We are seeking a seasoned Senior Category Manager to own our Technology Professional Services category end-to-end. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role for a practitioner who combines deep market expertise in Tech Services with the executive presence and relationship skills to serve as a true strategic partner to the business. You will be the go-to authority on best practices, structure and negotiate complex, multi-phased Technology Services agreements, and drive the full sourcing and category management lifecycle — from strategy through supplier performance.

The right candidate is simultaneously a credible thought leader and a hands-on executor: someone who can walk into a room with a CIO or a SVP of Technology, earn their trust, and then translate that partnership into measurable sourcing value.

• Own the end-to-end Technology Professional Services category strategy, encompassing staff augmentation, managed services, consulting, outsourced development, and related tech labor models.
• Define multi-year category roadmaps aligned to business technology investments, organizational priorities, and evolving market capabilities.
• Serve as the recognized subject-matter expert and trusted advisor to senior technology, finance, and operational stakeholders on market trends, supplier capabilities, and emerging service models.
• Proactively identify category opportunities and bring forward-thinking, data-backed recommendations without waiting to be asked.

• Lead the structuring and negotiation of sophisticated, multi-phased Technology Services agreements — including MSAs, SOWs, outcome based delivery frameworks, T&M and fixed-fee constructs, and hybrid commercial models.
• Design contract frameworks that appropriately balance business flexibility, risk allocation, IP protection, data security, and performance accountability.
• Drive favorable commercial outcomes on pricing benchmarks, rate cards, SLAs, KPIs, governance cadences, and exit provisions.
• Oversee the full SOW lifecycle within Fieldglass (or equivalent VMS), ensuring compliant intake, structured approvals, and active management against scope and spend.

• Design and lead competitive sourcing events (RFI, RFP, RFQ) for Technology Professional Services engagements of varying scale and complexity.
• Apply best-in-class sourcing methodologies: total cost of ownership analysis, should-cost modeling, supplier score carding, competitive benchmarking, and market intelligence.
• Build and maintain a rationalized, tiered supplier ecosystem — balancing preferred-vendor depth with competitive tension.
• Manage supplier performance through structured governance, KPI/SLA tracking, QBRs, and continuous improvement initiatives.

• Establish yourself as an embedded strategic partner to Technology, Engineering, Finance, Legal, and HR leaders — understanding their roadmaps and ensuring sourcing strategy is a true enabler.
• Translate business requirements into sourcing and commercial strategies that stakeholders trust and champions.
• Influence sourcing adoption and procurement policy compliance through credibility and education, not just process enforcement.
• Communicate complex commercial and market insights clearly and persuasively to audiences ranging from project managers to C-suite executives.

• Deliver and track measurable value: cost savings, cost avoidance, risk mitigation, cycle…
