Supply Chain Sourcing & Procurement, Senior Manager Consulting

About the role

As a Senior Manager, Sourcing & Procurement Consulting , you will make an impact by leading client engagements and growing the Sourcing & Procurement practice. You will deliver Source to Pay (STP) transformation, commercial negotiations, and technology-enabled solutions that reduce cost, improve compliance, and accelerate time to value for consumer goods clients. You will be a valued member of the Consulting team and work collaboratively with practice leaders, client executives, and cross-functional delivery teams.

In this role, you will:

· Lead client engagements end to end for STP transformations: discovery, solution design, business case, implementation roadmap, and benefits realization.

· Drive business development: qualify opportunities, lead proposals and pricing, build client relationships, and close new work.

· Deliver technology-enabled solutions: design and implement sourcing, procurement, CLM, and vendor management solutions using platforms such as Coupa, SAP Ariba, iCertis, or equivalent.

· Manage people and capability: lead and mentor a team of consultants and senior consultants; set goals, run performance reviews, and support hiring.

· Develop thought leadership and practice assets: create POVs, white papers, and go-to-market materials; represent the practice in webinars and analyst engagements.

Work model:

We believe hybrid work is the way forward as we strive to provide flexibility wherever possible. Based on this role's business requirements, this is a hybrid position requiring regular travel (up to 50%) and presence in client or Cognizant offices within the US Eastern or Central Time Zones. Regardless of your working arrangement, we are here to support a healthy work-life balance through our various wellbeing programs.

The working arrangements for this role are accurate as of the date of posting. This may change based on the project you're engaged in, as well as business and client requirements. Rest assured; we will always be clear about role expectations.

What you need to have to be considered

· 8+ years of consulting or industry experience in sourcing, procurement, or STP transformations, with at least 3 years in a client-facing senior role.

· Demonstrated track record leading end-to-end procurement transformations for large enterprises (preferably consumer goods).

· Hands-on experience with at least one major STP platform (Coupa, SAP Ariba, iCertis, Jaggaer, or equivalent).

· Strong commercial acumen: built financial models and delivered measurable savings or value realization.

· Excellent stakeholder management and presentation skills; fluent English.

· Experience managing and mentoring teams, including performance management and hiring.

These will help you stand out

· Prior experience at a Tier 1 management consulting firm or large systems integrator.

· Familiarity with adjacent supply chain functions (planning, logistics, O2C) and S&OP integration.

· Project management certification (PMP, Prince2, Agile) or equivalent delivery experience.

· Experience with procurement analytics, CLM, and vendor risk management tools.

We're excited to meet people who share our mission and can make an impact in a variety of ways. Don't hesitate to apply, even if you only meet the minimum requirements listed. Think about your transferable experiences and unique skills that make you stand out as someone who can bring new and exciting things to this role.
