What You’ll Do: The Vendor Management Coordinator role is a hands-on role responsible for executing and directly overseeing the day-to-day vendor lifecycle within Vendor Management — including but not limited to vendor onboarding, ongoing vendor maintenance, and vendor data cleanup and catalog setup and maintenance.

Vendor Onboarding • Directly process and manage new vendor requests end-to-end in Coupa, including collection and validation of required documentation (W-9/W-8, bank letters, VAT/tax registration, etc.) • Perform verification of vendor banking and tax details to reduce fraud risk before activation • Partner directly with business owners and other stakeholders to resolve onboarding blockers and documentation gaps Catalog Setup & Management • Configure and maintain vendor catalogs directly within Coupa, including item/service data, pricing updates, and punch-out integrations • Troubleshoot catalog issues with Coupa admins and coordinate directly with vendors to keep content accurate and current Vendor Maintenance • Process ongoing vendor record updates — banking changes, contact/address updates, tax documentation renewals, and approval group/routing changes • Apply and enforce verification protocols for sensitive changes (e.g., banking detail updates) to protect against fraud Vendor Data Cleanup • Conduct regular audits of the vendor master file, directly identifying and remediating duplicate, inactive, or incomplete records • Maintain data quality standards and execute cleanup cycles in partnership with Procurement Operations and IT Documentation & Process Standardization • Own the creation and upkeep of Desktop Procedures (DTPs) for all core team functions (onboarding, catalog setup, maintenance, cleanup) • Build clear, repeatable process flows/diagrams for key workflows to support consistency, training, and audit readiness • Continuously update documentation as processes evolve or systems change • Use documentation as the foundation for training new team members, including offshore resources Team Leadership • Lead, coach, and manage day-to-day work of the offshore resources, ensuring adherence to SLAs and documented processes • Assign and balance workload across the team, directly stepping in on complex or escalated vendor issues • Train team members using established DTPs and process documentation; identify gaps and update materials as needed Cross-Functional Partnership • Serve as the go-to point of contact for stakeholders on day-to-day vendor questions and issues • Provide regular updates to Procurement leadership on volume, cycle times, and data quality/documentation progress Who you are: • 2+ years of experience in vendor management, procurement operations, or supplier enablement, ideally including 1+ years leading or mentoring a team • Strong hands-on experience with a procurement/P2P platform (Coupa strongly preferred), including catalog management • Experience creating process documentation (DTPs, SOPs, process flows/diagrams) — this is a core, not incidental, part of the role • Experience managing or coordinating with offshore/distributed teams • Solid understanding of vendor onboarding compliance requirements (tax documentation, banking verification, fraud-prevention controls) • Comfortable operating in a "builder" capacity on a new team — establishing process where none currently exists • Detail-oriented, organized, and able to balance hands-on execution with team leadership Wondering if you’re a good fit?
