Procurement is Pfizers global source-to-pay engine putting the right supplier at the right price and risk behind every dollar Pfizer spends. Category strategy and supplier management run as one connected discipline with compliance and continuous improvement built in rather than bolted on.

This leader owns the strategic agenda for GBS Procurement end to end:

• Set category and sourcing strategy tied to the core functions current and future needs and the Pfizer Blueprint
• Own the operating model budget and resourcing decisions behind the teams commitments
• Redesign end-to-end processes around emerging technology that earns its place a simpler colleague experience and a leaner cost structure not technology for its own sake
• Read industry and market shifts early enough to shape strategy rather than reacting once competitors have moved
• Build and coach a global bench deep enough that performance doesnt depend on any one person
• Partner across GBS and the Enabling Functions so enterprise initiatives land without Procurement as the bottleneck
