  • A bachelor's degree in administration or other relevant training;
  • At least 8 years' relevant experience, particularly in strategic procurement in information technology;

  • Courage and skills to influence decisions, negotiate favorable contractual and commercial provisions, and effectively manage supplier relations;
  • Strong business sense and understanding of BDC's and internal clients' business objectives;
  • Coaching and mentoring experience to guide and support peers with less procurement experience;
  • Deep interest in internal client operations and a strong desire to contribute to BDC's business objectives;
