• Design the MRO supplier and service-provider ecosystem across manufacturers, distributors, contractors, and technical service providers, including strategic segmentation, consolidation, geographic and trade coverage, capacity planning, self-perform versus outsource decisions, emergency response coverage, and contingency sources
• Develop executive-level supplier and service-provider relationships and lead business reviews and joint value plans that advance innovation, reliability, productivity, sustainability, technology enablement, workforce capability, safety, and continuous improvement
• Establish performance and risk frameworks that provide visibility to service quality, response and resolution, supply continuity, compliance, contract value, and operational risk, and track category performance, including cost avoidance, working capital, and supplier and service-provider performance
• Establish annual savings targets with Procurement and Finance, govern savings definitions, baselines, validation, and realization, and own a monthly savings forecast that reconciles actual, forecasted, and committed results and explains variances, changes in confidence, timing shifts, and value at risk
• Produce and present a recurring executive savings dashboard and periodic performance reviews to senior leadership covering annual targets, realized and forecasted savings, in-year run rate, pipeline coverage, forecast confidence, initiative status, and value at risk, with root causes, corrective actions, accountable owners, and the leadership decisions required
• Identify and address value leakage, maverick spend, savings shortfalls, and compliance gaps through documented recovery plans with clear owners, deadlines, and executive visibility, and ensure adherence to contracts, preferred suppliers, and procurement policies
• Serve as the primary point of accountability for aligning stakeholders across Operations, Finance, and functional teams, leading discussions to resolve competing priorities among cost, service, and operational requirements and influencing decisions with clear recommendations, tradeoffs, and data-driven insights
• Drive adoption of sourcing processes and tools, such as Coupa, across stakeholders, ensure sourcing activities are executed with visibility, consistency, and data integrity, partner with analytics and procurement operations to improve reporting and performance tracking, and support continuous improvement of sourcing processes and governance
