This position will be responsible for leading a local supplier development and economic mobility procurement program for a major client. The role will stand up and operate the sourcing engine that connects client demand to qualified local, regional, and in‑state suppliers. Core responsibilities include building and maintaining a rolling 6‑to‑12‑month opportunity forecast, leading supplier access and supplier leadership sessions, developing a client‑ready local supplier pathway, launching marketplace‑style mini‑bids, coordinating sourcing activity through the Logic Source Center of Excellence, and reporting local spend conversion through One Market technology.

This is not a traditional category‑only role. It is a hands‑on program leadership and execution position designed to translate the client’s local economic impact commitment into a repeatable procurement operating model. The client will retain strategy, stakeholder ownership, compliance oversight, supplier approval, and final award authority; this role will provide the market intelligence, sourcing execution, project governance, community supplier enablement, and reporting infrastructure required to make the program operational and measurable.

• Program Leadership
  • Lead the day‑to‑day execution of the client’s local supplier development and economic mobility procurement program, translating economic mobility goals into a practical supply chain operating model.
  • Maintain the program roadmap, work streams, governance cadence, and leadership reporting structure.
  • Partner with client supply chain, shared services, stakeholders, and Logic Source resources to drive measurable outcomes.
• Supplier Pipeline and Readiness
  • Build and maintain a local supplier intelligence database for suppliers in the client’s defined local, regional, and in‑state markets.
  • Segment suppliers into Client Ready Now, Client Ready with Support, and Future Ready categories.
  • Help suppliers understand and complete readiness requirements, including onboarding, documentation, compliance, insurance, pricing, and scale planning.
• Opportunity Pipeline and Category Strategy
  • Identify and manage a transparent pipeline of local sourcing opportunities from discovery through implementation and realized spend.
  • Review client spend categories, renewals, large agreements, and buying channels for opportunities to redirect, unbundle, pilot, or competitively source work locally.
  • Partner with category leaders and sourcing teams…
