Position Overview

We are seeking an executive-ready, highly strategic IT Sourcing Lead / Director to join our global Strategic Sourcing & Procurement team. Operating in an individual contributor capacity, you will serve as a trusted advisor and commercial partner to senior technology leadership—driving high-value IT strategic sourcing initiatives, contract negotiations, and vendor engagements across a complex enterprise ecosystem.

Partner directly with senior business, functional, and technology stakeholders (VPs, SVPs, C-suite) to understand upcoming business needs and technical requirements.

Lead sourcing demand intake, evaluate market capabilities, and coordinate the progression of enterprise-wide IT sourcing initiatives.

Strategic Sourcing, Market Research & Supplier Negotiations (~33%)

Conduct rigorous supplier research and benchmarking to formulate competitive go‑to‑market strategies.

Lead commercial and contractual negotiations for high‑value technology agreements to secure optimal commercial terms, pricing models, and service level agreements (SLAs).

Software (Enterprise SaaS, Cloud Licenses, On-Premise)

IT Professional Services & Consulting

Compute & Cloud Infrastructure

Storage

Networking & Telecommunications

(Candidates with broader procurement experience in Contingent Workforce, Marketing, or Supply Chain are also encouraged to apply, provided they meet the minimum IT procurement requirement).

Core Qualifications

Experience: Minimum of 5+ years of dedicated IT / Technology Procurement experience within a Fortune 500 or similarly complex, enterprise-scale environment.

Sourcing Mastery: Demonstrated track record owning strategic IT sourcing events from initial intake through strategy development, RFP execution, commercial negotiation, and final contract execution.

Executive Presence: Outstanding written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills; proven ability to build trust and articulate complex commercial strategies to senior executives.

Matrix Navigation: Proven success navigating complex internal governance processes (Legal, Infosec, Risk, Compliance) to maintain deal momentum.

Platform Experience: Hands‑on proficiency with enterprise procure‑to‑pay (P2P) platforms such as SAP Ariba (or equivalent e‑sourcing tools) is strongly preferred.

Industry Alignment: Prior experience in Financial Services or regulated corporate environments is preferred but not mandatory.

Education: Bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain, Technology, or a related field preferred.

Work Environment & Onsite Expectations

Hybrid Schedule: Preferred candidates in New York, New Jersey, or Colorado will work on a hybrid schedule (2 days onsite weekly) to foster in‑person stakeholder relationships and align for full‑time conversion opportunities.
