  • Lead RFPs & RFQs, contract negotiations (MSA), and execution to secure optimal terms while maintaining compliance and risk management.
  • Innovation & New Product Development

  • Lead new product development in the PPE space from a procurement perspective
  • Partner with engineering and product management to ensure suppliers meet technical, safety, and regulatory requirements.
  • Financial & Operational Ownership

  • Own financial reporting and analysis for the insourced PPE category, including VFS, PPV, ideation savings, and cash flow.
  • Identify cost savings opportunities through process improvements, supplier negotiations, and design-to-value efforts.
  • Serve as owner of Operations Reviews, ensuring transparency, accountability, and cross-functional alignment.
  • The TOOLS you'll bring with you :

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, or related field; advanced degree preferred.
  • 5+ years of experience in strategic sourcing, commodity management, or supply chain leadership.
  • Demonstrated experience managing global supply bases and high-growth product categories.
  • Knowledge of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) markets, safety standards, and manufacturing processes strongly preferred.
  • Strong negotiation and analytical skills, with proven track record of delivering savings and mitigating risk.
  • Ability to develop strong cross-functional partnerships and influence stakeholders across multiple functions.
  • Results-driven, deadline-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple projects simultaneously.
