Job description

CenterPoint Group is a group purchasing organization (GPO) and trusted procurement advisor that helps organizations take control of their indirect spend. By aggregating the buying power of our members across more than "$1 billion" in collective indirect spend, we give customers immediate access to pre-negotiated supplier agreements across categories like office supplies, telecom, MRO, packaging, IT, and facilities, often delivering meaningful savings within the first month.

About the Role

We're seeking a highly organized, execution-oriented GPO Enablement Manager to oversee and improve the day-to-day operations of our GPO. You'll play a critical role in making sure supplier programs, customer implementations, pricing workflows, reporting, and internal processes run efficiently and consistently. Our sales team will secure new memberships and program sign-ups and you will be expected to drive the implementation of supplier programs and ensure customer and program success over time.

The ideal candidate works autonomously, is detail-oriented and process-driven, is comfortable managing multiple priorities, and can drive accountability across teams. You think strategically while ensuring operational excellence in execution.

Key Responsibilities

Customer onboarding & implementation

• Manage the onboarding and implementation of new customer accounts onto the GPO's supplier programs, with a clear plan for each program a customer has signed up for.
• Coordinate supplier setup, pricing/catalog activation, ordering processes, and go-live so customers start transacting on GPO terms quickly.
• Lead supplier transitions from incumbent vendors to CenterPoint programs, including transition planning and stakeholder communication, with minimal disruption to day-to-day purchasing.
• Monitor implementation timelines and ensure projects are completed accurately and on schedule.
• Serve as the operational point of contact between customers, suppliers, and internal teams.
• Manage key customer accounts, drive program adoption and utilization, and ensure customers capture the savings they signed up for.
• Identify additional savings and program opportunities within existing accounts on an ongoing basis, and track conversion progress, utilization, and retention.
• Support supplier relationship management and performance monitoring.
• Lead procurement consulting projects from opportunity identification through supplier implementation.
• Analyze customer spend data to identify sourcing opportunities, savings potential, supplier consolidation, and process improvements.
• Evaluate supplier proposals and present recommendations based on cost, service capability, contract terms, implementation feasibility, and savings impact.
• Coordinate sourcing and supplier transition activities across categories such as MRO, office supplies, packaging, IT, and facilities.

Savings, reporting & data

• Track, validate, and report realized savings against baseline spend and projected targets, and ensure analytics-identified opportunities are operationalized.
• Work closely with internal analytics and sales teams to keep reporting accurate, timely, and client-ready.
• Develop and maintain operational KPIs, dashboards, process documentation, and savings trackers.
• Ensure customer and supplier data integrity across systems.

Operations & cross-functional leadership

• Identify operational bottlenecks and implement process improvements that improve speed, quality, and consistency.
• Create repeatable workflows and operational standards to support scalable growth.
• Coordinate across sales, analytics, supplier management, customer success, and leadership, driving accountability for deliverables, timelines, and customer outcomes.
• Facilitate recurring operational meetings and ensure follow-through on action items.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in procurement, sourcing, operations, supply chain, or GPO management.
• Experience managing RFPs, supplier negotiations, and strategic sourcing initiatives.
• Proven ability to implement suppliers and track realized savings.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and project management skills.
• Experience working with suppliers, pricing programs, and procurement workflows.
• Advanced Excel, PowerPoint, and reporting skills.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Self-starter with strong attention to detail and accountability.
• Procurement consulting, GPO, distribution, or indirect spend experience preferred.
• Competitive salary + performance bonus.
• Health insurance, PTO, 401(k), and other benefits.
• Growth opportunities within a fast-growing, technology-driven procurement organization.
