A major client of Insight Global is seeking a strategic and commercially minded Senior Sourcing Strategist to help elevate the maturity and impact of its procurement organization. This individual will move beyond traditional, transactional buying and serve as a consultative partner to business stakeholders across corporate services categories.
The Senior Sourcing Strategist will create and execute category strategies, lead complex RFPs, negotiate commercial and contractual terms, manage strategic suppliers, and identify cost, service, and risk-optimization opportunities. The role will primarily support indirect spend categories such as HR, Marketing, Professional Services, Finance and Banking, and Legal Services. Technology procurement experience is welcome but is not the central focus of the position.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced sourcing professional who enjoys building strategies where limited procurement infrastructure currently exists. The ideal candidate can independently review contracts and statements of work, identify unfavorable terms, conduct initial negotiations, and engage Legal as a strategic partner rather than relying on Legal to lead all commercial discussions.
The position requires a tactful, influential approach. Business stakeholders currently own many supplier relationships, so success will depend on the ability to introduce procurement discipline without damaging established partnerships.
