About This Role

As the Head of Source-to-Pay Technology, you will lead the IT function responsible for technology strategy, delivery, support, and lifecycle management across the Procurement and Source-to-Pay technology landscape. The successful candidate will bring deep experience managing enterprise applications, integrations, data, controls, delivery teams, and business stakeholders who depend on Source-to-Pay capabilities.

You will be a partner with Procurement, Finance, Global Business Services, Data, and Technology teams to translate business process needs into scalable, sustainable technology solutions. You will shape roadmaps, guide investment decisions, manage systems integrators and technology partners, and ensure Procurement technology capabilities are reliable, compliant, supportable, and aligned with business priorities.

What You’ll Do

• Own the technology strategy, roadmap, delivery, support, and lifecycle management for Procurement and Source-to-Pay platforms.
• Partner with Procurement, Finance, GBS, Legal, Compliance, and other business stakeholders to translate business priorities and Source-to-Pay process needs into scalable technology solutions.
• Lead the Source-to-Pay technology portfolio, including sourcing, contracting, supplier management, purchasing, invoicing, approvals, integrations, reporting, and analytics capabilities.
• Drive technology investments and portfolio planning, including business cases, budgeting, value realization, and alignment with enterprise objectives.
• Establish and govern demand management, prioritization, solution decisions, enhancement backlogs, and platform lifecycle planning across the Procurement technology landscape.
• Lead cross-functional technology teams, including product owners, business analysts, architects, engineers, support resources, and systems integration partners.

Who You Are

You are an IT leader who understands Procurement and Source-to-Pay business processes, with a core strength of leading technology teams and enterprise application portfolios. You can operate strategically with senior Procurement, Finance, and GBS stakeholders while also understanding the technical work required to deliver reliable, integrated, compliant platforms.

You know how to shape strategy, make investment trade-offs, manage demand, guide technical teams, hold systems integrators accountable, and sustain platforms after go-live. You bring enough process fluency to challenge and advise the business, but your professional foundation is IT delivery, application ownership, and technology leadership.

Required Skills

• BA or BS in Computer Science, Information Systems, Business, Engineering, or related field.
• 12+ years of progressive IT experience, including direct accountability for enterprise application delivery, support, roadmap ownership, and stakeholder management.
• Demonstrated experience as an IT leader supporting Procurement, Source-to-Pay, Procure-to-Pay, Finance, GBS, Supply Chain, or similar enterprise business functions.
• Hands‑on leadership experience with Source-to-Pay or related enterprise platforms such as Coupa, Ariba, SAP, Oracle ERP, CLM, supplier management, workflow, analytics, integration, or reporting platforms.
• Experience managing large systems integration partners, managed service providers, and technology vendors.

Preferred Skills

• Experience owning or leading the strategy, roadmap, implementation, enhancement portfolio, and support model for Source-to-Pay platforms such as Coupa, Ariba, SAP, Oracle ERP, CLM, or related solutions.
• Demonstrated ability to balance strategic technology leadership with technical execution across enterprise application portfolios.
• Experience modernizing Source-to-Pay technology ecosystems through process digitization, workflow automation, analytics, platform rationalization, and AI-enabled solutions.
• Experience designing and managing integrations between Source-to-Pay platforms, ERP systems, finance applications, supplier ecosystems, and enterprise data platforms.
• Experience leading global technology teams, matrixed delivery organizations, and large systems integration partners.
