Job description Info about the team The Supply Chain Operations team covers all regions and business areas across Brevan Howard, making this a diverse role that continually gives a different feel to every day. The wider Procurement, TPRM and ERP team has people based in London, New York, Jersey and Singapore. We are looking for a detail-oriented and analytically minded Supply Chain Operations Analyst to join the Supply Chain Operations team in Bengaluru. This is a broad, cross-functional role sitting at the intersection of Procurement Operations, Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM), Procure-to-Pay (P2P), Procurement, and ERP & Technical Systems. You will act as a key operational backbone, ensuring supplier relationships are sound, purchasing processes run smoothly, risks are proactively managed, and the systems underpinning the supply chain function are optimised and well-supported. The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience across at least two of the five core pillars, with a particular interest in how technology and data can drive procurement efficiency. You will collaborate closely with Finance, Legal, Compliance, IT, and business unit owners to deliver against shared supply chain objectives. MAIN DUTIES/RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE ROLE: Essential Responsibilities: Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) Manage the day-to-day TPRM queue chasing outstanding vendor submissions, following up on incomplete questionnaires and keeping intake records current and accurate. Maintain vendor profiles in the TPRM tool updating contact details, contract information, tier classifications and scheduled review dates to ensure the platform reflects the current vendor population. Coordinate the distribution of TPRM questionnaires to vendors and track completion, escalating outstanding or stalled items to the Head of TPRM in line with agreed thresholds. Prepare standard TPRM MI packs — pulling completion rates, outstanding review counts and overdue items from the TPRM tool and formatting for review and sign-off by the Head of TPRM. Support continuous vendor monitoring — reviewing automated alerts, updating vendor risk profiles in the TPRM tool when flags are raised and escalating material changes in a vendor's risk posture to the Head of TPRM for review and decision. Maintain the action log arising from risk assessments — tracking remediation items, chasing updates from vendors or internal stakeholders and flagging overdue actions for escalation. Provide administrative support for internal and external audits relating to third-party oversight — retrieving records, collating evidence and preparing documentation as directed. Procurement Operations Own and optimise day-to-day procurement operational processes, including catalogue management, approval workflows, and policy compliance monitoring. Identify, document, and drive process improvement initiatives across the procurement function, leveraging automation and system enhancements where possible. Produce regular reporting and dashboards on procurement KPIs, SLAs, spend analytics, and supplier performance. Act as a subject-matter expert on procurement systems (e.g. Workday, Zip), supporting user adoption and training. Collaborate with IT and Finance on system upgrades, integrations, and change management activities. Procurement Support Procurement managers throughout the sourcing lifecycle, including RFx preparation, supplier evaluation, and contract execution. Assist in maintaining procurement pipelines and activity trackers, ensuring visibility of upcoming renewals, sourcing events, and spend commitments. Assist with the upkeep of Procurement-led AI systems such as Lightyear and Tropic. Conduct supplier market analysis and benchmarking to support negotiation strategies and category planning. Support savings tracking against procurement targets, including from tail spend categories. Procure-to-Pay (P2P) Serve as a first point of escalation for P2P queries from internal stakeholders, resolving purchase order issues, invoice discrepancies, and payment queries in a timely manner. Monitor open PO reports and aged invoices, taking proactive action to clear backlogs and prevent payment delays. Support the implementation and continuous improvement of P2P policy and procedures, ensuring compliance across the business. Train and support end-users on P2P processes, system navigation, and procurement policy requirements. Where invoices have been raised before a PO exists, raise the PO if requested by the Procurement Manager.. ERP & Technical Systems Act as a systems super-user and subject-matter expert for the procurement and finance technology stack — Zip, Workday, Concur, and Adaptive — supporting configuration, testing, and ongoing optimisation. Manage and maintain master data within ERP systems, including supplier records, item catalogues, cost centres, and approval hierarchies. Liaise with stakeholders to log, track, and resolve system issues, enhancements, and change requests, ensuring procurement operations are not disrupted. Lead or support ERP upgrades, system migrations, and new module implementations, acting as the functional workstream representative in project teams. Develop and maintain system documentation including process guides, SOPs, and user training materials for procurement-related system workflows. Identify automation and integration opportunities and work with the integrations team to scope and deliver them. Reporting & Cross-Functional Process Oversight Produce and maintain cross-functional operational reporting across the end-to-end supply chain lifecycle, spanning Procurement, TPRM, P2P, ERP workflows, and supplier operations. Develop management information (MI), dashboards, and operational metrics that provide visibility into process performance, bottlenecks, delays, SLA adherence, and operational risk across teams. Analyse operational workflows across interconnected functions to identify inefficiencies, duplication of effort, process silos, and breakdowns in handoffs between teams. Highlight trends, recurring issues, and process constraints to management, providing clear recommendations for remediation and continuous improvement. Track remediation actions arising from operational reviews, reporting on progress, ownership, and outstanding issues to relevant stakeholders. Use data analysis and system insights to proactively identify opportunities for automation, optimisation, and improved operational efficiency across the wider supply chain function.
