The Director of Global Indirect Procurement shapes A&P supplier ecosystems and value creation, leading global marketing-services sourcing, negotiations, supplier strategies, and cross-functional partnerships. The role also develops colleagues and influences global operating models; it is full-time.
Role & Responsibilities
- Develop and execute multi-year spend-area strategies, supplier ecosystem roadmaps and value-creation priorities aligned with A&P and business objectives.
- Lead complex global or multi-regional sourcing, negotiation and contracting initiatives across marketing services, balancing commercial value with effectiveness, quality, innovation, speed and risk.
- Partner with Marketing, Media, Technology, Finance, Legal, Privacy, Data, and regional or brand teams to translate business needs into practical supplier and commercial strategies.
- Shape agency and supplier operating models, governance, decision rights, commercial structures, and scalable source-to-pay ways of working.
- Build strategic supplier relationships and performance routines that unlock market intelligence, new capabilities, innovation, and continuous improvement.
- Use spend, supplier, rate, performance, and external market data to develop insights and recommendations for senior stakeholders.
- Lead through influence across a global, matrixed organization, enabling regional execution while creating appropriate global consistency and leverage.
- Coach and develop colleagues and cross-functional team members, fostering an inclusive, collaborative, high-accountability environment.
- Monitor changes in marketing, media, technology, agency models, and consumer engagement, and translate emerging trends into implications for the supplier ecosystem.
Qualifications
- Relevant experience may come from procurement, marketing, media, agencies, consulting, technology, operations, supplier management, or adjacent disciplines.
- Approximately 7–12+ years of relevant professional experience is a helpful guide rather than an absolute requirement; comparable scope, judgment, and impact through a different career path are welcomed.
- Experience in one or more A&P or marketing-services areas, such as media, MarTech/AdTech, creative, content or production, influencer marketing, PR, events, agencies, data, measurement, or marketing technology.
- Media experience is preferred, particularly exposure to media agencies, digital platforms, media operations, measurement, AdTech/MarTech, or media commercial models, but is not required for every placement.
- Ability to solve ambiguous business problems, develop strategy, lead negotiations or complex initiatives, and influence senior stakeholders without relying on formal authority.
- Strong analytical and commercial judgment, with the ability to connect data and market dynamics to business decisions.
- Strong relationship-building, communication, and presentation skills across global and cross-functional teams.
- Curiosity, learning agility, and interest in how marketing, technology, and consumer behavior are changing.
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent relevant experience; an advanced degree and professional certifications are welcome but not required.
