Job description

About the team

Zillow’s Procurement team helps the business move faster and smarter by building trusted supplier partnerships and thoughtful sourcing strategies across the company. Within Strategic Sourcing, you’ll work with cross‑functional stakeholders to balance cost, quality, and risk while bringing structure, insight, and innovation to how we buy. This team plays an important role in supporting Zillow’s goals by helping teams make informed decisions and deliver value at scale. Within the team, our Sourcing Center of Excellence also owns the tools and processes behind how we buy, from intake workflows to Source‑to‑Pay platform configuration, so sourcing stays consistent, compliant, and easy for teams to use.

About the role

The Sourcing Project Manager develops and executes sourcing strategies that optimize total cost, quality, and risk across Zillow’s spend categories. You will also serve as a functional owner of our Sourcing tools and sourcing‑enabled processes, blending hands‑on deal execution with process ownership, tooling administration, and digital transformation to drive process improvements across the sourcing and intake‑to‑procure lifecycle while independently managing competitive events, renewals, and new sourcing requests. You will conduct market and supplier analysis, lead competitive sourcing events, negotiate contracts, and partner with stakeholders to deliver value and innovation in support of business objectives. You will get to partner with cross‑functional stakeholders (Finance, Legal, Risk, Technology, Business) to align sourcing plans with budget and business needs, and to ensure sourcing governance, compliance, and audit readiness. Support the development of category strategies, sourcing playbooks, and standard tools that promote consistency and compliance. Maintain accurate sourcing documentation, contract records, and savings tracking to communicate value delivered to leadership. Drive Source‑to‑Pay tool requirements gathering, workflow configuration, and system enhancements. Drive adoption of the supplier segmentation and categorization framework. Conduct process mapping and implement workflow improvements that advance digital transformation and process efficiency. Apply Agile and Lean methods to sourcing, tooling, and process‑improvement initiatives. Lead moderately complex strategic sourcing initiatives from opportunity identification through supplier selection and award. Analyze spend, demand, and market data to identify sourcing opportunities and inform category strategies. Negotiate commercial terms, service levels, and pricing with suppliers to optimize total cost of ownership and manage risk. Develop and execute RFx events (RFI/RFP/RFQ), including requirements gathering, evaluation criteria, and bid analysis.
