What Will You Be Doing?

Strategic Sourcing is a high-impact, highly visible function that partners closely with senior management and executive leadership to drive measurable enterprise value. The Senior Manager, Strategic Sourcing – Indirect Spend serves as the vertical lead for Indirect Sourcing, accountable for developing and scaling a best-in-class sourcing operating model and leading a portfolio of sourcing initiatives across critical support-function categories (including Information Technology, Finance, Marketing, Legal, and Commercial services).

This role leads end-to-end strategic sourcing engagements—from intake and prioritization through RFx execution, negotiation, and contracting—while enabling effective post-award supplier management by establishing performance frameworks, contract governance, and clear handoffs to business owners.

Supplier Performance Framework & Transition to Business Owners (10%)

• Embed clear supplier performance expectations into agreements (e.g., SLAs, KPIs, governance cadence, remedies, and commercial protections).
• Establish lightweight supplier governance frameworks (e.g., scorecards, escalation paths, review cadences) that enable effective day-to-day management by the business owners after contract execution.
• Support stakeholders in addressing supplier issues that require commercial or contractual intervention and drive continuous improvement through fact-based performance dialogue.

Team Leadership, Capability Building & Change Leadership (20%)
