Description

  • Lead contract negotiations with suppliers, including developing negotiation approaches, fallback positions, terms and performance benchmarks.
  • Identify and realize cost-saving and cost-reduction opportunities while maintaining supply assurance and quality.
  • Establish and maintain partnerships with cross-functional business stakeholders to identify requirements and align on priorities and trade-offs.
  • Translate ambiguous business and strategic priorities into multi-year category and sourcing roadmaps and align stakeholders around execution plans.
  • Oversee complex, company-wide supplier relationships, develop solutions to new problems, and anticipate future trends and issues.
  • Design and implement supplier lifecycle processes including planning, sourcing, selection, performance management, off-boarding, and transition.
  • Support strategic sourcing activities through sourcing best practices, risk mitigation, supplier performance management, and ongoing supplier governance.
  • Explore and implement new technologies to improve procurement performance, transparency, and reporting to business partners.
  • Support internal and external audit, SOX compliance, due diligence requests, and other ad-hoc procurement projects.

  • Executive-level communication and influence skills with experience advising senior leaders and driving alignment across complex cross-functional stakeholder groups.
  • Demonstrated success designing scalable systems and frameworks (not only executing processes) that endure beyond individual initiatives.
  • Strong analytical, financial, and risk-management acumen, including use of data, models, and tooling to inform strategy and measure enterprise impact.
