The Executive Director, IT Sourcing and Vendor Management is the most senior executive at Ingram Micro accountable for the strategy, leadership, and execution of the global IT sourcing program and the Vendor Management Office (VMO). Reporting to the SVP & Chief Information Security Officer, this leader owns the full lifecycle of strategic IT supplier relationships — from category strategy and contract negotiation, through service-delivery governance, performance management, third-party risk, and value realization — across a $100M IT spend portfolio supporting the company's 60+ country operating footprint.

This is a transformational leadership role. The successful candidate will mature Ingram Micro's global VMO into a center of excellence that institutionalizes the Service Delivery Executive (SDE) operating model, integrates ITIL 4, COBIT 2019, SIAM, and ISO 37500 governance disciplines, and delivers measurable financial, operational, and risk outcomes from every strategic supplier — including Capgemini, hyperscalers, OEMs, network and telecom carriers, and global software publishers.#
