Our Client Currently looking for Director, Procurement Strategy

A day in the life (Responsibilities) 

Set the strategy

• Define and own the multi-year P2P strategy and transformation roadmap — process, policy, tooling, and category strategy
• Build the business cases for P2P investment, including cost, risk, and return, and take them to Finance leadership and the SLT for decision
• Establish the operating principles, controls philosophy, and policy framework that the P2P function runs against

Lead the automation and AI agenda

• Define where automation, workflow tooling, and AI can materially improve cycle time, cost, control, and user experience across requisition-to-payment
• Partner with IT and Engineering to bring the right capability into the P2P environment and mobilize it against the roadmap
• Design for adoption — measure it, and iterate until the change sticks with the teams doing the work

Negotiate our most important vendor relationships

• Lead complex, high-value, and precedent-setting negotiations with Toast’s top-tier strategic vendors
• Own commercial strategy for these relationships: structure, terms, leverage, benchmarking, and long-term value
• Partner with Legal on contractual risk, and with the operating team on clean handoff into ongoing supplier management

Lead and develop your team

• Manage, coach, and develop a direct report — set clear goals, give direct feedback, and create real opportunities for growth
• Build the team’s capability alongside the roadmap: define what skills the function will need as the transformation agenda expands, and grow them deliberately
• Create the conditions for high-quality work — clear priorities, protected focus, and genuine ownership over meaningful problems
• Model the partnership between strategy and operations that you want the wider P2P organization to adopt

Partner across the company

• Serve as the senior P2P voice with the Senior Leadership Team, Finance leadership, IT/Engineering, Legal, and other senior stakeholders.
• Build the stakeholder confidence that makes transformation possible — translating operational reality into executive decisions and executive intent into workable process
• Partner with the Head of Procurement so that everything you design is operationally sound and cleanly transitioned into run-state

What success looks like 

• A defined go-forward procurement strategy with clear processes, policies, tools, and metrics
• Automation and AI capability adopted in practice, not just deployed
• Measurably improved commercial outcomes on Toast’s strategic vendor portfolio
• A direct report who is growing, and a team shaped for the next phase of the roadmap
• Senior stakeholders who treat P2P as a strategic partner rather than a processing function
