Overview:

Vaco Highspring is conducting a confidential Director‑level search on behalf of a large, complex consumer services organization with a nationally distributed operating footprint spanning thousands of locations.

The organization is seeking a Director, Field Procurement Operations to play a hands‑on leadership role supporting field operations, supply chain partners, and regional leadership. This position is designed for a procurement leader who thrives in fast‑moving, service‑driven environments and operates close to the business.

Role Orientation:

This is a field‑oriented, execution‑focused procurement leadership role. While strategic thinking and sound judgment are important, success is defined by day‑to‑day execution, supplier reliability, and strong partnership with regional and field leadership.

This opportunity will be most compelling to leaders who prefer direct ownership of outcomes rather than centralized, advisory, or policy‑driven procurement roles.

The Opportunity:

The Director, Field Procurement Operations will be responsible for procurement execution, supplier performance, and operational continuity across multiple indirect and operational spend categories. The role is highly internal‑facing and partners closely with regional operations and supply chain leaders across a geographically dispersed organization.

The organization is at an inflection point where procurement execution, supplier reliability, and field alignment are critical to business performance. This is a high‑visibility leadership role supporting both near‑term operational stability and longer‑term enterprise capability building. This is not a corporate strategy role; success is defined by operational stability, credibility with the field, and the ability to translate procurement discipline into real‑world outcomes.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead procurement operations across multiple indirect and operational categories supporting a geographically dispersed field organization
• Serve as a primary procurement partner to regional operations, supply chain, and field leadership teams
• Own the full supplier lifecycle, including sourcing support, contract execution, performance management, escalation, and remediation
• Act as a hands-on problem solver during supplier, service, or operational disruptions
• Ensure pricing fairness, service level consistency, and supplier accountability across regions
• Lead and develop a small team of regionally aligned procurement leaders
• Balance near term execution with continuous improvement in cost, efficiency, and supplier performance
• Operate with urgency, pragmatism, and sound judgment in a dynamic operating environment

Candidate Requirements & Profile

The ideal candidate is a high caliber procurement operator with strong intellectual rigor, practical judgment, and demonstrated leadership potential.

Required qualifications include:

• Typically, 10+ years of progressive procurement experience, with increasing scope, responsibility, and leadership accountability across complex, ENTERPRISE-SCALE environments.
• Bachelor's degree required; preference for candidates with a background reflecting strong academic rigor, such as completion of a challenging undergraduate or graduate program at a highly regarded U.S. institution
• Professional experience gained within highly reputable private sector organizations, large, well-run enterprises, ideally including FORTUNE 500-scale environments
• Demonstrated progressive career path, evidenced by increasing scope, responsibility, and leadership impact over time
• Consistent and stable work history, with clear progression and growing accountability across roles
• Demonstrated diversity of professional experience, including exposure to multiple roles, functions, categories, or operating environments
• Evidence of diversity of thought, including the ability to balance structured, data driven analysis with pragmatic, real world decision making
• Proven experience leading procurement operations in complex, service oriented or field-based environments
• Strong track record partnering with operations, supply chain, and regional leadership teams
• Experience managing multiple indirect or operational spend categories concurrently
• Deep supplier management and escalation experience across geographically distributed networks
• Prior people leadership experience, ideally with regional or distributed teams
• Demonstrated potential to be viewed as a future organizational leader, with the capability to take on broader scope and increased responsibility over time
• Clear, concise communicator with strong executive presence and credibility with senior stakeholders

Nice to Have:

• A blend of enterprise, in house procurement leadership experience combined with prior management consulting experience, particularly in operational transformation, procurement optimization, or large-scale execution environments
• Management consulting experience is most valuable when combined with subsequent in-house ownership of execution and outcomes.
