Drive quarterly planning and execution, maintaining visibility into milestones, risks, dependencies, resource needs, and delivery timelines across multiple concurrent initiatives.
Contribute directly to project delivery, including requirements gathering, process design, testing coordination, documentation, rollout planning, training, and change enablement.
Partner with Procurement verticals to accelerate execution, helping teams define problems, structure workstreams, develop solutions, and move projects from idea to implementation.
Lead governance and operating rhythms, including project reviews, leadership updates, status reporting, issue escalation, and decision tracking.
Coordinate cross-functional implementations involving Procurement, Legal, Finance, Security, Privacy, Risk, and Enterprise Platform Technology teams.
Develop executive-ready communications and reporting, translating complex programs into clear updates, recommendations, risks, and outcomes.
Define success metrics and measure outcomes, leveraging data and insights to evaluate adoption, operational performance, process effectiveness, and business impact.
Support continuous improvement efforts, identifying opportunities to streamline processes, improve user experiences, strengthen controls, and scale operations through automation, analytics, and AI.
You might thrive in this role if you:
Excel at turning ambiguity into action, creating clarity and momentum in environments where priorities, requirements, and timelines evolve quickly.
Are highly organized without being rigid, balancing competing priorities while maintaining focus on outcomes.
Enjoy operating at both strategic and tactical levels, moving seamlessly between executive discussions and hands-on execution.
Build strong relationships across diverse stakeholder groups, influencing without direct authority and bringing teams together around shared goals.
Have a systems mindset, understanding how processes, technology, data, and controls work together to create scalable solutions.
Take ownership beyond traditional program management, proactively identifying gaps, solving problems, and helping teams move work forward.
Communicate with precision and empathy, adapting your approach to technical, operational, and executive audiences.
Are energized by fast-paced, evolving environments, where priorities shift, new challenges emerge, and adaptability is essential.
Are excited about leveraging AI, automation, and technology to improve experiences, increase efficiency, and enable Procurement to scale.
Preferred Qualifications

- Help customers establish evaluation frameworks, governance controls, guardrails, monitoring, and human-review processes.
- Measure adoption and business impact, ensuring deployed solutions deliver meaningful security outcomes.
- Turn successful customer deployments into reusable architectures, playbooks, demonstrations, and best practices.
You might thrive in this role if you:
- Have experience spanning both pre-sales solutions engineering and post-sales implementation, professional services, or technical deployment.
