• Spend Analytics: Conduct utilization audits and spend analysis to identify cost reduction opportunities and inform negotiation positioning.
• VMS Program Management: Oversee VMS operations supporting professional services sourcing, ensuring process compliance and performance visibility.
• Reporting & Governance: Contribute to team savings reporting, vendor scorecards, and procurement governance documentation.

• 5+ years of progressive procurement experience, with demonstrated ownership of professional services sourcing and multi-category contract management.
• Proven negotiation track record and ability to structure contracts, manage competitive bid (RFx) processes, and demonstrate savings outcomes at the executive level.
• VMS platform experience required (supporting professional services/contingent labor sourcing).
• Strong analytical skills; comfortable building and presenting data-backed recommendations to senior stakeholders.
• Coupa and/or Workday experience is a plus.
• Self-directed, highly organized, and confident operating in a matrixed environment with multiple concurrent priorities.
