The Manager, Global Strategic Sourcing will lead category-management and strategic-sourcing initiatives across Sterigenics' global operations. This hands-on leadership position will manage a team of sourcing professionals while personally overseeing complex, high-value, and high-risk categories across indirect goods and services, capital equipment, and direct materials. This individual will help strengthen the sourcing function by establishing structure, improving processes, defining category strategies, and creating greater accountability around priorities, timelines, deliverables, and results.
