  • Evaluating, developing and implementing strategic supply and sourcing solutions for the procurement of goods and services that strengthens supplier relationships.
  • Leading the development and execution of the procurement strategies, including developing procurement documentation and overseeing bid evaluation processes; providing support during commercial negotiations, such as RFP process and project change requests.

What you bring to the team

  • Post secondary degree or graduate degree in Business Administration, Commerce, Supply Management, Project Management and/or related field.
  • 10 years progressive experience in procurement/supply chain roles, including experience in a leadership role with accountability for major programs with significant complexity.
  • Experience with sourcing, (legal) contract and vendor performance management.
  • Experience leading cross functional teams, including in a project-oriented environment.
  • You have senior level communication skills, leadership skills, and ability to manage change.
