• Experience in a global systemically important bank or financial institution, or a comparably complex, highly regulated global organization, with strong knowledge of third-party risk, operational resilience, financial controls and regulatory expectations.
• A proven record of transforming procurement or Source-to-Pay at scale across processes, operating models, teams and technology, delivering measurable, well-governed outcomes.
• Leadership of multi-billion-dollar third-party spend across categories and geographies, with demonstrated savings, cost avoidance, demand management and total-cost-of-ownership improvements supported by rigorous benefit validation.
• Established executive relationships with major suppliers across technology and cloud, market data, and professional services or consulting, supported by strong commercial negotiation skills.
• Hands-on command of requisition-to-order, invoice processing, Accounts Payable, payments, approval authority and supplier-data controls.
• Experience selecting or implementing Source-to-Pay, contract lifecycle management, enterprise resource planning and analytics platforms, and applying automation and AI.
• A track record of building and leading global teams in matrixed organizations and engaging executive leadership, auditors, regulators and strategic external partners.
• Bachelor’s degree required.
