Sr. Manager, Strategic Sourcing - Capital Equipment & Facilities

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Work Mode: Onsite Location: Onsite, four days per week - Kohler, WI Opportunity: description. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading (the page already shows it). So we don't add a heading for job title. We need to include sections: About the role (maybe the "Opportunity" paragraph). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (maybe "Skills/Requirements" section). Qualifications (maybe degree etc). Skills (maybe separate). Benefits (day 1 benefits). Pay (salary range). Schedule (Work Mode: Onsite, four days per week). Also maybe "Supplier Diversity & Sustainability" etc but those are not headings we need; we only use allowed headings. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. We must preserve all substantive information. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We need to avoid filler sections like "commensurate with experience". We have actual salary range, so Pay section is valid. Schedule: we have "Onsite, four days per week - Kohler, WI". That's schedule info. Benefits: "day 1 benefits" description. Now we need to extract responsibilities: The posting has "Specific Responsibilities" with subheadings: Strategic Sourcing & Category Leadership, Construction Management & Capital Plan Execution, Financial Performance & Value Delivery, Stakeholder Engagement & Compliance, Operating Model & Capability Transformation, Supplier Diversity & Sustainability, People Leadership. We need to list duties as bullet points under Responsibilities. Should we keep subheadings? Possibly we can embed them as part of bullet text or separate

  ? But only allowed headings are the specified ones; we cannot add other headings. So we should just produce a list of responsibilities, possibly grouping via bullet points with semicolons. We must preserve all substantive information; we can include the details in bullet points. Similarly for Requirements/Skills/Qualifications: The posting has "Skills/Requirements" with bullet-like sentences. Also earlier there is "Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or advanced degree preferred". That's qualifications. Also "Applicants must be authorized to work in the US without requiring sponsorship now or in the future." That's a requirement. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (Opportunity paragraph). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe combine qualifications and skills). But we have separate allowed headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could split: Qualifications: education, experience, authorization. Skills: specific skills like TCO/LCC, influencing, etc. Requirements maybe the bullet list of duties? Actually duties go under Responsibilities. So we can put qualifications under Qualifications, skills under Skills, and maybe Requirements for any other mandatory items like work authorization. But we must not create sections with filler. If we have content for each, we include. Let's extract: About the role: The paragraph after "Opportunity": "The Senior Manager, Indirect Sourcing is responsible for driving strategic value across indirect procurement, with a heightened emphasis on construction management, capital project execution, cost savings delivery, stakeholder engagement, and operational transformation. This role provides sourcing leadership and commercial oversight for construction and capital programs, ensuring projects are planned, sourced, contracted, and executed with strong governance, supplier accountability, budget discipline, schedule adherence, risk mitigation, and clear alignment to business priorities. The role enables the organization to shift from tactical purchasing support to proactive construction sourcing excellence and disciplined project execution. The role partners closely with Project Management, Operations, Engineering, and Finance to deliver measurable financial, operational, and sustainability outcomes." We can put that in

  under

  About the role

  . Responsibilities: We need to list all bullet points from the "Specific Responsibilities" sections. Let's extract each bullet: Under Strategic Sourcing & Category Leadership: - Develop and implement global and regional indirect category strategies, with primary ownership for construction, capital projects, equipment, engineering services, facilities services, and related project execution support. - Apply total cost of ownership (TCO) and LCC sourcing methodologies to optimize long-term value, not just initial price. - Lead sourcing initiatives from strategy through execution, including scope alignment, bid strategy, RFx development, contractor prequalification, negotiations, contracting, change-order controls, and supplier performance management. Construction Management & Capital Plan Execution: - Partner with Project Management, Engineering, Operations, and Facilities teams to ensure construction and capital projects are scoped, sourced, awarded, mobilized, and executed within approved budget, schedule, quality, safety, and compliance expectations. - Establish construction sourcing governance, contractor strategies, bid leveling discipline, award recommendations, execution readiness reviews, escalation paths, and risk mitigation plans to support on-time project delivery. - Monitor project spend, savings realization, commitments, change orders, claims exposure, contractor performance, schedule risks, and commercial issues throughout the capital lifecycle. - Support construction execution by ensuring clear commercial terms, defined contractor responsibilities, site readiness requirements, milestone tracking, invoice validation, lien waiver coordination, warranty expectations, and closeout documentation are incorporated into sourcing and contracting activities. - Drive accountability with general contractors, construction managers, design partners, and specialty trade suppliers through structured business reviews, performance scorecards, issue resolution, and corrective action plans. - Coordinate early procurement involvement in capital planning to improve estimate accuracy, sourcing lead times, contractor capacity planning, material availability, and execution sequencing before project approval and launch. Financial Performance & Value Delivery: - Deliver validated cost savings through strategic sourcing, demand management, and commercial optimization. - Partner with Finance to ensure savings tracking, realization, and reporting align with financial standards. - Provide commercial controls for construction projects by validating bid assumptions, challenging scope gaps, managing contingency exposure, supporting change-order governance, and escalating budget or schedule risks before they impact project delivery. - Improve working capital by identifying and executing opportunities to increase DPO by 1 day while maintaining strong supplier relationships. Stakeholder Engagement & Compliance: - Engage business stakeholders to reduce fragmented and non-compliant onsite spending by reinforcing procurement policies and preferred supplier usage. - Act as a trusted advisor to senior leaders by balancing speed, compliance, and value creation. - Drive adoption of sourcing strategies through change management, communication, and influence. Operating Model & Capability Transformation: - Lead the transition of tactical procurement activities to PSG, clearly defining roles, handoffs, and service levels. - Enable the indirect sourcing team to focus on high-impact strategic initiatives rather than transactional work. - Establish scalable processes, governance, and KPIs to support long-term sourcing maturity. Supplier Diversity & Sustainability: - Support and advance supplier diversity, sustainability, and ESG objectives across indirect categories. - Partner with internal ESG teams to integrate sustainability criteria into sourcing decisions and supplier evaluations. - Track and report progress against diversity and sustainability goals. People Leadership: - Lead, coach, and develop a team of sourcing professionals, fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement. - Set clear goals and performance expectations aligned to business priorities. - Build sourcing capability through mentoring, training, and best-practice sharing. We'll put these as
  • items. Now Requirements: maybe we list the mandatory items: "Applicants must be authorized to work in the US without requiring sponsorship now or in the future." Also maybe "Bachelor’s degree required" is qualification. But we can treat that under Qualifications. Qualifications: "Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or advanced degree preferred". Also maybe "7+ years of progressive experience in strategic sourcing, procurement, construction sourcing, construction management support, or capital project execution, with significant indirect and construction spend exposure". That's experience requirement; could be under Qualifications or Requirements. We'll put under Qualifications. Skills/Requirements section includes many skill items: "Proven track record supporting large-scale construction or capital projects delivered on budget, on schedule, and in alignment with quality, safety, compliance, and stakeholder expectations", "Experience with construction contracting models, contractor prequalification, bid leveling, change-order management, project controls, claims avoidance, site execution support, and capital project closeout processes", "Ability to influence cross-functional project teams and contractors to resolve execution issues, manage commercial risk, and maintain momentum against project milestones", "Experience developing and executing global or regional category strategies", "Strong financial acumen, including TCO/LCC and working capital optimization", "Demonstrated success leading teams and influencing senior stakeholders". Also maybe "Applicants must be authorized to work in the US without requiring sponsorship now or in the future." That's a requirement. We could split: Qualifications: education, experience, work authorization. Skills: the skill items. But we have to avoid duplication. Let's decide:

    Qualifications

    Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or advanced degree preferred.

    7+ years of progressive experience in strategic sourcing, procurement, construction sourcing, construction management support, or capital project execution, with significant indirect and construction spend exposure.

    Applicants must be authorized to work in the US without requiring sponsorship now or in the future.

    Skills

    • Proven track record supporting large-scale construction or capital projects delivered on budget, on schedule, and in alignment with quality, safety, compliance, and stakeholder expectations.
    • Experience with construction contracting models, contractor prequalification, bid leveling, change-order management, project controls, claims avoidance, site execution support, and capital project closeout processes.
    • Ability to influence cross-functional project teams and contractors to resolve execution issues, manage commercial risk, and maintain momentum against project milestones.
    • Experience developing and executing global or regional category strategies.
    • Strong financial acumen, including TCO/LCC and working capital optimization.
    • Demonstrated success leading teams and influencing senior stakeholders.
    Now Benefits: "We believe in supporting you from the moment you join us, which is why Kohler offers day 1 benefits. This means you’ll have access to your applicable benefit programs from your first day on the job, with no waiting period." Also later: "Why Choose Kohler? We empower each associate to #BecomeMoreAtKohler with a competitive total rewards package to support your health and wellbeing, access to career growth and development opportunities, a diverse and inclusive workplace, and a strong culture of innovation." That's also benefits but maybe we can include as benefits. We'll put Benefits section with bullet points: day 1 benefits, competitive total rewards package (health and wellbeing, career growth, development, diverse inclusive workplace, culture of innovation). Also maybe "With more than 30,000 bold leaders across the globe, we’re driving meaningful change..." but that's more about company. We'll keep substantive. Pay: Salary range: $145,350 - $228,450. Also mention performance bonus/variable incentive compensation. Schedule: "Work Mode: Onsite Location: Onsite, four days per week - Kohler, WI". So schedule: Onsite, four days per week, Kohler, WI. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title. Now produce HTML fragment with sections in order: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements?, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we have both Requirements and Qualifications; we might combine Requirements into Qualifications? The instruction says use headings for those categories if they exist. We have content for Requirements (work authorization) and Qualifications (education, experience). Could also treat work authorization as a Requirement. Let's keep both. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Make sure not to include empty sections. Now produce HTML. We'll need to escape any special characters? Not needed. Let's craft.
