Please Note:This position will be relocating to Atlanta, GA (Uptown; 575 Main Street Atlanta, GA) in Late Fall 2026.

Job Purpose

Own the most complex, highest-spend categories in the tower—categories with volatile pricing, global supply bases, or multi-year strategic agreements that require sophisticated negotiation. Set the benchmark for how sourcing work is accomplished and informally develop Sourcing Managers (SMs). Deliver consistent above-target savings on complex categories.

Essential Functions

Advanced Category Strategy & Execution
- Own multi-year strategies for the most complex categories — market analysis, supply risk assessment, cost modeling, and multi-year sourcing roadmap
- Lead sophisticated RFx events — multi-round negotiations, complex bid structures, strategic partnership agreements, and long-term supply contracts
- Negotiate framework agreements and long-term supply contracts with favorable pricing, volume commitments, and risk-sharing provisions
- Lead cross-category consolidation opportunities — identify suppliers serving multiple indirect categories and build the business case for consolidation
- Maintain the tower's highest-priority supplier relationships at an executive level — conduct strategic reviews, manage escalations, and negotiate partnership terms
Peer Development & Tower Leadership
- Informally mentor Sourcing Managers in the tower — review their category strategies, coach their negotiation preparation, and develop their commercial instincts
- Share market intelligence broadly — proactively brief the tower on supply dynamics, pricing trends, and risk signals that affect other categories
- Serve as the Sr. Director's first call on complex category questions — provide analysis and recommendations that inform tower strategy
- Represent the tower in cross-functional meetings where deep category expertise is required
Performance & Savings Delivery
- Deliver above-target savings consistently — 3+ consecutive years is the baseline expectation
- Maintain the most sophisticated savings tracking in the tower — methodology documented, Finance-aligned, and defensible in an EVP review
- Contribute meaningfully to the procurement scorecard — own the tower's highest-impact savings line items
Support food safety program, quality standards, and legality of manufactured products
Perform other job-related duties as assigned
