The Role

As the Sourcing Strategy & Process Lead, you will drive the strategic frameworks, analytics, and operational mechanisms that elevate our global sourcing capabilities. Operating as a senior strategic connector, you will partner cross-functionally with Sourcing, Engineering, Finance, Legal, and Operations to optimize commercial decisions, mitigate supply chain risks, and scale best-in-class procurement playbooks. While commodity managers own direct category relationships, you create the methodologies, market intelligence models, and executive decision-making tools that empower our entire organization to negotiate smarter, move faster, and build resilient long-term supplier partnerships.

What You'll Do

• Strategic Sourcing & Negotiation Frameworks: Partner with Commodity Managers and cross-functional leaders to architect multi-year category strategies, risk-evaluation frameworks, and negotiation playbooks that drive business impact across major RFQs, long-term agreements, and strategic supplier selections.
• Process Governance & Operating Mechanisms: Own and continuously refine company-wide strategic sourcing mechanisms, establishing standardized decision frameworks, contract handoffs, and governance workflows that increase execution speed and operational rigor.
• Analytics & Business Intelligence: Establish executive-level reporting mechanisms and financial business cases that track spend, savings, supplier concentration, and market trends to convert complex supply chain data into actionable commercial recommendations.
• Cross-Functional Leadership & Capabilities: Lead multi-commodity strategic initiatives across Sourcing, Planning, Engineering, Legal, and Finance while coaching team members on advanced negotiation strategies, analytics, and executive communication.

What You Bring

• Proven track record of architecting strategic sourcing frameworks, establishing procurement governance, and leading complex commercial negotiations across technology, hardware, or supply chain environments.
• Deep expertise in supplier management, contract structures, total cost modeling, supply chain risk analysis, and sourcing economics.
• Demonstrated ability to influence executive leadership, align cross-functional stakeholders (Engineering, Finance, Legal, Operations), and drive complex organizational initiatives without direct authority.
• Advanced proficiency in translating complex market intelligence and data into executive-level reporting, financial business cases, and strategic recommendations.
