Lead IT Procurement Specialist

Domino’s Pizza, which began in 1960 as a single store location in Ypsilanti, MI, has had a lot to celebrate lately: we’re a reshaped, reenergized brand of honesty, transparency and accountability – not to mention, great food! In the rise to becoming a true technology leader, the brand is now consistently one of the top five companies in online transactions and 65% of our sales in the U.S. are taken through digital channels.

The brand continues to ‘deliver the dream’ to local business owners, 90% of which started as delivery drivers and pizza makers in our stores. That’s just the tip of the iceberg…or as we might say, one “slice” of the pie! If this sounds like a brand you’d like to be a part of, consider joining our team!

The IT Lead Procurement Specialist is a senior individual contributor responsible for leading complex sourcing initiatives and delivering strategic value to Domino’s IT function. Reporting to the Director, Technology Procurement, this role leverages deep market expertise, advanced analytical skills, and a strong understanding of technology trends to optimize procurement outcomes, mitigate risk, and support the company’s technology strategy. The Lead Specialist acts as a thought leader and mentor, partnering across functions to implement best‑in‑class procurement solutions and drive continuous improvement.

Working closely with internal functional colleagues and leaders, this role must recognize that spend ownership remains within the function and, as such, must have a strong ability to influence, manage supplier relationships, and secure optimal value to support the company’s IT objectives.

The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of IT/Technology trends, excellent negotiation skills, and a proven track record executing procurement strategies. The role will be part of a team that will manage category spend up to $250M and will collaborate with the Procurement Shared Services team for execution.

The salary range for this role is: $95,000 - $120,000, plus bonus eligibility. Final compensation will be determined based on qualifications, experience and internal equity.

This is an on‑site position based at our Ann Arbor, MI headquarters.
