Purchasing Manager, Supplier Management

About the role

Reporting to the Director, Procurement Operations, the Purchasing Manager, Supplier Management supports the Oracle Procure-to-Pay ecosystem by strengthening supplier onboarding governance, improving supplier portal adoption, maintaining procurement-owned supplier attributes, and partnering closely with Accounts Payable, Finance, Compliance, Strategic Sourcing, and internal business stakeholders. Accounts Payable remains the owner of payment, tax, banking, remit-to, and legal entity validation data; this role coordinates with AP to ensure a seamless supplier setup and maintenance experience without duplicating AP-owned responsibilities.

Responsibilities

• Serve as Procurement’s first reviewer and coordinator for supplier onboarding requests, validating business need, request completeness, category alignment, and required procurement intake information before routing for approval or AP handoff.
• Own the procurement intake workflow for new supplier requests and supplier registration activities, ensuring requesters understand required steps, approval expectations, and supplier enablement timelines.
• Administer and maintain Oracle Supplier Portal registration activities, including supplier invitations, supplier onboarding status tracking, registration support, profile completion monitoring, and supplier follow-up.
• Lead current-supplier portal enablement activities during Supplier Portal launch, including registration outreach, adoption tracking, issue resolution, and escalation of barriers that prevent suppliers from completing registration.
• Coordinate closely with the AP Supplier Master Lead for supplier setup elements owned by AP, including payment-related, tax, banking, remit-to, and legal entity validation data.
• Support supplier onboarding readiness for sourcing awards, catalog/punchout enablement, purchase order issuance, and supplier communication expectations.
• Maintain procurement-owned supplier data elements in Oracle Procurement and related procurement tools, including supplier classifications, ordering method, purchasing site usage, procurement contact information, sourcing/category alignment, supplier status indicators, and procurement reporting attributes.
• Monitor supplier records for procurement-related data quality issues such as duplicate supplier indicators, inactive suppliers, outdated purchasing contacts, incomplete registration profiles, or supplier records that no longer support current purchasing activity.
• Lead supplier cleanup, rationalization, and lifecycle governance efforts that support PO adoption, catalog enablement, spend visibility, supplier compliance, and scalable Procurement Operations processes.
• Develop and maintain supplier onboarding SOPs, governance standards, intake checklists, role clarity documentation, and service-level expectations for procurement-owned supplier activities.
• Partner with AP, Finance, IT, Compliance, Strategic Sourcing, and business teams to define and sustain clear handoffs, controls, and segregation of duties across the supplier lifecycle.
• Serve as Procurement’s subject matter expert for supplier intake, supplier onboarding workflow, Oracle Supplier Portal registration, and procurement-owned supplier data governance.
• Support purchase requisition and purchase order activities as supplier onboarding volumes allow, including PO issue review, requester guidance, supplier-related PO troubleshooting, and purchasing inbox triage.
• Assist with purchasing inbox inquiries related to supplier setup status, supplier registration, ordering method, PO creation barriers, catalog readiness, and general Procurement Operations support.
• Help resolve supplier-related issues that impact PO creation, catalog ordering, invoice matching, supplier communication, or downstream procure-to-pay processing.
• Support PO adoption initiatives by ensuring suppliers are properly enabled for PO-based purchasing and by identifying process or data barriers that cause off-PO spend or manual workarounds.
• Participate in Oracle Procurement enhancement testing, user acceptance testing, process documentation, training support, and continuous improvement efforts that reduce manual intervention and improve stakeholder experience.
• Track supplier onboarding, portal registration, purchasing inbox, and PO support trends to identify recurring issues, training needs, control gaps, or workflow improvement opportunities.
