Senior Technology Sourcing Analyst
About The Position
The Senior Technology Sourcing Analyst supports sourcing strategies and transactions across software, SaaS, cloud, hardware, AI, network, and technology services. The role provides advanced commercial analysis, leads defined sourcing activities, and develops recommendations that support negotiations, supplier decisions, and measurable value delivery.

Success involves accurate analysis, independent execution, proactive risk identification, clear stakeholder communication, and effective coaching of Analysts. This is a remote position open to applicants authorized to work for any employer within the United States.
