 </p>
 <p>
 </p>
 <p>
  <strong>
   Overview:
  </strong>
 </p>
 <p>
  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.
 </p>
 <p>
  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.
 </p>
 <p>
 </p>
 <p>
  <strong>
   Role Orientation:
  </strong>
 </p>
 <ul>
  <li>
   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.
  </li>
  <li>
   This opportunity will be most compelling to leaders who prefer direct ownership of outcomes rather than centralized, advisory, or policy driven procurement roles.
  </li>
 </ul>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  <strong>
   The Opportunity:
  </strong>
 </p>
 <p>
  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.
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  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.
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  <strong>
   Key Responsibilities:
  </strong>
 </p>
 <ul>
  <li>
   Lead procurement operations across multiple indirect and operational categories supporting a geographically dispersed field organization
  </li>
  <li>
   Serve as a primary procurement partner to regional operations, supply chain, and field leadership teams
  </li>
  <li>
   Own the full supplier lifecycle, including sourcing support, contract execution, performance management, escalation, and remediation
  </li>
  <li>
   Act as a hands-on problem solver during supplier, service, or operational disruptions
