Key Responsibilities
Lead the full lifecycle sourcing for indirect spend categories (e.g., professional services, facilities & maintenance, MRO, IT & digital, travel & logistics, marketing, real-estate & utilities).
Develop and execute multi-year category strategies aligned with business objectives, leveraging spend analytics (historical, predictive), market intelligence, and stakeholder insights to identify opportunities.

Design, run and manage RFx/RFQ/RFI events; negotiate contracts (MSA, SOW, SLAs) with suppliers; ensure contracting terms reflect full total cost of ownership (TCO), risk, compliance, sustainability/ESG and innovation levers.
Build and maintain strong cross-functional relationships (Finance, Ops, Supply Chain, IT, Legal, HR, Category teams) to ensure sourcing strategy is integrated, actionable and drives measurable outcomes.
Manage supplier performance and relationships: set up KPIs/dashboards, scorecards, continuous improvement initiatives, innovation forums.
Utilize procurement technologies (e-sourcing platforms, supplier 360, spend analytics tools, contract management systems, digital negotiation tools) to increase sourcing speed, transparency, and effectiveness.
Embed AI/Gen AI capabilities into sourcing workflows - for example: category demand forecasting, supplier risk modelling, scenario-analysis, contract clause generation, supplier innovation scanning.
Monitor market trends, benchmarking data, emerging technologies, and supply-chain disruptions; proactively adapt sourcing strategies in response.
Drive savings/value delivery, demand reduction, process improvement and compliance of indirect spend; maintain and report pipeline of initiatives and realized benefits.
Support governance, ensure documentation of sourcing playbooks, templates, and standard operating procedures.
Foster a culture of excellence, innovation, and collaboration within the sourcing organization and across stakeholders.
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Business Administration, Finance, Engineering or related field; MBA or relevant advanced certification preferred.
Typically 7-10 years (or more) of progressive experience in indirect category sourcing or strategic procurement in a global, industrial/manufacturing (or similarly complex) organization.
Strong track record with indirect categories: e.g., professional services, facilities, MRO, IT/digital, utilities, travel.
Demonstrated expertise in leveraging data analytics, spend/supplier analytics, and procurement technologies.

Preferred: Lean/Six Sigma certification, category-management certification (e.g., CPSM), experience in a global manufacturing or industrial context.
