Global Sr. Sourcing Lead– Supply Chain Procurement

Position Summary

Reporting to the Global Procurement Senior Manager, the Global Senior Sourcing Lead independently plans and leads end-to-end sourcing initiatives across assigned indirect spend areas representing approximately $25 million to $100 million in annual spend.

The Senior Sourcing Lead translates business requirements, spend analysis, and market intelligence into actionable sourcing plans. The role leads RFIs, RFPs, proposal evaluations, negotiations, contracting, implementation, and supplier-performance activities for initiatives of moderate complexity.

Working across functions, regions, and time zones, the Senior Sourcing Lead delivers measurable value through competitive sourcing, improved commercial terms, demand and spend optimization, working-capital improvements, supplier performance, and risk mitigation.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop sourcing plans based on business requirements, spend analysis, market conditions, supplier capabilities, risk, and value potential.
  • Independently lead end-to-end sourcing initiatives, including requirements gathering, market assessment, RFIs, RFPs, RFQs, e-auctions, proposal evaluation, supplier selection, contracting, implementation, and value tracking.
  • Develop sourcing-event materials, commercial models, evaluation criteria, negotiation plans, business cases, and supplier recommendations.
  • Lead supplier negotiations covering price, payment terms, service levels, contract duration, performance expectations, and other commercial conditions.
  • Partner with stakeholders across functions and regions to align requirements, evaluate proposals, make sourcing decisions, and implement supplier transitions.
  • Lead the commercial development and renewal of supplier agreements in collaboration with Legal, Finance, Risk, Information Security, and other internal partners.
  • Monitor supplier performance, address commercial or service issues, and coordinate corrective actions with suppliers and stakeholders.
  • Identify supplier, contractual, continuity, financial, and commercial risks and support appropriate mitigation actions.
  • Deliver and track savings, cost avoidance, working-capital improvements, risk reduction, and other measurable business benefits using established financial methodologies.
  • Maintain accurate sourcing, contract, supplier, and value records in applicable Procurement systems.
  • Use analytics, sourcing platforms, automation, and AI-enabled tools to improve sourcing efficiency and decision quality.
  • Ensure sourcing and supplier activities comply with applicable policies, standards, regulations, and ethical requirements.
  • Provide sourcing-process guidance to Representatives and other developing team members when appropriate.

Candidate Profile

The successful candidate will bring commercial judgment, analytical thinking, strong communication skills, and the ability to independently manage sourcing initiatives and supplier relationships.

The candidate should demonstrate:

  • Ability to translate business requirements, data, supplier proposals, and market information into practical sourcing recommendations.
  • Strong commercial, negotiation, project-management, and stakeholder-management capabilities.
  • Ability to manage initiatives from initial definition through contracting, implementation, and value realization.
  • Sound judgment when evaluating commercial opportunities, risks, assumptions, and tradeoffs.
  • Strong organization, attention to detail, accountability, and follow-through.
  • Confidence to ask thoughtful questions, challenge constructively, and influence decisions.
  • Adaptability and effectiveness in a global, multicultural, and matrixed environment.
  • Digital curiosity and willingness to use analytics, automation, AI, and procurement technologies.
  • High standards of integrity, professionalism, resilience, and ethical decision-making.

Preferred Qualifications and Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent education and experience in a relevant business, technical, analytical, engineering, or commercial discipline.
  • Typically 3–5 years of relevant professional experience in procurement, sourcing, supply chain, finance, operations, engineering, analytics, project management, sales, or supplier-facing work.
