The Vice President, Global Procurement – R&D will provide strategic leadership and direction for the R&D category while operating as an enterprise leader within Regeneron. The role focuses on establishing category strategies, driving value with business partners, and designing an R&D procurement function that scales with human capability and technology-driven execution.

• Act as an influential enterprise leader across senior stakeholders, leveraging critical thinking, change management, business acumen, and deep procurement expertise.
• Lead and/or participate in senior management discussions related to the R&D category, setting priorities aligned with stakeholder needs and representing Global Procurement in decisions with critical short‑ and long‑term impact on the company.
• Design and lead an R&D procurement function that scales with human capability and technology-driven execution—re‑engineering processes and embedding automation and intelligent tooling to free the team for higher‑value work.
• Champion the adoption and optimization of technology platforms that drive process automation, data‑driven decision‑making, and end‑to‑end visibility across the procurement lifecycle.
• Lead critical negotiations, supplier management, and stakeholder engagement for the R&D category, turning supplier relationships into a competitive differentiator through partnership and innovation.
• Build risk and supply chain resilience into category and sourcing strategies, anticipating disruption and ensuring continuity of supply for the most critical suppliers, services, and materials.
• Develop agile, value‑driving talent—oversee development, retention, and recruiting of Global Procurement talent.
• Apply in‑depth knowledge of efficient global procurement organizations within the biopharmaceutical industry, using Regeneron’s global capability center to standardize repeatable activities and optimize efficiency.
• Exhibit role‑model leadership behaviors, communicating a clear and compelling vision and driving positive change with senior executives and Regeneron’s most critical suppliers.

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field (required); advanced degree (MBA or similar) and/or a professional procurement certification strongly preferred.
• ~20 years of progressive experience in global procurement or category management, with a track record of taking on broader scope, higher‑stakes categories, and larger teams at each career step.
• Direct experience leading procurement within a multi‑national biopharmaceutical or life sciences organization, with working fluency in the R&D category—sourcing, CRO/clinical services, and lab supplies—or in closely adjacent, comparably complex categories.
• Demonstrated record of enterprise‑level influence: examples of shaping decisions or strategy beyond procurement’s own four walls, credibility with C‑suite or senior R&D executives, and led change that stuck rather than stalled after rollout.
• Hands‑on ownership of building or substantially re‑engineering a procurement function—redesigned processes, embedded automation or intelligent tooling, and measurably shifted team capacity toward higher‑value work.
• Command of complex, high‑value negotiations and supplier relationships, with specific, quantifiable outcomes (cost savings, risk mitigated, capacity secured, innovation unlocked).
• Evidence of building supply chain resilience proactively—anticipated and managed a real disruption or continuity risk for a critical category.
• Direct people‑leadership experience managing Director‑level (or equivalent senior) professionals, including specific examples of developing successors and retaining high performers through organizational change.

• Competitive and comprehensive total rewards package, including annual bonuses or other incentive plans, equity awards, pension or retirement benefits, 401(k) company match, health and wellness programs, fitness centers, insurance benefits (medical, dental, vision, life and disability), paid time off, and family support benefits.
