As a Procurement Specialist at Kyndryl, you will provide support for various procurement activities, often working within a procurement office environment, to deliver successful outcomes to your customer. You will focus on specific aspects of procurement - such as supply chain analytics, contracts management, project management, strategic sourcing, and procurement operations - as you build skills working under a procurement or program manager.
