Senior Manager / Procurement Strategy Consulting / Sourcing & Procurement

We are seeking a Senior Manager to join our Sourcing & Procurement practice. This is a senior client-facing role that combines deep functional procurement expertise with a strong business development mindset. The successful candidate will lead complex client engagements across Spend Optimization and Procurement Reinvention, develop relationships at C-level, and actively contribute to the growth of the practice - ideally bringing an existing network in the Resources sector (Utilities, Oil & Gas).

Client Delivery & Functional Leadership

● Lead end-to-end procurement transformation engagements, covering spend analysis, sourcing strategy, category management, supplier performance, and operating model design.

● Deploy Spend Optimization solutions (SG&A and COGS) and Procurement Reinvention programs, including AI-first operating model design, process redesign, and ecosystem integration (SAP/Ariba, Coupa, iValua, iCertis).

● Oversee the design and implementation of Supplier 360 and procurement analytics dashboards to enable client visibility and insight-driven decision-making.

● Drive value realization through outcome-based commercial models, with a track record of delivering measurable results (cost savings, supplier reduction, compliance improvement).

● Build and nurture C-level relationships (CPO, CFO, COO, CSCO) at existing and target accounts, acting as a trusted advisor and thought partner.

● Proactively identify and qualify new business opportunities, contributing to proposals, RFP responses, and executive presentations.

● Leverage an existing network - particularly in the Resources sector (Utilities, Oil & Gas) - to generate pipeline and accelerate commercial conversations.

● Develop compelling points of view and credentials that differentiate the firm's offering in the market.

● Manage and mentor multi-disciplinary project teams, fostering a high-performance culture and developing junior talent.

● Contribute to internal capability building, including knowledge management, methodology development, and training programs.

● Collaborate with ecosystem partners (SAP, Coupa, iValua, and others) and cross-functional teams to design integrated solutions.

The ideal candidate has built their career at the intersection of functional procurement excellence and strategic consulting - ideally with a background at a Big 4, top-tier management consulting firm, or specialist procurement advisory (e.g., Efficio, Proxima, Accenture, McKinsey, BCG, Kearney). They have operated at Senior Manager or equivalent level, led multi-million-dollar engagements, and are now ready to take on increased commercial responsibility.

Equally important is a strong client network - particularly among CPOs, CFOs, and operations leaders in Utilities, Oil & Gas, or adjacent sectors - and the demonstrated ambition and capability to convert that network into business.
