Senior Director, Global Vendor Strategy

Join our team and experience how we lead with passion, positivity, and accountability to deliver the Right Talent. Right Now. We create an environment where you can think big, have fun and truly make a difference.

For more than 40 years, Oxford Global Resources has helped organizations solve complex business and technical challenges by connecting them with specialized expertise. We work across industries including technology, life sciences, engineering, and healthcare, providing services that range from individual staffing support to co-managed projects and fully managed programs.

Our work is built on understanding what each organization needs and bringing the right people and approach to the challenge. Behind that work are teams across Oxford who strengthen how we operate, support our people, and help us deliver for clients. If you’re looking for a place where your work connects to a larger purpose and has a visible impact, there’s an opportunity to do that here.

What We’re Looking For Oxford is looking for a leader to shape how we work with Associate Vendors and build our approach to nearshore and offshore delivery. Today, vendor relationships support several distinct business needs, including access to specialized talent, H-1B supply, and delivery capacity in other markets. This role will assess how those relationships operate today, identify where greater structure is needed, and develop a strategy that supports growth, delivery quality, sound economics, and appropriate oversight.

You’ll work closely with executive leadership and partner across Sales, Recruiting, Legal, Finance, and HR. The right person can move between the details of bill rates, vendor performance, and delivery models and the broader decisions those details inform. You’ll bring experience building vendor or global delivery capabilities, along with the judgment to recommend a practical operating model for Oxford.

What You’ll Do:

Assess Oxford’s current Associate Vendor network, how relationships are managed, and the distinct needs each vendor supports. Develop a clear view of existing capabilities, gaps, economics, and risks.

Recommend a vendor strategy that distinguishes among different use cases, including specialized talent supply, H-1B-related supply, and nearshore/offshore delivery. Define where Oxford should strengthen existing partnerships or build new capabilities.

Design a more consistent approach to vendor selection, due diligence, onboarding, contractual review, performance management, and ongoing oversight in partnership with the teams responsible for each area.

Evaluate nearshore and offshore markets and delivery partners based on capability, quality, cost, scalability, and fit with Oxford’s client needs. Help determine where external partnerships or other delivery models make the most sense.

Establish meaningful measures for vendor and delivery performance, including quality, fill rates, service levels, bill rates, margin, and other measures that help leaders make informed decisions.

Work with Recruiting and Sales leaders to understand how vendors are used in practice and recommend processes that support adoption while giving Oxford more consistent visibility and control.

Partner with Legal, HR, and other stakeholders on contractual and compliance considerations associated with vendor relationships and cross-border delivery.

Translate detailed operational and financial findings into clear recommendations for Oxford’s executive team, including the resources and decisions needed to put the strategy into practice.

Lead implementation of the agreed operating model and refine it as Oxford learns what works across its businesses and markets.
