Job Description

Key Responsibilities:

Strategic Category Leadership & Technical Strategy

• Develop and execute a comprehensive category strategy for Software, Hardware, and Network spend, ensuring alignment with business objectives and evolving market trends.
• Bridge the Technical Gap: Provide the technical leadership required to guide the team in data-driven decision-making. Move the team from reactive buying to proactive ecosystem mapping.
• High-Stakes Negotiations: Lead complex renewals and disputes with Tier-1 strategic partners including Microsoft, AWS, Dell, Oracle, and Cisco. Manage critical licensing structures (Enterprise Licensing Agreements, Minimum Purchase Commitments, Partnership Agreements) to optimize value.

Supplier Governance & "Problem" Resolution

• Lead governance for 280+ managed suppliers.
• Resolve high-friction supplier issues, such as invoice blocking, credit guarantee issues, and overcharging disputes.
• Drive supplier innovation to enhance business capabilities, specifically in AI sourcing  and cloud transformation.
• SOX control owner for Minimum Purchase Commitment (MPC) management

Business Support & Revenue Enablement

• Commercial Advisory: Partner closely with sales and solutioning teams to close client-facing deals. You will effectively act as a "pricing engine" to ensure our bids are competitive and profitable.
• Stakeholder Management: Build trust with independent internal finance leaders through transparency and early engagement, while maintaining a strong alliance with Legal and Risk Management teams.

Leadership & Operational Excellence

• Lead, mentor, and develop a globally distributed team of ~40 professionals. Identify and groom high-potential talent to prevent flight risks.
• Data & Tooling Transformation: Drive the cleanup of commodity code structures and optimize the use of our tech stack (SAP, Ariba, Sirion Labs) to improve data integrity and reporting.
• Perform data analysis from supplier data to manage supplier performance and adjust supplier strategy with data driven approach

Qualifications & Experience

• Experience: 15+ years in technology procurement or supply chain leadership, specifically managing multi-billion dollar spend portfolios.

• Tools: Familiarity with SAP, Ariba, and Sirion Labs (CLM) is highly preferred.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in business, supply chain, or technology (MBA preferred).
