Procurement Tendering Manager
About The Position
Supply chain strategy doesn't happen in a vacuum — it's built deal by deal, proposal by proposal, decision by decision. As a Procurement Tendering Manager at GE Vernova, you'll be at the center of it all: the strategic connector between Sourcing, Commercial, and Engineering who ensures every Heavy Duty New Unit proposal is grounded in competitive, risk-mitigated cost structures. This is a role for someone who thrives in high-stakes environments, sees complexity as an opportunity, and knows that the margin you protect during the tender phase is the margin that makes a project succeed. If you want your sourcing expertise to shape some of the most significant energy infrastructure deals in the market, this is where you do it.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Supply Chain, or a related field — or equivalent professional experience
- Minimum 7 years of experience in Sourcing, Engineering, Commercial Operations, or Supply Chain
- Minimum 3 years of experience within the power industry
- Demonstrated experience with sourcing and procurement in complex, technical project environments
Nice To Haves
- Experience with Material Shipped Direct (MSD) in power plant projects
- Technical background in power generation equipment or related engineering disciplines
- Proficiency with financial modeling and supply chain data tools such as SAP, Excel, or Power BI
- Experience working in cross-functional, global teams across multiple time zones
- Strong financial acumen with the ability to assess project profitability and long-term sourcing strategy
Responsibilities
- Lead sourcing strategy across the full Inquiry-to-Order (ITO) process — from the earliest proposal stage through handoff to project execution — acting as the primary point of contact for sourcing standards and the voice of supply chain risk to Sales and leadership.
- Own the sourcing strategy for Heavy Duty New Unit tenders: build competitive vendor lists, validate cost structures, and ensure accurate cycle times for every proposal.
- Lead supply chain risk assessments during the ITO stage and develop proactive mitigation plans that protect project margins — translating complex supply chain data into clear, actionable guidance for Sales and Proposal teams.
- Drive cost database integrity by collaborating with Strategic Sourcing, Engineering, and Finance to maintain up-to-date product cost models, including annual handbook updates and marketing feature inputs.
- Manage the Request for Quotation (RFQ) process for tenders: evaluate supplier offers, validate cost solidity, and ensure sourcing commitments are executable before a deal is signed.
- Lead the tender-to-execution transition: review and approve project budgets so that what was promised during the proposal phase can actually be delivered — setting project teams up for financial success from day one.
- Institutionalize lessons learned by capturing insights from project execution and feeding them back into tendering processes, refining cost models and supplier selections over time.
