What Does a Strategic Sourcing Manager Do?

Strategic Sourcing Managers develop sourcing strategies that align supplier decisions with business goals.

Depending on the organization, they may manage a category portfolio, guide cross-functional sourcing projects, or help build procurement policies and processes.
