  • Analyze spending, supplier performance, and market trends to identify savings opportunities and mitigate risk.
  • Drive supplier performance management, contract compliance, and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Present sourcing recommendations, financial analyses, and business cases to senior leadership.
  • Support capital projects by ensuring procurement strategies meet budget, timeline, and operational objectives.
  • Evaluate total cost of ownership and recommend innovative sourcing solutions that maximize long-term value.

Qualifications:

  • 10+ years of experience in category management, procurement, strategic sourcing, supplier management, or merchandising.
  • Experience managing large procurement portfolios and negotiating high-value contracts.
  • Strong executive communication and relationship-building skills with experience working alongside VP and C-suite leaders.
  • Proven analytical, financial, and negotiation skills.
  • Experience supporting large capital projects or enterprise-level organizations.
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain, Procurement, Finance, or a related field preferred (equivalent experience will be considered).
