Are you a procurement professional who wants your work to show up in results? As our Strategic Buyer for Facility and Site-Based Services and Projects across the Americas, you'll own a portfolio of spend that keeps our sites running safely and efficiently. You'll also have real room to build the strategy, not just carry it out. Where a category strategy already exists, you'll put it into action.
Where one doesn't, you'll design the sourcing approach yourself. You'll deliver cost and value targets, build strong supplier partnerships, protect supply continuity, and help the business see procurement as a strategic partner. Please note this role is onsite 4 days a week with 1 day of remote work.
- Put category strategy into action for your assigned spend. Where none exists, design and own the local or regional sourcing approach with input from the Category Manager.
- Lead sourcing events (RFI/RFP/RFQ) end to end: bid analysis, supplier selection, negotiation, and award.
- Build and manage an annual savings pipeline against addressable spend, deliver committed targets, and report your progress.
- Keep a steady rhythm of RFx events tied to your savings pipeline and contract renewal calendar.
- Find value beyond price, including specification alignment, demand management, payment terms, logistics, and working capital.
- Own or co-own engagement plans for key suppliers with the Category Manager, and lead their execution.
- Run regular business reviews on performance, cost, risk, quality, and improvement opportunities, and document the results in call reports.
- Hold suppliers accountable to quality, delivery, and service expectations, and drive corrective action when needed.
- Keep approved supplier lists accurate in ERP and plant records.
- Assess and document supply risk across your portfolio, including single-source and sole-source exposure.
- Lead or support qualification of alternate sources with technical, quality, and manufacturing partners.
- Raise emerging supply, pricing, or capacity risks early, with a clear mitigation plan.
- Negotiate and execute agreements that meet company standards, including removing evergreen and auto-renewal terms.
- Own the contract renewal calendar and start renegotiations well before contracts expire.
- Ensure compliance with procurement policy, approval thresholds, and internal controls.
- Manage day-to-day buying: purchase orders, price and lead-time maintenance, and resolving invoice or delivery issues.
- Work with LOB stakeholders, manufacturing, R&D, and finance to align sourcing decisions with business priorities and confirm financial impact.
- Support new product introductions and specification changes by sourcing new materials and managing supplier transitions.
- Partner with facility management, operations, and site leadership to find savings, reduce operational and supply risk, and keep procurement aligned with budgets and compliance requirements.
- Lead sourcing strategies across facilities categories such as maintenance, repairs, janitorial, security, landscaping, utilities, and site services to improve cost, service levels, and supplier performance.
- Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, or a related…
