In crisis and in celebration, we come together — lifting our communities and building trust in how we show up, everywhere & always. Want in? Join the V Team Life.

What you’ll be doing…

You’ll be leading the sourcing process for an IT Category within the IT Sourcing Department, where we spend more than five hundred million dollars per year. While guiding your internal business clients through the acquisition process, you’ll be identifying potential suppliers, reviewing & drafting requirements and agreements, analyzing qualifications, negotiating deals, identifying savings opportunities and monitoring supplier performance. Our purchasing power combined with your skills and expertise will help us maintain our market-leading position. Come play a meaningful role in driving continuous cost savings and revenue generation.

Strategic Sourcing & Negotiation:

  • Plan and propose sourcing strategies that best support business needs.
  • Create, update and present the Category Strategy.
  • Perform market analyses to find potential new suppliers.

  • Present and update key deal briefings to the Leadership team for new contracts and renewals.
  • Validate that suppliers are upholding contract terms and conditions.

What we’re looking for...

You understand commerce. Because you are a master relationship builder, external suppliers see you as an invaluable partner and internal clients see you as a trusted advisor. You have no problem prioritizing multiple simultaneous projects and you’re no stranger to tight timelines. Balancing the intersection of cost, efficiency, and quality, you expertly negotiate the best outcomes for all parties.

You’ll need to have:

  • Bachelor’s degree and relevant strategic sourcing experience.

Even better if you have one or more of the following:

  • Project & Stakeholder Management in complex multi-project and multi-geography environment
  • Category Sourcing Management, Supplier Management and/or Purchasing experience

  • Experience in driving cross-functional teams to achieve common goals in complex deals.
  • Negotiation, cost management and analytical skills
  • Knowledge of the commercial legal language, terminologies related to contracting.
  • Experience in IT/Technology categories
  • Certifications in CPSM/CPM/CIPS/CSCP and/or Lean Six Sigma.
  • Experience in Ariba, SAP, Google Suite & Microsoft Suite applications.

If Verizon and this role sound like a fit for you, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every “even better” qualification listed above.
