- Enroll cross functional technology partners in the strategic vision for Global Sourcing, and lead the creation and expansion of new capabilities that align with our strategic goals.
- Modernize existing costing and sourcing platforms and integrate next generation capabilities (costing engines, sourcing execution suites, or equivalent).
- Drive transformation toward API-first, event-driven, and scalable integration architectures across the global vendor base.
- Lead design and implementation of secure, resilient, and responsible data management and governance frameworks for material, vendor, and cost master data.
- Partner with Enterprise Architecture and Engineering on technology evolution that supports enterprise initiatives.
- Lead globally distributed engineering, QA automation, delivery, and support teams; develop managers and future-ready technical leaders.
- Serve as the escalation point for Technology Managers to support delivery, making thoughtful decisions on the fly and constantly clearing roadblocks.
- Raise engineering standards around quality, observability, security, and system reliability.
- Build high performing, diverse teams with a culture of inclusion, transparency, and continuous improvement, and support career progression and stretch opportunities across the Global Sourcing technology area.
- Oversee delivery, operations, and vendor/partner management across sourcing and costing systems, and own the relationship with key vendor partners.
