What's the opportunity?

This is a role for someone who thrives on being given the helm so that they can run a tight ship, someone who is constantly challenging the status quo and eking out every ounce of possible efficiency. The Director, Governance and Business Enablement, will lead a variety of Global Procurement functions including operational risk management, governance, knowledge management, learning and development and third-party supplier contract template management. The successful candidate will have a hunger for process efficiency, an ability (and willingness) to get in the weeds of policy and process, and a drive to managing lean operations so that everyone is enabled to play to their strengths and focus on what matters most.

What will you do?

• Operational risk management: work collaboratively with internal stakeholders to maintain culture of risk awareness, develop processes, controls and monitor internal policies and procedures, including centralized risk management.
• Knowledge management: maintain a knowledge management strategy to optimize how information is stored, shared and communicated across Global Procurement (including, but not limited to, internal collaboration tools, external- and internal-facing websites and meetings) as well as develop and execute Learning & Development strategy in partnership with senior leaders.
• Contract template management: ensure effective processes to maintain, store, disseminate information regarding and deliver updates to standardized third-party supplier legal templates.
• Communications and Executive Operations: support seamless and efficient departmental and executive operations and drive thoughtful internal communications strategy.
