This role combines end-to-end procurement execution, sourcing/RFP support, savings delivery, pipeline management, and PMO governance. The ideal candidate can work directly with Procurement and Finance leadership, translate procurement data into executive-ready materials, and drive initiatives and action items through closure.

• Demonstrated experience with RFP/RFQ/sourcing processes and procurement execution.
• Proven experience driving or delivering measurable procurement savings.
• Strong Excel and PowerPoint skills with experience creating executive-level presentations and reporting.
