Experience with platforms such as Oracle/Oracle Fusion, Coupa, SAP/SAP Ariba, or similar procurement technology is highly relevant, with the emphasis on successfully owning and implementing technology rather than expertise in one specific platform.

The Manager, Procurement Operations oversees the daily purchasing workflows, systems, compliance, metrics and reporting, and transaction processes that enable efficient supply chain and source-to-settle operations. This position provides leadership and guidance to direct reports and the broader Procurement team, ensuring procurement technology, requisition-to-purchase-order processes, contract workflows, controls, reporting and service delivery operate effectively.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS: Knowledge of: • Procurement and purchasing operations, including requisition-to-purchase-order processes, contract lifecycle workflows, and transaction controls. • ERP, e-procurement, and source-to-pay platforms and the practices required to implement, migrate, administer, integrate, and optimize procurement technology. • Integration and communication between upstream and downstream Procure to Pay technologies • Procurement governance, internal controls, audit standards, regulatory compliance, data management, and operational risk management. • Operational performance measures, service-level agreements, cycle-time analysis, process improvement, and cost-savings or cost-avoidance tracking.

Ability to: • Lead, coach, and develop employees; establish priorities and performance expectations; and hold team members accountable for results. • Analyze operational data, identify trends and risks, translate findings into recommendations, and measure the impact of improvements. • Standardize and improve complex processes while maintaining appropriate controls, documentation, and customer service. • Lead cross-functional projects, system implementations or migrations, change management, testing, training, and adoption. • Build productive relationships and communicate clearly with internal stakeholders and external partners. • Apply strong judgment, problem-solving, project management, and risk-management capabilities in a changing operational environment.

Education and/or Experience: • Bachelor’s degree in supply chain management, business administration, finance, or a related field. Additional relevant experience may be substituted for the degree requirement. • Five or more years of experience in procurement, purchasing operations, supply chain, or a related field, including prior people leadership or significant project leadership experience. • Hands-on experience with ERP and source-to-pay platforms, such as SAP, Oracle, Coupa, or IBM Maximo. Direct experience with Ironclad and / or Oracle Fusion is preferred. • Direct experience leading a procurement systems migration or establishing and implementing a new procure-to-pay suite of tools.
