Note:
Our openings are procurement and labor sourcing/workforce operations roles. The target candidate has experience working in VMS tools (vendor management systems), experience running a vendor management program day to day —labor sourcing, managing suppliers, contingent workers, requisitions, procurement, etc.
What this role is not: This is not an IT, engineering, or systems implementation position. We are not looking for candidates whose VMS or ERP experience is limited to implementing, integrating, or developing the platform. We are looking for candidates who have operated a vendor/contingent labor program inside those tools — managing suppliers, workers, requisitions, and spend. Resumes centered on technical delivery, infrastructure, application development, or systems integration will not be a fit.
This person will be owning all change management initiatives and need to have 10+ years of change management experience in a management role.
