Qualifications

• 10+ years of progressive experience in procurement, strategic sourcing, supplier management, or supply chain, including 5+ years leading teams and managing managers
• Demonstrated ownership of a supplier performance management program you designed or substantially rebuilt; not just participated in
• Track record negotiating and managing complex, high-value supplier agreements with documented savings and service-level outcomes

• Lead complex, high-value negotiations: pricing, service levels, capacity guarantees, indexation, liability, and termination terms
• Run competitive sourcing events with disciplined evaluation criteria and documented award rationale

• Deliver measurable year-over-year savings and cost-avoidance, with results validated by Finance

• Build and maintain a supplier segmentation model and drive rationalization decisions
• Execute category strategies and multi-year sourcing roadmaps aligned to capacity expansion and new-site launches
• Lead make-versus-buy and dual-source analysis with contingency plans for single-source exposure
• Design and operate the supplier performance management program: scorecards, KPIs, tiered review cadence, escalation paths
• Establish the metric set that matters — on-time-in-full delivery, quality and defect rates, responsiveness, cost variance, capacity commitment adherence, total cost of ownership
• Chair quarterly and annual business reviews with strategic suppliers, including executive-level participation
• Own corrective action processes end to end: root cause analysis, supplier improvement plans, disqualification when performance does not recover
• Publish a supplier performance dashboard to leadership on a fixed cadence
• Own supplier onboarding and qualification
• Maintain continuity plans for critical suppliers and lead disruption response
• Act as senior partner to Operations, Facilities, Quality, Product, Finance, and Legal leadership
