Engagement Details

  • Duration : 23 months (possible extension)
  • Location : Remote (U.S. EST hours)
  • Travel : ~10% (supplier visits, workshops, or on-site stakeholder sessions)

What Youll Do (Key Responsibilities)

  • Category Strategy : Own assigned IT spend categories (e.g., SaaS, Cloud / Infrastructure, End-User Devices, Managed Services); assess market dynamics, benchmarks, and savings levers; build and execute sourcing strategies aligned to stakeholder goals.
  • Sourcing Execution : Run end-to-end RFI / RFP / RFQ cycles (requirements, scoring, supplier Q&A, demos, commercial analysis), and down-select vendors.
  • Negotiations : Lead commercial and contractual negotiations (pricing, rate cards, milestones, SLAs, service credits, EULA terms, data privacy, security exhibits, and renewals).
  • Contracting & Risk : Partner with Legal / InfoSec / Privacy to finalize MSAs, SOWs, DPAs, SLAs , and ensure compliance (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA as applicable).
  • Financial Outcomes : Deliver measurable savings, cost avoidance, and improved TCO; validate and document benefits with Finance (should-cost models, benchmarking, and clean-sheeting where relevant).
  • Supplier Management : Execute vendor due diligence, performance scorecards, QBRs, and corrective action plans; support rapid supplier onboarding.
  • Renewals & Demand Management : Rationalize licenses, right-size entitlements, and avoid shelf-ware; optimize term lengths, uplift caps, and renewals calendars.
  • Stakeholder Partnership : Translate business needs into sourcing plans; facilitate decision meetings; provide clear market intel and options trade-offs.
  • Data & Tools : Maintain sourcing pipeline, dashboards, and contract repositories; ensure clean data for audit and reporting.

    • Required Qualifications

  • 510 years of IT sourcing / procurement experience with demonstrated category management ownership.
  • Proven success running competitive events and negotiating complex IT agreements (SaaS, cloud / IaaS, software licenses, managed services, hardware).
  • Strong command of contract constructs (MSA / SOW, SLAs / service credits, termination, indemnities, liability caps, audit, data privacy / security, IP).
  • Comfort with supplier risk and compliance reviews in partnership with Legal / InfoSec / Privacy.
  • Data-driven : pricing analysis, TCO, scenario modeling, and savings / benefits tracking.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and concise executive communication skills.
  • Travel-ready (~10%) and able to work cross-functionally in a fast-moving environment.

    • Preferred (Nice to Have)

  • Category depth in SaaS & Cloud (AWS / Azure / GCP) , end-user computing, collaboration, cybersecurity, DevOps, data platforms, or managed services.
  • Experience with ITAM / SAM (e.g., Snow, Flexera), license models (user-based, consumption, cores), and renewal playbooks.
  • Familiarity with eSourcing / CLM tools (e.g., Coupa, Ariba, Ivalua, Jaggaer, Scout / Workday Sourcing, Ironclad, DocuSign).
  • Industry certifications : CPSM, CIPS, CSCP, ITIL , or privacy / security awareness.
  • Prior experience in mid-market or enterprise environments with rapid timelines.

    • This is a remote position.
