Lead the overhaul and optimization of vendor management processes post-acquisition, partnering cross-functionally to ensure compliance, cost-efficiency, and alignment with company goals.
Extensive experience in procurement, vendor management, or supply chain leadership with proven project management expertise and experience in post-acquisition vendor integration.
Our client needs a sharp, results-driven vendor management expert to take ownership of vendors and deliver outcomes. With a recent significant acquisition, and with the merging of two companies comes duplication, chaos, and an endless list of actions. This role is critical for the organization as we move forward. We need someone who can make an impact quickly. If you thrive in a high-energy, no-nonsense environment where action is valued over endless discussions, we want to talk to you. Who You Are: You’re a strategic thinker and a hands-on executor. You don’t wait for instructions—you assess, act, and adjust as needed. You’re comfortable working in a fast-paced, startup-like environment where things aren’t always perfectly structured (yet). You ask the right questions, make informed decisions, and don’t need constant direction. If you’re excited by the idea of building something scalable from the ground up and leaving a lasting impact, this role is for you. What You’ll Do: ● Take the lead in cleaning up and overhauling our vendor management process post-acquisition. ● Focus on upcoming renewals and vendors that do not currently have a known renewal date. ● Assess existing vendor management processes and pinpoint inefficiencies, gaps, and opportunities. ● Design and implement a streamlined, scalable vendor management framework that balances compliance, cost-efficiency, and operational needs. ● Develop clear, actionable policies for vendor selection, onboarding, and management. ● Partner with finance, compliance, legal, and the Integration Management Office (IMO) to ensure alignment. ● Establish KPIs to measure vendor performance and vendor management effectiveness. ● Partner with leadership to ensure vendor management aligns with company goals and growth strategy. ● Provide training and documentation to support a smooth transition and long-term adoption. What You Bring to the Table: ● Extensive experience in procurement, vendor management, or supply chain leadership. ● A strong track record in process development, contract negotiation, and vendor evaluation. ● A sharp eye for inefficiencies and the ability to build better systems from scratch. ● Project management expertise—because overhauling a process requires clear planning and execution. ● Exceptional communication skills—you’ll be working cross-functionally with leadership and teams across the organization. ● Must Have: Experience with post-acquisition vendor integration. This is a high-impact role where you’ll leave behind a lasting legacy. If you’re ready to step in, optimize, and make an immediate difference, let’s talk.
