Position Summary

The Sourcing Operations Manager leads the operational engine that enables Strategic Sourcing to run efficiently, compliantly, and consistently. This role owns the day-to-day processes, governance, reporting, tools, and cadence that drive sourcing execution-from intake to contract award to implementation-while ensuring alignment with policy, stakeholder expectations, and performance standards. The Manager partners closely with Sourcing, Legal, Finance, and key business/clinical stakeholders to improve cycle time, strengthen controls, and increase adoption of contracted suppliers.

Essential Functions and Responsibilities of the Job

• Own and continuously improve the sourcing intake process, ensuring requests are complete, prioritized, and aligned to strategy and policy.

• Establish and manage the sourcing operating cadence (pipeline reviews, project tollgates, stakeholder updates, escalation paths).

• Build and maintain standard work (SOPs, templates, playbooks, checklists) that drive consistent execution.

• Serve as a point of accountability for issue resolution and escalations, ensuring timely decisions and clear communication.

• Lead process improvement initiatives that reduce cycle time, eliminate rework, and strengthen compliance (Lean/Six Sigma mindset preferred).

• Define and monitor key operational KPIs (e.g., cycle time, throughput, savings validation readiness, adoption, stakeholder satisfaction).

• Create scalable processes for RFx execution support, competitive bids, supplier onboarding, and contract routing.

• Own sourcing operations reporting and dashboards (e.g., pipeline, savings, contract coverage, compliance/adoption).

• Partner with analysts/IT to optimize procurement systems (ERP, eSourcing, CLM, P2P, contract repository).

• Ensure data integrity: supplier master, contract metadata, category taxonomy, and project tracking accuracy.

• Translate insights into actions-identify bottlenecks, risks, and opportunities and drive mitigation.

• Coordinate cross-functional handoffs (Sourcing Legal Finance Operations) to ensure contracts and sourcing decisions move efficiently.

• Ensure required documentation is captured: business case, approvals, risk reviews, supplier due diligence, pricing exhibits.

• Support contract implementation readiness (communications, enablement, compliance tracking, supplier performance setup).

• Partner with stakeholders to increase contract utilization and reduce off-contract spend through governance, communication, and tracking.

• Coordinate implementation plans for key awards, including supplier onboarding, ordering enablement, and end-user guidance.

• Facilitate supplier performance reviews and ensure corrective action tracking when needed.

• Ensure sourcing activities align with internal policies and external requirements (e.g., privacy/security, insurance, credentialing, regulatory).

• Support vendor risk management coordination (security assessments, BAAs, insurance requirements, credentialing).

• Maintain audit-ready documentation for sourcing events, approvals, and contract records.
