Standardize and optimize procurement processes by leveraging digital workflows, automation, and system-driven controls to improve efficiency, compliance, consistency, and scalability.
Lead business transformation initiatives that streamline workflows, reduce cycle times, eliminate manual processes, and improve operational performance through process digitization and data-driven decision making.
Partner with Category Management, Supplier Management, Operations, Engineering, Manufacturing, Finance, IT, and Digital Solutions to improve supplier performance, inventory optimization, material availability, supply continuity, and cost performance.
Leverage Power BI, enterprise reporting, advanced analytics, and real-time dashboards to monitor KPIs, identify opportunities, improve visibility, and enable faster business decisions.
Champion the adoption of procurement technologies, automation, and digital capabilities that improve productivity, compliance, user experience, and organizational effectiveness.
Utilize predictive analytics, planning tools, and operational insights to improve procurement planning and support informed business decisions.
Lead change management initiatives that accelerate adoption of new processes, systems, and digital solutions across the organization.
Serve as a trusted business partner, driving collaboration across functions to deliver measurable operational and business outcomes.

What You'll Bring

Required Qualifications

7+ years of progressive leadership experience in Procurement, Supply Chain, Strategic Sourcing, Procurement Operations, or Operations.
3+ years of experience leading, coaching, and developing high-performing teams.
Strong knowledge of procurement operations, supplier management, inventory planning, sourcing, and supply chain best practices.
Demonstrated success leading cross-functional operational excellence, process improvement, or procurement transformation initiatives.
Experience leveraging ERP platforms (Oracle, SAP, or similar), procurement technologies, and digital tools to improve business performance.
Experience using Power BI, dashboards, analytics, and reporting to drive operational visibility and data-driven decision making.
Strong understanding of workflow automation, business process optimization, and digital enablement within procurement or supply chain operations.
Excellent leadership, communication, project management, and stakeholder management skills.

Preferred Qualifications
