Job description
Our client, a leading industrial manufacturing organization serving critical infrastructure markets, is seeking a Vice President of Procurement to build and lead an enterprise-wide procurement function across a complex, multi-site manufacturing business.
This is a high-impact transformation opportunity for a procurement executive who enjoys creating structure, strengthening supplier strategy, developing teams, and using data and commercial discipline to drive measurable value.
The Vice President of Procurement will lead strategic sourcing, supplier management, contract negotiations, materials availability, spend visibility, procurement governance, and cost improvement across the organization. This leader will also play a critical role in ensuring production continuity and supporting continued growth in a project-driven, make-to-order manufacturing environment.
Key Responsibilities:
Build and implement an enterprise procurement strategy and operating model across multiple businesses and manufacturing locations
Lead strategic sourcing, category management, supplier negotiations, and major purchasing initiatives
Identify opportunities to leverage enterprise-wide spend, consolidate suppliers, and improve commercial terms
Establish consistent supplier qualification, performance management, scorecards, and corrective-action processes
Improve visibility into spend, contracts, supplier performance, material availability, and procurement KPIs
Partner closely with Operations, Finance, Engineering, Quality, and plant leadership to ensure critical materials are available to support production and customer commitments
Drive measurable cost reduction, margin improvement, working-capital performance, and total-cost optimization
Strengthen supply-risk management, alternate-source strategies, and business continuity planning
Assess and develop the existing procurement organization while establishing stronger processes, accountability, and governance
The role spans strategic sourcing, supplier performance, contracting, production support, analytics, cost reduction, working capital, supply risk, and organizational development.
Ideal Background:
12+ years of progressive procurement, strategic sourcing, supply chain, or materials leadership experience
Significant procurement responsibility within a complex industrial manufacturing environment
Experience managing $100M+ in spend , ideally across multiple sites, business units, or purchasing teams
Proven experience transforming or building a procurement organization, operating model, processes, and governance
Strong strategic sourcing, category management, contract negotiation, and supplier-management capabilities
Experience with production-critical raw materials and complex supplier relationships
Multi-site leadership experience within a decentralized operating environment
Experience in engineered-to-order, make-to-order, project-driven, or variable-demand manufacturing
Strong analytical capabilities, including spend analytics, KPI development, and procurement reporting
Demonstrated ability to drive measurable cost improvement while protecting quality, service, production continuity, and supplier performance
Experience assessing, developing, and building high-performing procurement teams
The internal profile specifically prioritizes transformation experience over already holding a VP title, meaning a strong Director or Senior Director from a sophisticated industrial organization could also be compelling if they have the scale and readiness to lead enterprise-wide.
This position is based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and requires an onsite leadership presence, along with travel to other manufacturing locations.
This is not a purely corporate procurement role. The right leader will be equally comfortable developing enterprise strategy, negotiating major supplier agreements, analyzing fragmented spend data, working through plant-level material challenges, and developing the procurement team.
