Here’s the Deal:

The Sourcing Execution Manager, Logistics & Services will lead a newly established regional Sourcing Execution team based in Mexico City, supporting operations across the United States, Canada and Mexico.

This position translates category strategies and business requirements into disciplined sourcing execution, supplier enablement, contracting and purchasing processes. The role is responsible for delivering measurable commercial value, expanding spend under Procurement, improving contract and purchasing compliance, accelerating vendor onboarding, and building a scalable Source-to-Contract and Procurement-to-Pay operating model.

As the leader of this new regional team, you will be accountable for people leadership, sourcing execution, vendor vetting and onboarding, process governance, payment performance, digital enablement and continuous improvement. You will work closely with Procurement, Operations, Finance, Accounts Payable, Vendor Master Data, Technology and other business functions across a complex matrix organization.

This is an exciting opportunity for a results-oriented leader who is passionate about process improvement, data, technology and building new capabilities. While previous Procurement or supplier-management experience is important, this is not a traditional Strategic Sourcing position. The role is focused on leading the disciplined execution of sourcing and purchasing workflows, improving efficiency, enabling scalability and ensuring strong operational outcomes.

Key Responsibilities:

• •Team Leadership & Capability Development: Lead, coach and develop the regional Sourcing Execution team, establishing clear roles, priorities, performance expectations and accountability. Build a high-performing and scalable organization through coaching, cross-training, knowledge sharing and talent development.
• •Sourcing & Commercial Execution: Lead selected higher-complexity sourcing events, RFx processes, commercial evaluations and negotiations, ensuring competitive tension, appropriate Total Cost of Ownership analysis, supplier-selection rigor and effective implementation of sourcing decisions.
• •Category Strategy Enablement: Partner with Category Managers to translate category strategies and business requirements into executable sourcing activities, supplier actions, commercial implementation plans and purchasing channels.
• •Vendor Vetting, Onboarding & Enablement: Own and continuously improve the regional vendor vetting and onboarding process. Ensure prospective suppliers submit the required insurance, tax, banking, payment and compliance documentation, and partner with Vendor Master Data to support timely vendor-code creation and accurate supplier information.
• •Procurement-to-Pay Standardization: Own the regional roadmap for improving and standardizing Procurement-to-Pay execution across the United States, Canada and Mexico. Establish scalable processes, workflows and controls while reducing manual interventions, local workarounds and operational complexity.
• •Catalogue, Contract & Rate Digitization: Drive the creation and adoption of Punchout and hosted catalogues, digitization and maintenance of service contracts and approved supplier rates in NFTP and other applicable ERP platforms, and implementation of framework purchase orders.
• •Technology, Automation & AI Enablement: Lead the deployment and adoption of procurement technology, workflow automation, analytics and AI-enabled solutions that improve productivity, scalability and data quality while reducing manual and non-standard purchasing activities.
• •Governance, Compliance & Controls: Drive contract compliance, Supplier Code of Conduct and Sustainable Procurement requirements, spend coverage under Procurement, and appropriate segregation of duties across Procurement, Operations, Finance and Accounts Payable.
• •Payment Performance & Supplier Issue Resolution: Partner with Finance, Accounts Payable, Procurement and business stakeholders to improve Payment on Time, identify the root causes of late or failed payments, and reduce supplier disputes, penalties and avoidable cost leakage.
• •Performance Management & Continuous Improvement: Define and monitor sourcing execution, compliance and productivity KPIs, including vendor onboarding turnaround time, purchasing-channel adoption, Payment on Time and transaction exceptions. Lead root-cause analysis and corrective actions for recurring issues.
• •Stakeholder & Supplier Management: Collaborate with internal stakeholders across multiple functions, products and countries, while managing relationships with external suppliers and vendors throughout the region.

The Basics:

• •Academic Background: Bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain, Logistics, Industrial Engineering or a related field, or equivalent relevant professional experience.
• •Years of Experience: At least 7 years of progressive experience in Procurement, Strategic Sourcing, Supply Chain, Transportation, Logistics, Warehousing or a related field.
