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.

Employers commonly look for experience in procurement, strategic sourcing, or supply chain management, along with strong negotiation, financial analysis, and project leadership skills. Familiarity with contract management, sourcing technology, supplier risk, and category management can be valuable. Clear communication and the ability to influence stakeholders across departments are also important.
