Responsibilities

• Own and execute the global storage category strategy, covering software‑defined storage platforms and associated support and services across all storage tiers.

• Lead negotiations for high‑value agreements such as storage software rate cards, multi‑year license structures, media and OEM supply agreements, and enterprise SaaS contracts and renewals to achieve best‑in‑class commercial outcomes and risk mitigation.
• Drive FinOps‑style governance of consumption‑ and usage‑based software spend, ensuring commitments, discounts, and actual usage stay aligned and that renewals are negotiated from a data‑driven position.
• Build and strengthen key vendor relationships with storage software providers, drive and media manufacturers, storage OEMs, and strategic SaaS and AI software providers to maximize long‑term value and innovation.
• Partner directly with storage engineering, infrastructure, information security, and finance teams on tiering architecture decisions, capacity planning, vendor risk, and investment business cases.

Requirements

• 8+ years of strategic sourcing or vendor management experience spanning infrastructure (storage, data platforms) and enterprise software categories.
• Direct experience procuring storage at scale—including software‑defined storage platforms and enterprise or hyperscale storage hardware.
• Proven track record managing a large SaaS portfolio: complex renewals, multi‑year enterprise agreements, license optimization, and vendor consolidation programs.
• Familiarity with modern AI software commercial models (token/usage‑based pricing, committed spend structures, seat‑plus‑consumption hybrids) strongly preferred.
• Experience running or commercially leading technical POCs and structured vendor evaluations alongside engineering teams.
• Strong analytical and financial modeling skills; comfort building normalized cost frameworks and defending them to engineering and finance leadership.
