About this role
Role Overview
Own the end-to-end sourcing lifecycle for corporate services, including Workplace/Facilities and Legal categories, as well as intake, scoping, market analysis, RFP/RFQ execution, supplier selection, negotiation strategy, contracting support, and ongoing supplier management.
Act as a trusted advisor, work to build strong relationships, translating business requirements into sourcing strategies, and guiding stakeholders through tradeoffs (cost, risk, timeline, service levels).
Lead competitive bidding events (RFPs) and commercial negotiations for significant-spend projects (e.g., facilities services, design & construction support, workplace operations, food services, real estate-related services, legal services/vendors, and other G&A services as needed).
Develop pricing and performance models (global rate cards, SLAs/KPIs, incentives/credits) that drive measurable outcomes and accountability.
Deliver savings and value through cost-reduction initiatives (consolidation, re-bids, renegotiations, demand management, and process improvements), while ensuring continuity of critical operations.
Partner closely with our legal team to support contract reviews and align on risk posture, commercial contract terms, and standardized templates/playbooks.
Manage supplier performance through business reviews, scorecards, and issue resolution—ensuring quality delivery and continuous improvement.
Leverage data, benchmarks, and market intelligence to stay current on industry trends, pricing norms, and supplier landscape changes; provide clear, data-driven recommendations.
Use AI thoughtfully to improve sourcing outcomes—applying AI-enabled tools to accelerate analysis and drafting, surface opportunities, and improve operating efficiency while maintaining appropriate governance and confidentiality.
Requirements
6–10 years of strategic sourcing/procurement experience, ideally across Workplace/Facilities services and/or professional services (Legal a plus); strong preference for experience in high-growth or fast-paced environments.
Demonstrated success leading RFPs, complex negotiations, and supplier management, with a track record of savings, cost avoidance, and/or measurable value creation.
Strong working knowledge of commercial contracting concepts (SOW/MSA structure, rate cards, SLAs, renewals, termination, liability/risk tradeoffs) and comfort partnering with Legal to move deals to signature.
Strong analytical skills (Google Sheets/Excel); ability to build clear business cases and pricing comparisons.
Excellent written/verbal communication; ability to influence stakeholders and drive alignment across competing priorities.
Highly organized program manager with strong judgment, follow-through, and ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
AI fluency and practical application: “default to automation” mindset, comfort using AI/automation to improve sourcing productivity and quality (e.g., spend analysis, supplier research, RFP drafting, summary synthesis, risk flagging), with the ability to validate outputs and handle sensitive information appropriately.
Familiarity with procurement end-to-end systems and contracting tools (e.g., Zip and/or other intake tools, Oracle or equivalent P2P, Ironclad or other CLM, supplier management systems) is a plus.
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
