Job Description:

Our Enterprise Procurement Partners team is seeking a strategic sourcing team member to join us. Our team negotiates contracts with various vendors that range from the largest technology and financial services giants to small start-ups.

We are looking for someone to manage vendor negotiations to achieve savings while not losing sight of long-term, strategic goals. In this role, you will work with leaders throughout the bank as well as outside vendors and consultants. You will review, negotiate, and manage contracts, assist with strategic sourcing (i.e. RFPs, RFQs, RFIs, etc.) and financial planning, and work on project-based initiatives.

This role is specifically aimed at understanding and negotiating contracts that arise out of our combined Operations and our Wealth, Corporate, Commercial, and Institutional Banking business lines.
