The Procurement Manager will independently lead assigned indirect procurement categories and manage all aspects of the strategic sourcing and procurement lifecycle. This role develops trusted relationships with cross-functional stakeholders and suppliers, identifies cost savings and operational efficiencies, evaluates commercial and contractual terms, and develops and implements procurement procedures, tools, and best practices.

The ideal candidate is a hands‑on, self‑directed procurement professional with strong problem‑solving and analytical skills and experience with procure‑to‑pay processes. This role will initially operate as an individual contributor without direct reports; however, the Procurement Manager is expected to serve as a visible leader within Procurement by mentoring Procurement Specialists, providing guidance on complex sourcing and negotiation activities, reviewing work, and helping prioritize and coordinate team initiatives.

As the Procurement function evolves, this position may assume direct people‑management responsibility. The successful candidate can independently drive decisions, solve problems, lead projects, influence stakeholders at all levels, and consistently deliver results in a proactive and deadline‑oriented manner.

• Develop and implement procurement strategies, policies, procedures, and category plans in alignment with company objectives.
• Lead global sourcing and procurement efforts for assigned categories, enabling internal stakeholders across business units to maximize the value received from third‑party partners.
• Identify, quantify, and execute cost savings, cost avoidance, risk reduction, and operational improvement opportunities through category strategies and close collaboration with suppliers and internal stakeholders.
• Lead process, technology, and system improvements that enhance purchasing efficiency, visibility, compliance, and user experience.
• Partner closely with cross‑functional stakeholders to drive early Procurement engagement, clarify business requirements, evaluate options, and facilitate effective sourcing decisions.
• Develop and maintain strategic supplier relationships to improve quality, reliability, service, innovation, and total cost of ownership.
• Analyze supplier performance, spend data, market conditions, and industry trends to identify sourcing opportunities, commercial risks, and process improvements.
• Partner with Legal, Finance, Information Security, Privacy, and other control functions to ensure agreements are appropriately reviewed and supplier contracts are in place before commitments are made.
• Advise and educate internal stakeholders on supplier programs, commercial options, negotiation strategies, procurement policies, and material contract risks and liabilities.
• Lead competitive bid, supplier evaluation, negotiation, recommendation, and contract approval activities, providing clear and well‑supported recommendations…
