A fast-growing AI company in the procurement technology space is looking for an Operations Specialist to own the data and supplier‑coordination layer that keeps its platform delivering for enterprise customers. The role is roughly 60% Excel-based data work – cleaning, structuring, and validating supplier, product, and quantity data so sourcing events run without error – and 40% phone and email follow‑up with existing US-based suppliers to keep them engaged on the platform.

Success means owning a client account end to end within 90 days, running the back‑end work and communication independently.

• Conducting outbound phone calls and email follow‑up with US‑based suppliers.
• Owning client accounts end to end.

• 1–2+ years of hands‑on Microsoft Excel experience in a professional work environment (pivot tables, VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP, INDEX MATCH, IF formulas).
• Demonstrated experience cleaning, normalizing, and validating datasets using formula-based methods (no hard‑coded values), including sanity‑checking data quality and comparing extracted data against source documents.
• Experience building structured, replicable Excel models that others can follow.
• Experience conducting outbound phone calls to US‑based suppliers, vendors, or business contacts in a professional capacity.
• C1+ English (CEFR) – spoken and written – for direct phone communication with US-based suppliers.
• Located in LATAM and able to work within one hour of US Eastern Time.

• 1–2 years in management consulting or at a boutique advisory firm.
• Hands‑on procurement or supply chain experience (tactical purchasing, operational supplier relationship management).
• Python for data manipulation or automation.
• Prior exposure to e‑procurement or sourcing platforms.

• Competitive salary based on experience and skills.
• Fully remote – work from anywhere.
• Recognition for maintaining 100% CRM hygiene and on‑time reporting.
• Generous PTO in accordance with company policy.
• Health coverage for PH-based talents: HMO coverage after 3 months for full‑time employees.
• Direct mentorship from industry experts.
• Learning & development opportunities.
• Global networking opportunities.
