You Should Apply If You Bring

  • 10+ years of progressive procurement experience, with expertise in outsourced or contingent labor sourcing (travel industry labor experience a strong plus) and logistics sourcing (e.g., long-haul car shuttling)
  • Proven success in building and executing sourcing strategies across fragmented supplier bases, including driving compliance and alignment.
  • Strong stakeholder management and collaboration skills with the ability to influence across functions and levels.
  • Solid negotiation, contracting, and supplier relationship management skills.
