  • Perform market analyses to identify new emerging suppliers.
  • Guide internal business partners through the source to contract process.
  • Develop category strategies and associated annual savings plans
  • Lead complex contract negotiations that deliver lower total cost for Verizon
  • Validate that suppliers uphold contract terms and conditions and in turn mitigate risk for Verizon

What We're Looking For...

You understand the source to contract process. You have demonstrated experience leading global indirect categories or equivalent experience. You are a relationship builder, external suppliers see you as an invaluable partner and internal stakeholders 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 or relevant work experience.
  • Significant category management experience preferably indirect
  • Experience negotiating and completing key strategic contracts
  • Senior stakeholder management up to and including C suite
  • Experience using R2P applications such as Ariba or Coupa

  • Working knowledge of FP&A budget management process
  • Project management certification, such as Project Management Professional (PMP) from the Project Management Institute.
