Sr Analyst, Strategic Sourcing
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to decide which headings to use. The posting includes Overview (About the role), Primary Responsibilities (Responsibilities), Minimum Requirements, Qualifications, Additional Skills, Aptitude (maybe Requirements/Qualifications/Skills). We can combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But we can have separate headings if content exists. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section titled "Requirements". Or we could have "Qualifications" and "Skills". Let's see content: There's a block "Minimum Requirements, Qualifications, Additional Skills, Aptitude" then subheadings "SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITIES:" and "EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:" and "PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS:". So we have skills, qualifications, experience, physical requirements. We could make sections: Requirements (education/experience), Skills (skills/knowledge/abilities). Physical requirements maybe part of Requirements? But we could include as part of Requirements. However we should not create thin sections. Let's create:
- About the role (Overview)
- Responsibilities (Primary Responsibilities + Essential Functions)
- Requirements (Education and Experience + Physical Requirements)
- Skills (Skills, Knowledge and Abilities)
- Benefits
- Pay
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format as lists.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we should omit the Equal Employer Opportunity Statement.
Also remove "Why Work for KeHE?" maybe that's a heading but we can treat as part of About the role? The posting starts with "Why Work for KeHE? Full-timePay Range: ..." The "Why Work for KeHE?" is like a tagline; we can incorporate into About the role paragraph.
We need to preserve all substantive information: So include the overview paragraph, responsibilities list, essential functions list, requirements (education/experience, physical requirements), skills list, benefits list, pay range.
We must not include placeholders like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not include shift days/time because empty.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft.

About the role
Overview paragraph: At KeHE, we’re obsessed with creating solutions, unboxing potential, and serving others - and it all starts with you. As an employee-owned distributor of natural and organic, specialty, and fresh products, we’re committed to making a positive impact and scaling our success together. With a culture that fosters development and opportunity, you’ll be embarking on a career that’s moving forward. When you join KeHE, you’re becoming part of a team that is a force for good.
Maybe also include "Why Work for KeHE? Full-time" but we can incorporate as part of overview: "Why Work for KeHE? Full-time". Could add a sentence: "Why Work for KeHE? Full-time". But better to keep as is.
Responsibilities
Primary Responsibilities: The Senior Analyst, Strategic Sourcing delivers analytics, reporting, and insights that support strategic sourcing initiatives and supplier cost management. This role develops dashboards and analytical tools using internal purchasing, pricing, sales, and market data to identify sourcing opportunities, evaluate supplier competitiveness, and quantify risks and savings. Serving as a key business partner to Strategic Sourcing, Commercial Sales, Supplier & Category Management, Pricing, and Business Development, the analyst translates complex data into actionable recommendations that improve acquisition costs, strengthen supplier negotiations, and protect market share. Success in this role requires strong analytical skills, business acumen, data visualization expertise, and a proactive approach to prioritizing cost-saving and risk-mitigation opportunities. As with all positions at KeHE Distributors, we expect that all actions will be consistent with KeHE’s Mission, Vision, and Values.
Then Essential Functions as list:
- Develop and maintain analytics, dashboards, and reporting tools that evaluate supplier, brand, and item-level competitiveness across KeHE's product portfolio.
- Leverage Cost Competitiveness tools, SPINS data, landed cost information, competitive pricing intelligence, and internal purchasing data to identify sourcing opportunities, cost savings initiatives, and supplier-related risks.
- Analyze supplier and category performance to identify cost competitiveness gaps, market share growth opportunities, supplier concentration risks, and direct-to-retailer conversion risks.
- Monitor supplier cost changes and pricing trends, identifying significant increases, category outliers, historical pricing patterns, and other factors requiring sourcing action.
- Quantify and prioritize sourcing opportunities based on savings potential, business impact, customer implications, and risk mitigation.
- Build and maintain Power BI dashboards, KPI reporting, and executive-level scorecards that provide visibility into supplier competitiveness, acquisition costs, savings pipelines, and sourcing performance.
- Support supplier negotiations and sourcing strategies through financial modeling, market intelligence, competitive cost analysis, and opportunity sizing.
- Partner with Strategic Sourcing, Supplier & Category Management, Pricing, Merchandising, Finance, and Data teams to develop insights, investigate cost drivers, and implement sourcing recommendations.
- Present findings, recommendations, and business cases to leadership and cross-functional stakeholders to support strategic decision-making.
- Drive continuous improvement through automation, enhanced data accessibility, improved reporting reliability, and documentation of business rules, processes, and methodologies.
- Other duties and projects as assigned.

Pay Range: $76,230.00/Yr. - $111,744.00/Yr.
We should not include Schedule.
Check for any duplicated lines: we have not included EEO statement.
Check for any boilerplate like "Why Work for KeHE? Full-time" we included in overview? We didn't explicitly include "Why Work for KeHE? Full-time". Might be considered substantive? It's a tagline but maybe we should include it. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information. So we should include that line. Could add a sentence: "Why Work for KeHE? Full-time". Perhaps as part of overview paragraph.
Let's adjust overview paragraph to include that line at start: "Why Work for KeHE? Full-time At KeHE, we’re obsessed..." But that reads odd. Better to make a separate paragraph: Why Work for KeHE? Full-time
then overview paragraph. However that would be a heading? No, it's just a line. Use .
Thus:
