Full Job Description
Sr Strategic Sourcing Manager, Indirect is responsible for driving the Indirect Procurement roadmap across our global sites.

  • Provide strategic direction, guidance, and oversight to global transactional buyers managing indirect spend.
  • Perform comprehensive spend analysis to identify cross-functional consolidation opportunities, harmonize fragmented supplier contracts, and standardize procurement protocols to optimize organizational structures and realize sustainable cost efficiencies across indirect spend categories (e.g., IT, HR, Marketing, Facilities, and Professional Services)
  • Implement robust risk management frameworks for critical indirect suppliers, conducting deep-dive assessments on supply chain dependencies, geopolitical stability, and financial viability.


The essential requirements of the job include:
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain Management, Engineering, or a related field.
  • 7+ years of experience in strategic sourcing or procurement within a highly regulated industry (Medical Device, Pharmaceutical, or Life Sciences).
  • Skilled in driving procurement-side transformation and operational alignment, consistently delivering verified synergy savings across indirect spend during periods of organizational growth and transition
  • Strong ability to influence and manage relationships at the executive level.


Travel, Motor Vehicle Record & Physical/Environment Requirements:
  • Ability to travel up to 20-25% for supplier site visits and regional facility audits.


It would be a plus if you also possess previous experience in:
  • Deep functional proficiency in Coupa (or equivalent P2P platform) to manage procurement workflows and downstream PO management.
  • Proficiency in ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, or similar).
  • Advanced analytical skills (Excel, Tableau, or Power BI) for data modeling and cost analysis.
