• Partner with stakeholders across Momentum companies to understand business needs and coordinate procurement requests for software, professional services, and other technologies.
• Build clear, flexible financial models to compare supplier pricing scenarios, including multi-year total cost, tiered or volume-based pricing, consumption assumptions, ramp schedules, discounts, renewals, and price increases.
• Translate supplier proposals into comparisons and summarize the cost, risk, and business trade-offs for stakeholders and decision-makers.
• Support sourcing events, supplier evaluations, business cases, and contract negotiations by preparing analyses, recommendations, and negotiation materials.
• Analyze agreement economics and identify savings, cost avoidance, budget impacts, and opportunities to improve commercial terms.
• Support contract renewal workflows by tracking timelines, gathering requirements, preparing documentation, and coordinating with stakeholders.
• Engage with new suppliers, help guide them through onboarding, and maintain accurate supplier, contract, pricing, and spend data while collaborating with legal, finance, accounting, and business stakeholders.
