• Cultivate strong, trust-based relationships with stakeholders including executive management, focused on delivering against requirements while balancing cost and risk, leading to the optimal vendor solutions for the company.
• Establish and maintain strategic vendor partnerships and alliances that promote greater efficiency and value generation in the procurement process and facilitate constructive communications. Maintain a performance measurement and management program for key vendors.
• Define key metrics and necessary systems to track and report on procurement activity. Provide updates to both leadership and stakeholders on cost savings, vendor negotiations, spend under management, operational efficiencies, and future initiatives.
• Develop processes and drive periodic reviews and evaluations of commodities and services usage, price trends, and market conditions to develop, as appropriate, lower-cost substitutes and alternative sources of supply.

• Quantify, verify, and communicate your results with an eye to continue to drive early engagement with our team and awareness of the value we drive.
• Seek out continuous improvement opportunities, help progress them from ideation to execution, and ultimately deliver on these opportunities to continually get better at what we do.
