Job description

Your role:

The Executive Director, IT Sourcing and Vendor Management is the most senior executive at Ingram Micro accountable for the strategy, leadership, and execution of the global IT sourcing program and the Vendor Management Office (VMO). Reporting to the SVP & Chief Information Security Officer, this leader owns the full lifecycle of strategic IT supplier relationships — from category strategy and contract negotiation, through service-delivery governance, performance management, third-party risk, and value realization — across a $100M IT spend portfolio supporting the company's 60+ country operating footprint.

This is a transformational leadership role. The successful candidate will mature Ingram Micro's global VMO into a center of excellence that institutionalizes the Service Delivery Executive (SDE) operating model, integrates ITIL 4, COBIT 2019, SIAM, and ISO 37500 governance disciplines, and delivers measurable financial, operational, and risk outcomes from every strategic supplier — including Capgemini, hyperscalers, OEMs, network and telecom carriers, and global software publishers.

What you bring to the role:

  • Bachelor's degree required; MBA, JD, or other relevant graduate degree strongly preferred.

  • One or more of the following strongly preferred: ITIL 4 Strategic Leader or Managing Professional, COBIT 2019 (Foundation and Design & Implementation), SIAM Professional, ISO/IEC 37500, CIPS, IAITAM, or equivalent.

  • Project, program, or governance credentials (PMP, PRINCE2, P3O, MoP) a plus.

  • 15 + years of progressive experience in IT sourcing, vendor management, IT procurement, or managed services governance, including at least 5 years at Director or above in a Fortune 500 company.

  • Demonstrated ownership of a $100M+ IT spend portfolio or a Tier 1 outsourcing engagement valued at $100M+ in total contract value.

  • Direct experience leading large-scale IT outsourcing engagements with global system integrators (Capgemini, Accenture, IBM, TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCL, Cognizant, DXC, or comparable).

  • Track record of successful contract negotiation, restructuring, and renewal at the MSA / Frame Agreement level, including financially material outcomes.

  • Multi-region operating experience across at least two of: Americas, EMEA, APAC, LATAM.

  • Deep functional expertise in IT outsourcing operating models, including SDE governance, SIAM, multi-tower service integration, and managed-services SLAs.

  • Working knowledge of cybersecurity controls, third-party risk frameworks (NIST, ISO 27001/27036, SIG), SOX ITGC, and global regulatory frameworks (GDPR, India DPDP, regional privacy laws).

  • Strong commercial acumen, including TCO modeling, NPV/IRR analysis, benchmarking, charges-workbook construction, and unit-rate economics.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Prior experience as VMO, IT Sourcing, or Procurement leader at a private-equity-backed portfolio company, with exposure to PE-style operating cadence and value-creation plans.

  • Prior experience as a Service Delivery Executive, Account Executive, or Engagement Director within a global system integrator, providing supplier-side perspective.

  • M&A integration, divestiture, or carve-out experience involving IT supplier portfolios, transition services agreements (TSAs), and multi-jurisdictional contract novation.

  • Public-sector, regulated industry, or CMMC/FedRAMP exposure.
