The Director of Global Supply Chain provides strategic leadership for the CRDF Global's global procurement, sourcing, subcontract management, consultant management, and supply chain operations in support of U.S. Government-funded programs worldwide.

This position is responsible for transforming the procurement organization from a transactional, back-office requisition and payment processing function into a proactive, customer-focused service organization that partners with program divisions, business development, finance, contracts, legal, and executive leadership to enable successful program delivery. This transformation is driven by a significant growth in the organization’s traditional procurement and subcontracting activity, an expansion of organizational capabilities into humanitarian and technical assistance procurement and global supply chain management, and anticipated new programs that will require scalable, compliant and responsive global procurement capacity.

The Director develops and executes enterprise procurement and supply chain strategies that ensure the timely, compliant, and cost-effective acquisition of goods, services, software, hardware, consultants, subcontractors, and operational support across complex international operating environments. The position establishes the policies, systems, processes, supplier relationships, and organizational capabilities necessary to support rapid mission execution while maintaining compliance with U.S. Government regulations and organizational policies.

A successful candidate will also establish strong relationships with senior suppliers, subcontractors, consultants, customers, and external stakeholders, while maintaining professional relationships that strengthen the Organization's ability to deliver complex international programs.
