Senior Contract Manager – Energy Procurement (Healthcare)

📍 Nashville, TN

🕓 Full-Time | Days | No Weekends

About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Senior Contract Manager to join our Purchased Services sourcing team, specializing in energy procurement within the healthcare sector. This is a strategic role focused on contract negotiation, energy sourcing, and project execution to deliver value-driven solutions for healthcare provider networks across the U.S.

In this role, you'll lead energy sourcing projects from cradle to grave — from spend analysis and RFP management to contract negotiation and implementation — while collaborating with internal stakeholders and external healthcare clients (IDNs). This is a high-impact position requiring deep industry expertise, strong analytical skills, and the ability to manage multiple complex initiatives with tight timelines.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and manage aggregated sourcing events to deliver high-quality, cost-effective energy contracts
  • Oversee end-to-end RFP processes : vendor research, bid strategy, RFP development, proposal evaluation, and contract execution
  • Negotiate energy supply deals on behalf of members, ensuring optimal pricing and service terms
  • Partner with analysts and cross-functional teams to validate data, build spend assessments, and generate initiative scorecards
  • Engage with multiple healthcare provider networks (IDNs) to align sourcing strategies with their energy needs
  • Draft and refine contract language in collaboration with legal and regulatory teams
  • Provide weekly project updates and performance reporting to senior leadership
  • Ensure accurate tracking of KPIs, timelines, deliverables, and savings outcomes
  • Train and support junior staff or analysts on sourcing best practices and process improvements

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s Degree required
  • 5-7 years’ experience in energy sourcing, procurement, or contract negotiation — preferably in a healthcare or GPO setting
  • Strong understanding of energy markets (brokers, consultants, suppliers) and contract structures
  • Experience managing multiple customer accounts or IDNs across different regions
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook)
  • Excellent written and verbal communication and presentation skills
  • Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and time management
  • Must be a collaborative team player comfortable working in fast-paced environments with compressed timelines
  • Preferred Background

  • Previous experience with energy procurement in a healthcare GPO, hospital system, or energy consulting firm
  • Experience working in other commodity categories may also be considered if energy experience is robust
  • Demonstrated success delivering measurable cost savings through strategic sourcing initiatives
  • Why Join Us?

    This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a dynamic sourcing team driving innovation and savings in the healthcare industry. If you thrive in a results-driven environment and are passionate about energy procurement and contract management, we want to hear from you.
