Monitor contract milestones, renewal cycles, and risk indicators across strategic categories. Support the development and enforcement of procurement policies and procedures to uphold ethical and sustainable sourcing practices. · Stakeholder Collaboration Partner with internal teams to understand operational needs and ensure sourcing solutions meet business requirements. Facilitate cross-functional planning sessions to anticipate sourcing needs and develop proactive procurement strategies.
