You're a procurement professional with experience leading sourcing and vendor management across complex categories, SaaS, cloud, managed services, cyber security, networks and telco, and outsourced IT.

You've negotiated and managed major enterprise agreements, MSAs, SaaS and cloud contracts, managed services deals and you know how to hold vendors to account through well-structured governance.
