📋 Description

• Own vendor lifecycle management end-to-end — standardized onboarding (KYC, financial health, security review, code of conduct attestation), through performance management, through offboarding. • Lead contract governance for the firm — repository ownership and folder hygiene, template stewardship, renewal pipeline, expiration alerts, and executive approval workflows. • Administer the vendor Code of Conduct — annual distribution, attestation tracking, exception handling, breach escalation, and recertification cadence. • Lead vendor ESG reporting and accountability in alignment with corporate ESG commitments and external disclosure requirements (Scope 3 emissions, modern slavery and labor practices, supplier diversity, controversies monitoring); manage the portfolio against published ESG targets in partnership with Corporate Sustainability. • Maintain the vendor segmentation framework — Strategic, Emerging, Legacy, Tactical — and ensure differentiated treatment by tier holds across the organization. • Drive tier-appropriate vendor risk reviews — security, financial, regulatory, geographic — in partnership with InfoSec, Legal, and Compliance. • Deliver quarterly Strategic Vendor reviews for executive leadership; lead renewal-pipeline forecasting and spend coverage reporting. • Partner across Legal, InfoSec, Compliance, Finance, IT, Sales, Corporate Sustainability, AI Transformation, and business unit leaders as the firm’s central authority for vendor strategy and execution; recruit, develop, and retain the VMO team. • Lead software compliance verification across internal and client environments, including monthly reporting and audit-readiness reviews that reconcile client contracts, vendor agreements, and system data; partner with the AI Transformation function within the Office of the CFO to automate this three-way validation process.

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years of progressive experience in vendor management, procurement, strategic sourcing, or a closely related discipline, with at least 3 years in a people-leadership role. • Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to translate operational detail into executive framing and influence across functions without direct authority. • Demonstrated success running a vendor management function in steady state — clean governance, audit-ready posture, predictable executive-grade reporting. • Familiarity with enterprise sourcing platforms (Workday Strategic Sourcing or comparable) and contract repositories (DocuSign or comparable). • Strong analytical fluency — comfortable working with spend data, contract metadata, vendor risk indicators, and ESG metrics. • Track record of partnership with Legal, InfoSec, Compliance, Finance, and IT on vendor matters. • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Supply Chain, or a related field; advanced degree preferred.
