the visibility they need to make fan-first decisions.
Innovation & Problem Solving (Limitless Entrepreneurial Spirit)
- Develop, document, and continuously improve procurement, purchasing, and financial operations processes to drive consistency, compliance, and operational efficiency.
- Identify process improvement opportunities, recommend solutions, and implement best practices to strengthen financial controls and reduce manual effort.
- Leverage finance and procurement systems — including platforms such as SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, or Coupa — to drive automation, accuracy, and scalability across the PO and vendor lifecycle.
- Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement by proactively surfacing inefficiencies and proposing data-driven solutions.
Ownership & Execution (Determined & Relentless Mindset)
- Own the end-to-end purchase order lifecycle, including PO creation, submission, approvals, status tracking, revisions, and closeout, with a high degree of accuracy and compliance.
- Own the vendor onboarding process, ensuring all vendors are properly established, documented, and maintained within company systems.
- Support month-end and year-end close activities by tracking outstanding invoices, accruals, and open commitments to enable accurate and timely financial reporting.
- Prepare and maintain reporting on vendor status, PO activity, invoice processing, spend tracking, accruals, and reconciliations to support Operations and Finance leadership.
AI & DIGITAL CAPABILITY
We are building a future-ready organization. This role is expected to:
- Apply AI and technology to improve efficiency, quality, and outcomes
- Use data and digital tools to inform decisions and enhance performance
- Demonstrate curiosity and adaptability in adopting new technologies and ways of working
- Contribute to a culture of innovation and continuous improvement
