Operating in over 200 countries, PepsiCo employs more than 300,000 people globally and is committed to sustainable growth, innovation, and delivering consumer delight. In Egypt, PepsiCo has a strong presence, driving economic impact through local manufacturing, supply chain excellence, and community initiatives. As a Global Procurement Associate Analyst in New Cairo, you'll contribute to PepsiCo's mission of creating more smiles with every sip and every bite while advancing your career in a dynamic, multinational environment.

Role Overview

The Global Procurement Associate Analyst position within PepsiCo's R2P Team is pivotal for managing tactical buying processes across the EMEA region. Based in New Cairo, Egypt, this full-time role focuses on day-to-day operations, ensuring productivity, compliance, and efficiency in the procure-to-pay (P2P) process. You'll handle indirect procurement categories like MAKE, IT&PS, MOVE, CAPEX, and A&M, utilizing the myBUY tactical buy system to process requests, negotiate with vendors, and deliver savings. This entry-to-mid-level role offers exposure to global stakeholders, analytical challenges, and opportunities to drive continuous improvement and automation.

Why This Role Stands Out

In the competitive food and beverage sector, PepsiCo's procurement team is at the forefront of supply chain innovation. You'll align local market needs with global strategies, build supplier relationships, and maintain a robust control environment to uphold quality and service standards.

Key Responsibilities

As a Global Procurement Associate Analyst, your core duties include:

• Operating local tactical procurement for EMEA markets, executing standardized processes with myBUY tools and negotiations.
• Identifying vendors, obtaining quotes per company policy, and achieving productivity targets.
• Performing quality and compliance checks on all purchase requisitions (PRs) according to PepsiCo policies.
• Managing the tactical buy process: quotations, negotiations, tender summaries, and savings calculations.
• Monitoring supplier performance, benchmarking costs, and developing cost-down initiatives across plants and functions.
• Serving as myBUY Key User, providing training, support, and feedback to stakeholders on P2P processes.
• Contributing to continuous improvement and automation agendas, including project procurement timelines and cross-functional coordination.

Daily Impact

• Strong analytical, reporting, and problem-solving skills.
• Proficiency in ERP systems like SAP or ARIBA, and MS Office suite including Excel, PowerPoint, and PowerBI.
• Excellent English communication and negotiation skills; additional languages such as Spanish, Turkish, French, or German are advantageous.
