Procurement Transformation Consultant

Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Procurement Transformation Consultant to lead an active, high-priority procurement platform implementation initiative. This individual will serve as the primary strategic partner on this engagement, owning end-to-end execution, managing cross-functional stakeholders, and ensuring continuity as the program scales.

You will inherit a mid-flight program and lead it to completion, coordinating across three integrated enterprise systems — an intake/workflow platform, a sourcing and contract execution platform, and a master contract lifecycle management system — while overseeing significant team growth and operational expansion.

Core Responsibilities

Strategic Planning: Own the platform implementation roadmap; drive phased rollout through structured quality gate approvals at each expansion stage

Program Management: Maintain a large, multi-workstream project plan; lead regular stakeholder reporting; coordinate across technical, legal, and operational teams concurrently

System Integration: Manage data flows across three integrated platforms; troubleshoot field mapping issues, amendment flows, and integration failures

Stakeholder Engagement: Primary liaison to senior leadership and cross-functional partners; lead working sessions and workshops; deliver executive-ready status materials

Training & Enablement: Coordinate team onboarding at scale; build SOPs, workflow guides, and training programs to support long-term self-sufficiency

Continuous Optimization: Drive catalog expansion, advanced sourcing capability rollout, savings tracking, and ongoing process improvement

Experience
• 8+ years in procurement, strategic sourcing, or supply chain consulting - Fortune 500 or large enterprise environment
• Proven track record managing complex, multi-system technology implementations from initiation through scale
• Hands-on experience with enterprise procurement platforms (GEP, ZIP, Sirion, Coupa, Ariba, or Jaggaer) strongly preferred
• ERP or CLM integration experience required - Oracle, SAP, or comparable system

Technical Skills
• Deep fluency in source-to-contract and procure-to-pay workflows: intake, sourcing, contracting, PO issuance
• Ability to diagnose system integration failures: field mapping errors, data mismatches, and workflow configuration issues
• Proficient in project management tools; able to produce executive-grade deliverables independently

Leadership
• Credible at VP/Director level, builds trust quickly across Legal, Finance, Operations, and Technology functions
• Structured communicator: precise documentation, clear SOPs, and polished deliverables with minimal oversight
• Experienced running stakeholder workshops with mixed audiences; comfortable presenting independently to senior leadership

Systems Environment
• Intake & Workflow Platform: Governance, routing logic, approval thresholds, and request management
• Sourcing & Contract Platform: Primary platform under implementation - sourcing, catalog, and contract execution
• Contract Lifecycle Management: Master CLM and ERP integration - troubleshooting and purchase order flows
• Reference & Correction Tools: Catalog reference file management and retroactive contract correction processes

You will be evaluated on:
• Day 1 Readiness: Execute a structured handoff from the outgoing consultant with zero disruption to active workstreams and established stakeholder relationships.
• Team Scale-Up: Onboard and enable a growing team; build training infrastructure that supports long-term operational self-sufficiency.
• Phase Execution: Successfully advance platform rollout through successive expansion stages, clearing structured quality gates at each threshold.
• Program Delivery: Drive the initiative to its volume and performance targets on schedule - meeting or exceeding defined procurement processing goals.

Pay: $120.00 - $125.00 per hour

Application Question(s):
• Please describe your direct experience with enterprise procurement platform implementations
• Explain a specific multi-system integration challenge you resolved — what broke, how you fixed it, and the outcome
• How you would approach inheriting a mid-flight program without disrupting active stakeholder relationships?

Experience:
• procurement, strategic sourcing, or supply chain consulting: 8 years (Preferred)

Willingness to travel:
• 25% (Preferred)
