Keep innovation moving and your career advancing as the Manager of SaaS/AI Application Sourcing & Procurement r leadership will drive strategic SaaS software negotiations, ensure regulatory compliance, and empower your team to deliver cost savings and process excellence across the SaaS portfolio.

MEANINGFUL WORK AND PERSONAL IMPACT As the Manager of the SaaS Sourcing & Procurement team, you will lead a high-performing group of sourcing specialists focused on end-to-end SaaS lifecycle management-from market research and RFPs through negotiation, ordering, renewals, and supplier performance. You will partner closely with stakeholders across Supply Chain, Technology, Finance, Legal, Security/Compliance, and program teams to secure the right solutions on the right terms for GDIT's internal operations and customer missions.

• Own complex SaaS negotiations and agreement reviews (EULAs/SLAs/DPAs/Order Forms/Master Agreements), with emphasis on pricing, usage/true-up mechanics, audit rights, data security/privacy, and termination/renewal clauses.
• Ensure all sourcing execution adheres to GDIT's internal compliance standards and government contracting requirements, including FAR and other applicable regulations.
• Run disciplined sourcing processes: market research, competitive benchmarking, total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis, and commercial risk assessments; drive outcomes through negotiation plans.
• Manage recurring operational responsibilities (pipeline, renewals calendar, dashboards, metrics, ad hoc reporting), ensuring accuracy, insight, and timely delivery.
• Standardize SaaS procurement processes and artifacts (playbooks, templates, checklists); identify automation and continuous improvement opportunities and lead implementation.
• Support executive-level engagements with strategic suppliers; prepare leadership-ready briefings and recommendations that distill complex commercial and compliance topics into clear decisions.
• Champion the growth, training, and development of the SaaS sourcing team by ensuring each team member is fully supported, empowered, and positioned for success. Serve as their primary escalation point and ensure challenges are resolved quickly and effectively.
