  • 5+ years of indirect strategic sourcing or procurement experience
  • Proven track record of exceeding cost savings goals and improving sourcing outcomes
  • Strong stakeholder management skills and comfort presenting to leadership

This is a contract to hire opportunity and will begin on a temporary basis. The hourly pay rate is between $50-$60/hr and the position will offer medical, dental, and vision insurance. The work model is hybrid (3x on site, 2x remote) weekly out of Downers Grove, IL.
