• Lead supplier development initiatives to improve cost structure, scalability, and technical capability

• Lead initiatives to improve supplier pay terms

• Champion enterprise level digital sourcing tools and data visibility usage across the enterprise (e.g., Source-to-Pay platforms)

Preferred Qualifications:

• Advanced PC skills, including MS Teams administration, MS Word, PowerPoint, and Excel

• Strong technical aptitude: ability to learn and adapt to new technology

• Demonstrated success executing complex sourcing projects across multiple sites/business units in a decentralized enterprise; proven ability to influence without authority.
