Job Description

Director of Corporate Procurement | Roanoke, VA

This isn't a backfill.

It's a newly elevated role created to bring additional sophistication, strategy, and leadership to an already successful global manufacturer.

For decades, this company has built a reputation for quality, innovation, and stability. Now they're investing in the future-expanding the impact procurement has on the business and looking for someone who wants to help write the next chapter.

You'll have a hand in:
  • Building strategic supplier partnerships
  • Leading outsourcing and contract manufacturing initiatives
  • Expanding manufacturing capacity and reducing supply chain risk
  • Influencing make-vs.-buy decisions
  • Developing procurement talent across multiple locations
  • Partnering with leaders across Operations, Engineering, Quality, Product Management, and Finance

This is the kind of role where you'll be asked for your opinion-and expected to have one.

Manufacturing experience and procurement leadership are a must. Experience with sourcing, supplier development, and navigating complex supply chains will go a long way here.

If you're looking for a role where procurement is viewed as a strategic advantage-not a transactional function-this is worth a look.

Global manufacturer. Long-standing success. Newly created opportunity.

If you are interested in this job or future opportunities in your area, please send us a Word-formatted resume. We'll reach out to you when opportunities come up that match your geography and experience. All inquiries are kept confidential, and your information will not be shared without your prior approval.
