The Role

This is an opportunity for an experienced procurement leader to shape high-impact sourcing strategies across complex, enterprise-wide categories.

You will partner with senior business leaders, category owners, risk partners, legal, finance, and supplier stakeholders to lead end-to-end sourcing initiatives—from opportunity assessment and market intelligence to negotiation, contracting support, implementation, and benefits tracking. The role is ideal for a procurement professional who enjoys solving complex business problems, influencing spend decisions, and creating measurable enterprise value beyond cost savings.

You will help advance a more strategic, data-driven, and consistent sourcing model across the Bank—strengthening category strategy, supplier partnerships, risk management, and procurement’s role as a trusted advisor to the business.

Is this role right for you? In this role, you will:

• Lead complex, enterprise-wide sourcing initiatives across assigned categories, translating business priorities into clear category and sourcing strategies
• Use spend analysis, market intelligence, supplier capability assessments, and demand insights to identify opportunities for savings, value creation, innovation, and risk reduction
• Design and execute competitive sourcing events, including RFIs, RFPs, RFQs, evaluations, supplier shortlisting, negotiation strategies, and award recommendations
• Negotiate commercially sound supplier agreements that balance total cost of ownership, service quality, risk, flexibility, and long-term business needs
• Build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders and influence sourcing decisions through clear business cases, financial analysis, and procurement expertise
• Partner with risk, legal, compliance, finance, and business teams to ensure sourcing activities align with internal policies, regulatory expectations, third-party risk standards, and the Bank’s risk appetite
• Manage supplier relationships during strategic initiatives, including performance expectations, issue resolution, executive engagement, and continuous improvement opportunities
• Identify consolidation, renewal, contract optimization, and supplier rationalization opportunities that improve commercial outcomes and operational efficiency
• Track sourcing pipeline activity, benefits, risks, milestones, and stakeholder commitments to ensure disciplined execution and transparent reporting
• Champion procurement best practices, including category planning, supplier relationship management, demand management, negotiation preparation, and benefits realization
• Act as a strategic advisor and escalation point for supplier, commercial, and sourcing matters with potential enterprise impact
• Support continuous improvement across procurement processes, tools, governance, and stakeholder engagement practices
• Contribute to a client-focused, inclusive, and high-performance procurement culture that values collaboration, accountability, and measurable results

What you bring to the role:

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain, Finance, Management, or a related field; Master’s degree is an asset
• 5–10+ years of progressive experience in strategic sourcing, procurement, category management, supplier management, or supply chain
• Professional procurement designation such as CPM, CPSM, CSCMP, CIPS, or equivalent is preferred
• Experience leading sourcing strategies in a large, complex, matrixed, or global organization
• Strong commercial acumen, negotiation capability, and ability to build compelling sourcing recommendations supported by data and business insight
• Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders, manage competing priorities, and lead cross-functional teams through ambiguity and change
• Hands-on experience with spend analysis, supplier segmentation, market assessments, cost modelling, total cost of ownership, and benefits tracking
• Understanding of third-party risk, regulatory expectations, and procurement governance within financial services or another highly regulated environment is an asset
• Ability to interpret complex technical, operational, contractual, and financial information and translate it into practical supplier strategies
• Excellent communication skills, including the ability to present clear recommendations, negotiate effectively, and build trust with business partners and suppliers
• Familiarity with procurement technologies, e-sourcing tools, contract lifecycle management, supplier management platforms, analytics tools, or ERP systems
• A continuous improvement mindset and commitment to delivering value, managing risk, and elevating procurement’s impact across the organization

Why this opportunity stands out:

• The opportunity to influence enterprise-wide spend decisions and shape sourcing strategies across high-value categories
• A role with visible impact, senior stakeholder exposure, and the ability to strengthen supplier partnerships, risk management, and business outcomes
• A rewarding career path with diverse opportunities for professional development, mobility, and continued growth in procurement and enterprise leadership
• A competitive rewards program including bonus, flexible vacation, personal and sick days, and comprehensive benefits that start on your first day
