Vice President, Procurement

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About Lightsource bp", "The opportunity", "What you’ll do", "Who we’re looking for", "What we offer", "Why Lightsource bp". According to rules: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map sections accordingly. The posting includes "What you’ll do" (responsibilities), "Who we’re looking for" (requirements/qualifications/skills), "What we offer" (benefits), "Why Lightsource bp" (maybe about company). Also "About Lightsource bp" could be about company but not required. We should include sections only when there is real specific content. We'll include: -

About the role

maybe combine "The opportunity" and "About Lightsource bp"? But "About the role" is a generic heading; we can put the description of the role (the opportunity). We'll include the paragraph(s) describing the role. -

Responsibilities

for "What you’ll do" list. -

Requirements

for "Who we’re looking for" (experience, qualifications). Could also split into Qualifications and Skills but we can combine. -

Benefits

for "What we offer". -

Schedule

maybe from "Hybrid schedule, with Tuesday through Thursday in the office". Also mention work arrangement: Hybrid, three days per week in the office. So schedule section. - Pay: Not given specific numbers, only "Competitive Base Salary Annual bonus opportunity". That's vague; rule says do NOT create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state competitive base salary and annual bonus opportunity, but not specific numbers. Is that enough? It says "Competitive Base Salary Annual bonus opportunity". That's still a statement about pay, albeit not specific. The rule: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". "Competitive Base Salary Annual bonus opportunity" is vague but not exactly placeholder like "commensurate with experience". It's still somewhat generic but maybe acceptable? However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be better to omit Pay section because it's not specific. The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state them (competitive base salary, annual bonus). So we could include Pay section with that statement. But we need to avoid filler. It's not exactly filler but it's vague. I'd lean to include Pay section with that statement. Schedule: we have specifics: Hybrid, three days per week in the office, Tuesday through Thursday. So we can include Schedule. Benefits: we have list: Competitive Base Salary (already maybe in Pay), Annual bonus opportunity, Medical, dental, prescription, and vision coverage beginning on your first day, Retention bonus program, Four weeks of vacation and three weeks of sick leave annually, 11 paid holidays, 401(k) plan with a 3% nonelective employer contribution, Hybrid schedule (maybe duplicate), Monthly personal phone reimbursement of up to $100, Monthly commuter benefit of up to $150, Lifestyle Savings Account and additional benefits. We'll put those in Benefits. We also need to remove boilerplate: EEO etc. Remove that. We need to preserve all substantive information. So include the description paragraphs. We'll structure:

About the role

... (the opportunity paragraph(s) maybe combine About Lightsource bp and The opportunity). We'll include the description of Lightsource bp mission and the opportunity.

Responsibilities

• ... each bullet from "What you’ll do"

Requirements

• ... each bullet from "Who we’re looking for"

Benefits

• ... each bullet from "What we offer"

Schedule

Hybrid schedule with three days per week in the office (Tuesday through Thursday).

Pay

Competitive base salary with annual bonus opportunity.

We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID. We must not include markdown fences. Just raw HTML. Let's extract bullets precisely. From "What you’ll do": - Lead, coach, and develop the Americas procurement organization, including a team of five directors. - Define and execute the regional procurement strategy in alignment with global priorities and business objectives. - Establish category strategies for BESS, solar PV, high-voltage equipment, and other major procurement categories. - Lead complex, high-value negotiations involving equipment, services, strategic partnerships, and multiyear framework agreements. - Develop sourcing strategies that optimize pricing, quality, delivery, contractual flexibility, and risk allocation. - Strengthen supplier relationships and establish long-term commercial partnerships that support portfolio growth. - Monitor geopolitical, trade, tariff, regulatory, logistics, and market developments, translating them into actionable procurement strategies. - Build supply chain resilience by identifying capacity constraints, logistics challenges, concentration risks, and single-source dependencies. - Partner with senior stakeholders to support project development, investment decisions, diligence, financial close, and delivery. - Establish effective procurement governance, commercial approval frameworks, and performance standards. - Ensure robust commercial risk management throughout supplier onboarding, contracting, and project execution. - Oversee procurement support for key project milestones, including bid strategy, supplier selection, contract execution, and delivery readiness. - Support investment tax credit and production tax credit qualification efforts through strategic procurement and safe harbor planning, where applicable. - Measure performance through KPIs, executive reporting, and category-level analysis. - Drive continuous improvement across procurement systems, processes, governance, and team capability. From "Who we’re looking for": - At least 10 years of progressive experience in procurement, sourcing, supply chain, or commercial leadership. - At least five years of experience leading teams, preferably at the director level or above. - Demonstrated success developing and executing procurement strategies for utility-scale energy, infrastructure, or similarly complex capital projects. - Significant utility-scale BESS and/or solar PV procurement experience. - Deep knowledge of renewable energy equipment and supplier markets, including batteries, integrators, modules, inverters, trackers, racking, and high-voltage equipment. - Experience leading major commercial negotiations and managing complex contracts, supplier relationships, and multiyear framework agreements. - Strong knowledge of global sourcing, logistics, tariffs, trade compliance, import and export requirements, and supply chain risk. - Financial acumen across pricing models, commodities, inflation, indexation, and forecasting. - A record of building, developing, and retaining high-performing teams. - Strong executive communication, stakeholder management, negotiation, and influencing skills. - Experience operating within an international, highly matrixed organization. - A bachelor’s degree in business, supply chain, engineering, STEM, or a related field. Significant relevant experience may be considered in place of a degree. - Willingness and ability to travel approximately 10% to 20%. - An MBA or professional certification such as CPSM, CSCP, or CIPS is preferred. - Spanish or Mandarin language skills and experience with data center power, hybrid energy solutions, or natural gas peaking generation would also be valuable. From "What we offer": - Competetive Base Salary (typo: Competetive) – we keep as is? Should we correct? Probably keep as is but it's a typo; we should preserve original text. It says "Competetive Base Salary". We'll keep that. - Annual bonus opportunity - Medical, dental, prescription, and vision coverage beginning on your first day - Retention bonus program - Four weeks of vacation and three weeks of sick leave annually - 11 paid holidays - 401(k) plan with a 3% nonelective employer contribution - Hybrid schedule, with Tuesday through Thursday in the office - Monthly personal phone reimbursement of up to $100 - Monthly commuter benefit of up to $150 - Lifestyle Savings Account and additional benefits We already have Schedule section; we might not duplicate hybrid schedule in Benefits. But we can keep it there as benefit; but rule: avoid duplication? It says remove duplicated lines. The hybrid schedule appears both in work arrangement and benefits. We should not duplicate. So we can keep schedule section and not include hybrid schedule in benefits list. However the benefits list includes "Hybrid schedule, with Tuesday through Thursday in the office". If we remove it from benefits, we are removing some substantive info? But we already have schedule section covering that. It's okay to not duplicate. We'll keep schedule section and omit that line from benefits. Also "Competetive Base Salary" and "Annual bonus opportunity" we moved to Pay section; we should not duplicate them in benefits. So benefits list will exclude those. Thus benefits list: - Medical, dental, prescription, and vision coverage beginning on your first day - Retention bonus program - Four weeks of vacation and three weeks of sick leave annually - 11 paid holidays - 401(k) plan with a 3% nonelective employer contribution - Monthly personal phone reimbursement of up to $100 - Monthly commuter benefit of up to $150 - Lifestyle Savings Account and additional benefits Now About the role section: we need to include description from "About Lightsource bp" and "The opportunity". Let's combine. About Lightsource bp paragraph: "Lightsource bp is on a mission to become a global leader in onshore renewables, anchored by our proven track record in solar development. For over a decade, we have worked to diversify the way our world is powered through sustainable and responsible renewable energy. We safely deliver affordable, reliable, utility-scale renewable energy and storage solutions that support global decarbonization, long-term sustainable growth, and energy security." The opportunity paragraph: "Lightsource bp is seeking a Vice President of Procurement, Americas to lead our regional procurement organization and shape the commercial strategy supporting our utility-scale solar and battery energy storage system portfolio. Reporting to the Global Head of Procurement, you will lead and develop a team of five directors while setting the strategic direction for sourcing, contracting, supplier management, procurement governance, and commercial risk mitigation across the Americas. You will align regional priorities with our global procurement strategy while ensuring our teams have the supplier relationships, commercial frameworks, and supply chain resilience needed to deliver a growing portfolio of renewable energy projects. This is a highly visible leadership position requiring deep renewable energy procurement expertise, sound commercial judgment, and the ability to influence decisions across a complex, international organization. You will partner with senior leaders across Development, Engineering, Construction, Legal, Finance, Insurance, Operations, HSQE, and Power Marketing to improve project economics, support investment decisions, and manage risk throughout the project lifecycle. The position may be based in our Austin, Denver, or San Francisco office, with a hybrid schedule that includes working in the office Tuesday through Thursday." We'll put that in About the role. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove. Now produce HTML fragment. Let's craft:
