Position Overview

We are in search of a proactive and strategic Sourcing Manager to spearhead our sourcing and supplier strategy for IT infrastructure and technology services, ensuring that our operations at 1X are scalable, secure, and reliable.

  • Oversee RFx processes, including supplier selection, negotiations, and contract execution.
  • Develop and maintain supplier relationships, ensuring alignment with performance, cost, and scalability requirements.
  • Collaborate closely with teams in IT, Security, Engineering, Operations, Legal, and Finance.
  • Assist in site IT buildouts, infrastructure scaling, and technology initiatives.
  • Drive cost efficiency, enhance supplier performance, and mitigate risks.
  • Track supplier KPIs and ensure adherence to commercial agreements.

Primary Areas of Expertise (Based on Experience)

  • IT infrastructure hardware and services
  • Networking equipment and services
  • Managed IT and support services
  • System integrators and enterprise technology vendors
