Non-Standard Spend Analyst (Credit Card / IT Spend)

Non Standard Spend Analyst

Houston, TX
On going, long term
Must live in the Houston area

Let’s be honest.

Every company has “non standard” spend. The question is whether someone thoughtful is reviewing it… or whether it just quietly piles up.

We’re looking for someone who can step in, take ownership, and bring clarity to corporate credit card and exception based purchasing. Not by policing. Not by rigid enforcement. But by applying sound business judgment.

This role exists to lighten the load for an existing team member. You’ll independently manage spend review activities, analyze transactions, and determine whether purchases should have followed standard asset procurement processes or represent valid business exceptions. The goal is defensible, well documented decisions that make sense for the business.

You’ll partner with procurement, finance, and operational stakeholders to understand intent behind purchases and make practical, well reasoned calls. This is about thoughtful governance, not red tape.

There’s also a secondary piece supporting early stage coordination around a mobile BYOD initiative. You won’t be configuring devices or managing MDM. This is about helping connect the dots between security, compliance, HR, finance, and the business to assess feasibility and policy alignment.

Must haves
• Experience in accounts payable, procurement, spend analysis, or financial operations
• Strong analytical skills and ability to evaluate purchasing behavior and business exceptions
• Experience working within defined procurement processes
• Ability to work independently and manage an operational workload
• Strong communication skills and comfort coordinating across multiple teams

Nice to have
• Experience with exception based or non standard spend governance
• Familiarity with IT or technology related purchasing
• Exposure to BYOD concepts in corporate environments
• Experience collaborating with security, compliance, or IT governance stakeholders

This is a judgment driven, operational role. It is not a technical IT position and does not involve engineering or system implementation. Success here looks like reduced workload for the core team, clearer documentation around spend decisions, and smoother cross functional coordination.

At iSphere, we value professionals who bring common sense, business maturity, and strong communication to the table. If you’re someone who can balance governance with flexibility and make smart calls without creating friction, we’d love to connect.
