Job Title: Procurement Functional Analyst - North America
Location: New Brighton, MN - onsite
The Opportunity: This role is part of the sustainment team supporting the North America Life Safety segment’s use of GEP (e-procurement technology) and its connectivity to Oracle Fusion ERP. The sustainment team owns ongoing capability delivery, business support, process adherence, and continuous improvement across the procurement lifecycle.
The Procurement Functional Analyst is a hands-on procurement process expert who partners closely with the Procurement Operations Leader to maintain and improve procurement processes, enhance user experience, support operational execution, and ensure consistent adoption of APi procurement standards. Unlike a technical systems analyst, this role focuses on the business, process, user, and operational side of procurement sustainment.
Position Summary:The Procurement Functional / Business Analyst supports the daily operational needs of procurement end users, operating companies, and suppliers by ensuring procurement processes are clear, compliant, efficient, and aligned with APi’s “One Procurement” aspiration.
This role collaborates with procurement, sourcing, operations, finance, and external partners to maintain high quality process execution in source to contract, supplier onboarding, requisition to invoice, catalog management, and spend visibility. The analyst helps monitor adoption, resolve process gaps, support change management, and maintain documentation for procurement capabilities.
The role is not a technical integrator—but will interface with IT, GEP, and Oracle support teams to ensure business requirements, process needs, and sustainment priorities are accurately translated by technical counterparts.

- Partner with technical analysts to escalate issues when needed and track through to resolution.
Supplier Onboarding & Supplier Engagement Support:
- Assist in managing supplier enablement activities including documentation, catalog setup, price book validation, PO acknowledgement expectations, and invoice match readiness.

Operational Excellence:
- Support compliance efforts, APi’s Central Premise and “One Procurement” aspirations.
