Job Description

Lead global strategic sourcing and category management for a portfolio of GE Vernova's enterprise software and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) spend.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and lead sourcing and category strategies for your assigned software and SaaS portfolio, translating category plans into executable sourcing events and measurable outcomes.
Plan and run end-to-end sourcing events (RFI, RFQ, RFP), including commercial evaluation models, negotiation strategy, supplier selection, and award recommendations.
Lead commercial and contract negotiations for software and SaaS agreements, partnering with Legal on master agreements, order forms, SLAs, and DPAs.
Structure and negotiate software commercial constructs, including subscriptions, enterprise agreements, true-ups, consumption commitments, renewals, pricing, audit rights, and license optimization.
Champion and secure TCO reductions across your portfolio, and provide inputs to budgeting by identifying opportunities and estimated value creation.
Drive demand management and compliance, including license counts, application rationalization, SaaS consumption optimization, and preferred-vendor penetration.
Manage the renewals calendar and pipeline proactively to avoid auto-renewals and capture negotiation leverage ahead of key dates.
Navigate internal vendor management processes and intake requirements (e.g., S360) for assigned spend categories, ensuring sourcing sign-off and validation gates are met.
Monitor market dynamics, licensing models, price inflation, and vendor consolidation to surface risks and opportunities to stakeholders.
Serve as a trusted advisor to Technology and business stakeholders, leading multi-functional teams on strategic sourcing initiatives.
Monitor supplier performance, service levels, and renewal risk, driving value through supplier relationship management and managing escalations.
Build spend analyses and executive-ready business cases, measuring and tracking performance within each spend category to report to leadership.
