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.

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.

- 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.
