1d • $120,000 - $168,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

The Open Systems Procurement Leader owns end-to-end procurement for Ensono’s Open Systems and Cloud client business. As Ensono evolves its procurement function from functional silos into four self-contained pods aligned to the work, this role leads the Open Systems Pod — driving all client-impacting commercial activity from quote through renewal, including pricing, supplier strategy, asset management, and partner programs. The Leader is a senior commercial advisor to executive leadership and a peer to the Mainframe, Internal, and Vendor Management Office leaders within the Procurement organization.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree with a minimum of 10+ years of experience in Strategic Sourcing, Procurement, or Supply Chain management.
• 5+ years of experience leading and managing teams in a sourcing or procurement function.
• Proven experience supporting complex, high‑value IT deals and enterprise sourcing initiatives.
• Strong executive‑level communication, negotiation, and influencing skills.
• Demonstrated ability to operate in a matrixed, fast‑paced, growth‑oriented environment.

Nice To Haves

• MBA or equivalent advanced degree in Business, Finance, Supply Chain, or related field.
• Experience working in a Managed Service Provider (MSP) or technology services organization.
• Experience partnering with Sales and Deal teams on pricing, margin, and commercial structures.
• Experience owning end-to-end commercial outcomes for a business line — quote through renewal — not just functional sourcing.
• Critical thinking skills with experience applying analytics, automation, or AI to sourcing decisions.
• Exposure to using AI tools or technologies to improve efficiency

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end procurement for all Open Systems and Cloud client work: quotes, renewals, maintenance, asset management, cloud usage, and partner programs.
• Lead, develop, and retain a high-performing pod team with clear accountability for revenue-supporting outcomes for the Open Systems business.
• Partner with executive and senior stakeholders as a trusted commercial advisor on sourcing strategy, supplier risk, and deal economics.
• Lead complex deal pursuits for Open Systems and Cloud opportunities — bid strategy, pricing, and margin optimization are run end-to-end within the pod.
• Align with the Vendor Management Office on governance, supplier compliance, and contract & entitlement integrity.
• Track and report on pod-level KPIs: cycle time, savings, deal velocity, and throughput.
• Track and continuously improve stakeholder experience — for internal sales, solutioning, and client-facing partners — to ensure the pod consistently meets business needs with quality and pace.
• Identify opportunities for cost optimization, innovation, and process improvement; contribute to leadership bench strength and succession planning across the Procurement organization.
