What Does a Strategic Sourcing Manager Do?

Strategic Sourcing Managers develop sourcing strategies that align supplier decisions with business goals. They analyze spending and market conditions, evaluate vendors, lead negotiations, and oversee contracts and supplier performance. Depending on the organization, they may manage a category portfolio, guide cross-functional sourcing projects, or help build procurement policies and processes.

Familiarity with contract management, sourcing technology, supplier risk, and category management can be valuable.
