• *About the Role**
We’re hiring a Senior Manager to lead cost take-out and sourcing optimization programs for our clients. You’ll own delivery, grow key accounts, and help build our US practice — ideal for someone with entrepreneurial instinct who wants a fast track to Director/Partner.
• *What You’ll Do**
• Lead client programs end-to-end: diagnostics, category strategies, RFPs/e-sourcing, supplier negotiations, implementation, and benefits tracking.
• Drive hard savings across Direct categories (e.g., ingredients/commodities, packaging, co-manufacturing/co-packing, logistics) and Indirect categories.
• Be the face of the account: C-suite engagement, steering committees, issue/risk management, and clear executive communication.
• Grow revenue within accounts: identify opportunities, shape proposals/SOWs, and convert follow-on work.
• Coach a small, high-performing team; set standards for analysis, commercial modeling, and supplier engagement.
• Contribute to strengthening and scaling the US practice.
• *Must-Have Experience**
• Extensive experience in procurement consulting, with a proven track record leading cost take-out and procurement transformation engagements.
• Strong experience independently leading and expanding client assignments.
• Hands-on delivery of sourcing optimization across Direct and Indirect categories.
• Strong command of category management, strategic sourcing, RFP/e-sourcing, should-cost/BOM modeling, and supplier performance governance.
• Comfortable managing senior client stakeholders.
• Excellent commercial writing (decks, business cases) and strong data fluency (Excel/Sheets; Power BI/Tableau a plus).
• *Nice to Have**
• Experience in Consumer or Food sectors, particularly COGS optimization across co-manufacturing, packaging, and ingredients/commodities.
• Experience working with Private Equity–backed or sponsor-led businesses.
• *Compensation & Benefits**
• Base salary: $170,000–$205,000
• Performance bonus: 30–40%, tied to delivery impact and engagement performance
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k) with employer match
