Strategic Sourcing Manager - Indirect Procurement
Motorola Solutions is building talent pipelines to meet future hiring demands. This is a pipeline role, while there is not an immediate opening, we want to build relationships with prospective candidates like you. If your background is a match to our requirements, we'll follow up with an exploratory conversation.
The Strategic Sourcing Manager - Indirect Procurement is the commercial architect for our global Business Services categories. You are responsible for more than just buying; you are tasked with creating a competitive advantage by optimizing how the company spends millions of dollars on non-production services. This role requires a "consultative" approachpartnering with executive leaders to ensure their departments have the best tools and services to succeed while protecting the company's bottom line.
Core Responsibilities
1. Category Strategy & Market Intelligence
- Global Strategy Development: Move beyond tactical buying to create 3-year category roadmaps that account for global market volatility, labor trends, and technological shifts (e.g., AI integration in services).
- Supply Base Optimization: Don't just manage vendors; curate a high-performing supply base. This includes "right-sizing" the number of vendors to leverage volume while mitigating "single-source" risks.
- Should-Cost Modeling: Build complex financial models to understand the cost drivers of services (labor rates, overhead, margins) to enter negotiations with a data-driven advantage.
2. Strategic Sourcing & Lifecycle Management
- Advanced RFx Execution: Design "Value-Based" RFPs that prioritize outcomes and KPIs rather than just the lowest price.
- Contractual Engineering: Partner with Legal to draft robust Master Service Agreements (MSAs) and Statements of Work (SOWs) that include "teeth"clear SLAs, liquidated damages, and continuous improvement clauses.
- Supplier Relationship Management (SRM): Lead quarterly Strategic Business Reviews (SBRs) with "Tier 1" suppliers to drive innovation and ensure we are their "Customer of Choice."
3. Financial Impact & Value Creation
- Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): Shift the conversation from "price" to "value," identifying hidden costs in service delivery, implementation, and off-boarding.
- Working Capital Optimization: Negotiate favorable payment terms and lead-time reductions to maximize corporate cash flow.
- Demand Management: Work with internal departments to challenge "need vs. want," reducing unnecessary consumption of services at the source.
Location: Employee must be based in the Greater Chicago Area with the expectation to be in office 3 days per week.
Target Base Salary Range: $100,000.00 - $150,000.00
