Summary:
The Director of Procurement & Spend Strategy is a highly visible, enterprise-wide leadership role sitting at the intersection of finance, legal, technological infrastructure, and organizational strategy. Managing an addressable spend of ~$30M and overseeing an active portfolio of approximately 150 vendor relationships, this high-impact position owns the end-to-end global indirect procurement architecture across the U.S. and Mexico, demand intake, and supplier relationship management (SRM) network.

As the leader of a centralized procurement function, the Director will oversee a Procurement Manager, establishing a clean division of labor that allows the Director to focus on strategic sourcing, high-value negotiations, and cost-avoidance. The Director will redefine Procurement from a reactive administrative function into a proactive corporate gatekeeper and trusted strategic partner. By deploying robust Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) software, establishing strict professional services controls, and building cross-border efficiencies, the Director will actively prevent capital leakage. Ultimately, they will institutionalize a future-proof culture of financial accountability across our Executive Team, Senior Leadership Team and individual contract owners, ensuring that every operational dollar saved is a dollar directly reinvested into our life-saving mission.
