COMRESOURCE IS HIRING!
We're looking for a hands-on Indirect Sourcing professional with deep experience supporting technology procurement. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on negotiating complex software agreements, managing strategic vendor relationships, and driving sourcing initiatives across all areas of IT.
This is not a traditional supply chain or direct procurement role. We're seeking a technology-focused sourcing professional who understands the software and IT vendor landscape and can independently lead sourcing initiatives from strategy through execution.
What You'll Do
- Lead end-to-end indirect sourcing initiatives across all IT categories, including:
- Enterprise software
- SaaS applications
- Hardware (laptops, peripherals, and end-user technology)
- Technology services
- Own software renewals and negotiate commercial terms to deliver cost savings and business value.
- Build and manage relationships with strategic technology vendors.
- Lead competitive sourcing events and develop RFPs from scratch through vendor selection and contract award.
- Partner closely with IT leadership and business stakeholders to understand requirements and develop sourcing strategies.
- Negotiate pricing, business terms, and commercial agreements while collaborating with internal legal teams as needed (legal expertise is not required).
- Drive Software Asset Management (SAM) activities, including software licensing, SaaS utilization, hardware asset tracking, and lifecycle management.
- Present sourcing strategies and recommendations to stakeholders, including senior leadership and the CTO.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience in Technology Indirect Sourcing, IT Procurement, or Technology Strategic Sourcing.
- Strong background negotiating enterprise software, SaaS, and technology vendor agreements.
- Experience leading complex RFPs from planning through execution and vendor selection.
- Knowledge of Software Asset Management (SAM), including software licensing and technology asset lifecycle management.
- Excellent commercial negotiation skills with a strong understanding of pricing models and business terms.
- Outstanding communication and executive presence, with the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels, including the CTO.
- Ability to manage multiple sourcing initiatives in a fast-paced environment.
- Self-starter who enjoys being a hands-on individual contributor.
Nice to Have
- Experience supporting enterprise IT organizations.
- Familiarity with major software vendors such as Microsoft, Oracle, Adobe, Salesforce, ServiceNow, VMware, AWS, Google Cloud, or similar technology providers.
- Experience delivering measurable cost savings and vendor optimization initiatives.
What This Role Is Not
- This is not a Supply Chain or Direct Procurement position.
- This is not a people management role.
- This is a highly hands-on individual contributor position focused exclusively on Technology Indirect Sourcing, strategic vendor management, software procurement, and Software Asset Management.
