VENDOR ANALYST — SUBCONTRACTOR & STAFFING PARTNERS REPORTS TO: VENDOR MANAGER, SUBCONTRACTOR & STAFFING PARTNERS DEPARTMENT: [VENDOR MANAGEMENT / PROCUREMENT] JOB TYPE: FULL-TIME, PERMANENT TRAVEL: MINIMAL — OCCASIONAL TRAVEL FOR PARTNER REVIEWS
Role purpose
The Vendor Analyst is the data and operations engine behind Astreya's subcontractor and staffing-partner programme. You maintain the vendor master data, compliance records and spend reporting that the Vendor Manager relies on to negotiate, govern and — where necessary — exit partner relationships. You will turn a fragmented picture of third-party labour spend, fill rates and compliance status into a clear, trusted monthly cadence, and flag the risks in it before they reach a client.
This is a hands-on analytical role with high visibility. You will not own commercial negotiations, but you will build the evidence base those negotiations are won with.
Key responsibilities
Reporting & analysis (approx. 40%)
* Build and maintain vendor scorecards covering fill rate, time-to-fill, attrition, SLA attainment, no-show rates and CSAT on partner-delivered work * Produce the monthly and quarterly vendor reporting pack: spend by vendor, region, client and role type; subcontracted headcount; trend and variance commentary * Benchmark partner rate cards by role and geography — against market data and against each other — and surface where Astreya is paying above pattern * Track savings and consolidation targets against actuals; flag run-rate drift and out-of-pattern spend early * Prepare QBR packs, executive summaries and escalation briefs for the Vendor Manager
Vendor operations & data (approx. 30%)
* Own the vendor master data: legal entities, contacts, contract dates, notice periods, renewal and expiry alerts * Run vendor onboarding administration — intake forms, due diligence packs, banking and tax documentation, system and portal setup * Maintain the contract repository and supporting document trail in an audit-ready state * Administer timesheets and purchase orders for subcontracted resource; support month-end accruals with Finance * Manage the vendor request and exception queue, and chase open actions arising from vendor reviews
Compliance & controls (approx. 20%)
* Track and evidence compliance across the partner base: insurance certificates, background and right-to-work checks, security and privacy training, local licensing and labour requirements * Operate an expiry-tracking process so no resource works on a client site with lapsed documentation * Reconcile vendor invoices against SOWs, timesheets, rate cards and approved POs; investigate and clear disputes with Accounts Payable * Recommend invoices for approval; approval authority sits with the Vendor Manager
Sourcing support (approx. 10%)
* Run the mechanics of RFPs and RFQs — distributing documents, collating responses, building comparison and scoring matrices * Support bid teams with sourcing data, historical rates and coverage information for new and expanding accounts
