EY’s Supply Chain and Operations practice helps clients reinvent their end-to-end supply chains, business processes and operating models to deliver cost savings, increased resilience and sustainable value.

We are seeking a Manager to support the solutioning and delivery of complex digital procurement and Source-to-Pay technology programs. You will work with leading procurement platforms, including ZIP and GEP, and help clients translate procurement objectives into functional, technical, integration, data and delivery requirements.

This role combines strong Source-to-Pay process knowledge with hands-on implementation experience. You will lead workstreams and project teams, facilitate design decisions, manage delivery activities, build trusted client relationships, and support business development efforts.

Your key responsibilities

Lead digital procurement solutioning and delivery workstreams, with accountability for scope, quality, milestones, risks, dependencies and client outcomes.
Support opportunity qualification, discovery, solution development, estimation, proposal preparation, demonstrations and client presentations.
Translate client objectives and requirements into solution approaches, implementation roadmaps, workplans, resource models, assumptions and estimates.
Lead current-state assessments and future-state design sessions across relevant Source-to-Pay capabilities, including intake, supplier onboarding, sourcing, contracting, supplier risk, purchasing, invoicing, analytics and adjacent processes.
Document business, functional, technical, integration, data, reporting, security, control and nonfunctional requirements for ZIP and/or GEP implementations.
Apply knowledge of platform capabilities, configuration options, implementation considerations and AI-enabled features to develop practical solutions.
Facilitate working sessions, assess options and trade-offs, maintain design decisions, and escalate architecture matters that require senior leadership or design authority input.
Promote standard platform capabilities and disciplined design decisions while identifying where extensions or adjacent solutions may be required.
Manage procurement technology implementations or major workstreams through mobilization, design, build, testing, deployment, stabilization and transition.
Develop and maintain project plans, deliverables, dependency tracking, status reporting, decision logs, risks, issues and quality controls.
Coordinate functional, technical, integration, data, testing, change and deployment activities across client, EY, platform vendor and third-party teams.
Communicate with Procurement and IT stakeholders and translate business requirements into clear, actionable direction for technical delivery teams.
Lead and coach consultants and senior consultants, delegate work, review deliverables, and provide timely feedback.
Contribute to recruiting, onboarding, training, knowledge sharing, practice development, and go-to-market activities.

Skills and attributes for success

Strong functional knowledge of Source-to-Pay processes and an understanding of supporting technology, data, integrations, controls and operating models.

Ability to connect procurement requirements to platform capabilities and identify decisions, risks and dependencies requiring escalation.

Ability to lead structured client discussions and communicate complex functional and technical topics clearly.

Strong project management, facilitation, analytical, problem-solving, organizational and client relationship skills.

Demonstrated ability to lead teams, manage competing priorities and produce clear, accurate and client-ready deliverables.

Ability to collaborate across client, EY, platform vendor and third-party teams.

Commercial awareness and the ability to contribute credible content, estimates and delivery insights to pursuits.

To qualify for the role, you must have

A bachelor’s degree in business, supply chain, information systems, engineering or a related field and approximately five years of related work experience; or a graduate degree and approximately four years of related work experience.

Hands-on experience with ZIP and/or GEP, including platform capabilities, implementation methods, configuration, integration considerations and AI-enabled functionality.

Experience leading process design, requirements definition, solution design, testing, deployment and project management activities for procurement technology programs.
