Overview
This is a confidential, senior-level procurement leadership role for a large, complex, multi-site organization operating at national and international scale. The Senior Director, Procurement will be accountable for enterprise-wide sourcing strategy, supplier performance, spend governance, and capability building across a broad portfolio of indirect and operational spend categories.
Role Orientation

  • Set clear direction and standards while empowering teams to execute effectively across regions
  • Balance enterprise consistency with the realities of field-based or distributed operating models
    • Lead through influence, data, and credibility rather than policy alone

    Key Responsibilities
    Enterprise Procurement Strategy & Spend Leadership
    • Own and lead enterprise-level sourcing and supplier strategies across substantial indirect and operational spend

      Supplier & Partner Management in Distributed Operations
      • Elevate supplier relationships from transactional to performance-based partnerships
      • Lead supplier strategies that support geographically dispersed, multi-site operations and field-adjacent environments
      • Define and oversee supplier governance models, including scorecards, escalation paths, and continuous improvement expectations
      • Lead complex supplier negotiations and issue resolution in high-impact or time-sensitive situations
      • Ensure supplier accountability, consistency of service, and value realization across a distributed footprint
      Digital Enablement & P2P Leadership
      • Provide senior leadership and direction for digital procurement enablement, including procure-to-pay (P2P) platforms, compliance, and adoption
      • Partner with procurement operations and technology teams to advance automation, data transparency, and reporting
      • Ensure digital tools and processes support ease of use, scalability, and execution reliability across regions and operating units
      Organizational Leadership & Team Development
      • Lead, develop, and mentor a senior procurement leadership team operating across regions and functions
      • Directly and indirectly manage leaders responsible for category strategy, supplier performance, and procurement operations
      • Set clear performance expectations, metrics, and development pathways for procurement talent
      • Build a culture that values ownership, accountability, collaboration, and sound judgment
      • Act as a visible leader and role model for enterprise-level decision making
      Operating Model, Process & Transformation
      • Drive clarity around procurement operating model, including decision rights, governance, and ways of working
        • Lead continuous improvement efforts focused on efficiency, scalability, and execution reliability
        • Translate complex analysis into clear recommendations and actionable decisions, avoiding unnecessary over-engineering
        Executive & Cross-Functional Partnership
        • Serve as a trusted thought partner to senior leaders across operations, finance, supply chain, and functional teams
        • Communicate effectively with executives, balancing data-driven insight with practical business context
        • Navigate competing priorities and stakeholder perspectives with maturity and sound judgment
