I changed careers from Aerospace to a Sourcing Analyst role at Halliburton, allowing me to use my skills to strategically source materials and get the best total cost of ownership while building supplier relationships. In this role, I learned and applied a seven-step sourcing methodology which included analyzing company spend data, developing supplier requirements and surveys, conducting supplier reviews and analyzing performance, authoring correspondence, presenting analytics, evaluating trends, documenting processes, and developing RFIs/RFQs/RFPs to aid in negotiations and formalizing agreements with customized tracking.
