Business Performance Improvement - Supply Chain & Operations - Sourcing & Procurement Manager

About the Role

Protiviti is looking for a Supply Chain & Operations Manager with deep Procure-to-Pay (P2P) expertise to join our growing Business Performance Improvement team. This role is ideal for a technology-forward consulting professional who combines strong functional procurement knowledge with hands-on P2P platform implementation experience.

What You Can Expect

As a Manager on the Supply Chain & Operations team, you will lead client engagements focused on end-to-end P2P transformation — from strategy and process design through technology implementation and go-live support.

• Lead P2P workstreams on procurement transformation programs, covering requisition-to-order, purchase order management, invoice processing, supplier enablement, and payment optimization.
• Serve as a functional and technical subject matter expert on one or more P2P platforms (e.g., Coupa, Ariba, GEP, Oracle Procurement Cloud, SAP S/4HANA, Workday Procurement/WSS), guiding clients from requirements through configuration and testing.
• Conduct spend analysis, process mining, and cycle time analyses to diagnose inefficiencies and quantify opportunities across the procure-to-pay cycle.
• Design and optimize procurement processes aligned to client operating models, compliance requirements, and technology capabilities.
• Leverage automation tools including Microsoft Power Automate, Power Apps, and Co-Pilot / Gen AI to reduce manual effort and improve P2P throughput and controls.
• Develop and present findings, recommendations, and roadmaps to client stakeholders including senior leadership and C-suite executives.
• Mentor and coach Senior Consultants and Consultants, overseeing their development and the quality of their deliverables.
• Contribute to business development by supporting proposal preparation, solution design, and client presentations.

What Will Help You Be Successful

• You are energized by the intersection of procurement process and technology, and thrive translating complex P2P requirements into practical platform configurations and workflow solutions.
• You are passionate about data — spend analysis, process analytics, and surfacing insights that drive measurable cost and cycle-time improvements.
• You excel at building trusted client relationships and communicating technical concepts clearly to both operational and executive audiences.
• You take ownership of engagement quality and are motivated to develop junior team members into strong consultants.
• You are curious about emerging tools like Gen AI, process mining, and intelligent automation and actively bring new ideas to client engagements.
• You thrive in a fast-paced consulting environment and can manage multiple workstreams and client priorities simultaneously.
