Reporting to the Manager of Enterprise Vendor Management, this position is responsible for implementing and supporting the governance programs that enable business teams to manage vendors effectively. The Program Manager II will apply their expertise across all five pillars of the vendor lifecycle—Risk, Performance, Sustainability & Diversity, Innovation & Automation, and Training to provide standardized frameworks, tools, and processes that ensure value, mitigate risk, and drive sustainable performance across our global operations.

Enables business teams and contract owners by providing standardized toolkits, such as KPI scorecard templates and QBR agendas, to effectively measure and manage vendor performance and commercial delivery.
• Sustainability and Diversity:Supports the integration of corporate sustainability and diversity goals into the vendor management lifecycle. Provides guidance and frameworks to ensure Sourcing and Business teams can incorporate these criteria into vendor selection and management.
• Innovation and Automation:Identifies opportunities and supports the implementation of technologies (e.g., AI, process automation) that simplify and standardize vendor management processes for all stakeholders, enhancing enterprise-wide visibility and efficiency.
• Training and Enablement:Assists in developing and delivering training programs that equip Sourcing and Business teams with the knowledge to effectively use vendor management tools, platforms, and best practices as defined by the enterprise framework.
• Stakeholder Collaboration:Works collaboratively with internal stakeholders—including Sourcing, Legal, IT, and various Business teams—to ensure the clear, consistent, and effective adoption of the enterprise vendor management program.
