Broadridge is seeking an International Procurement Transformation Director who will serve as an active leader, regularly engaging with executives across Europe and Asia Pacific to understand their priorities and help to deliver with results aligned to their success.
You will be expected to be hands-on and demonstrate decisioning frameworks which consider ROI, trade-offs, cycle time and quality, risk mitigation, and sustainability. The ideal candidate is well versed in sales techniques and comfortable leading negotiations across large commercial deals, adept at balancing and aligning partner needs with deal economics and near-and-longer-term organizational priorities.
You must possess legal and commercial knowledge including an understanding of the products and services required for smooth operation, procurement management tools, and buy-side dynamics within the company environment (highly matrixed, multi-product, global footprint).
Responsibilities:
- Lead the transformation of the international procurement function across EMEA and APAC, evolving it from an ad hoc, reactive, operational model into a strategic, centralized sourcing and advisory function.
- Coordinate efforts and work very closely with all the functional leaders of the Global Procurement organization and implement consistent and standard processes and policies, and adopted tools.
- Act as a strategic partner to business unit heads (e.g. HR, Legal, IT, Marketing) to understand their business needs, project pipelines and budgets providing clear recommendations which are grounded in strong financial and operational criteria.
- Partner with various departments to review, draft and negotiate vendor contracts, ensuring compliance with company policies and legal requirements.
- Serve as a Strategic Sourcing Group ambassador across the International organization by acting as the primary point of contact and subject matter expert for all procurement matters, providing strategic guidance and expertise across the organization.
- Define and implement category strategies across 3 segments (local, regional and global) including identifying areas of vendor concentration risk and opportunities for consolidation as well as providing market insights.
- Define annual targets, continuous improvement projects, contract bidding and negotiation practices, and measure the competitiveness of programs against applicable benchmarks.
- Work closely with Management to identify performance issues and continuously implement programs to upgrade technical, business and interpersonal skills.
- Work with the broader Strategic Sourcing Group leaders reporting to the CPO, ensuring alignment of International to the broader global strategic direction of the function.
- Keep Source-to-Pay management informed of all work in progress and major issues.
- Managing and mentoring a small team of junior buyers, ensuring collaboration across the multiple geographies, and with the broader global Strategic Sourcing team.
