Lead global strategy. Optimize costs. Shape the future.

We’re looking for a Manager, Global Procurement to take charge of high-impact sourcing initiatives across software, SaaS, cloud infrastructure, real estate, travel, and operational services. In this strategic leadership role, you’ll negotiate multi-million-dollar contracts, drive measurable cost savings, and strengthen a world-class vendor ecosystem that powers our global business.

This is your opportunity to influence executive-level decisions, orchestrate complex cross-regional projects, and mentor a  procurement team—while ensuring our global operations run smarter, faster, and more efficiently.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead Strategic Sourcing & Negotiations – Own category strategies for software, SaaS, cloud services, IT infrastructure, and professional services. Personally lead our highest-value deals to secure optimal terms, pricing, and risk allocation.

  • Oversee Real Estate Procurement – Guide global lease renewals, expansions, and vendor selection, partnering with Legal, Facilities, Finance, and regional teams to ensure every workplace decision aligns with corporate strategy.

  • Strengthen Vendor Management – Build governance frameworks, performance scorecards, and renewal processes to hold suppliers accountable and ensure consistent value delivery.

  • Drive Cross-Functional Impact – Collaborate with senior leaders across Legal, Data Privacy, Finance, Security, and IT to deliver procurement strategies that advance business goals.

  • Champion Analytics & Continuous Improvement – Use dashboards, KPIs, and automation tools to shorten contract cycles, track savings, and proactively manage supplier risks.

What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain or related field (Master’s or certifications preferred)

  • 10+ years in technology procurement leadership—ideally in global or SaaS-focused organizations

  • Proven expertise negotiating complex software, SaaS, and real-estate agreements

  • Familiarity with procurement systems such as Oracle Fusion and TeamTrack

  • Experience in agile project management, procurement digitization, and multinational operations

Why Join Us

You’ll have the autonomy to set global procurement strategies, the visibility to influence executive decisions, and the resources to drive real change. This role offers a unique blend of strategic impact and hands-on leadership , all within a dynamic, growth-focused organization.

Apply today to build a procurement function that’s as global, innovative, and future-ready as the business it supports.

Qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or status as a protected veteran.
