Director, Indirect Procurement

This role is a hybrid position

 Some roles require an office while others may be done remotely. This position is

 global growth and innovation. The Director of Indirect Procurement will be
 responsible for  leading Sourcing, Procurement, and Supplier Relationship
 Management for all corporate indirect spend, including critical areas like
 Go-to-Market, IT, Facilities, HR (People), Legal, and Finance.

 The Indirect Procurement team manages and optimizes a supplier base of hundreds
 of external vendors. The Director of Indirect Procurement will drive the
 strategic optimization of this function by leading the ongoing development and
 execution of Sonos-wide procurement category strategies, leveraging technology
 and data analytics to inform decisions, set benchmarking standards, and define
 measurable performance metrics.
