 Own the vendor cost base and work with Finance to model unit economics, pass-through costs, and the impact of vendor pricing on Veremark&rsquo;s blended gross margin.
 </li>
 <li>
 Identify and execute opportunities to consolidate spend, leverage volume across geographies, and renegotiate terms as Veremark&rsquo;s scale increases.
 </li>
 <li>

 </li>
 <li>
 Build dashboards and reporting to give Operations and Leadership visibility into vendor performance trends, cost trends, and risk indicators.
 </li>
 <li>
 Manage escalations when vendors fail to meet SLAs or quality standards. Drive root cause analysis and corrective action plans.

 Develop a vendor scorecard system that feeds into contract renewal and renegotiation decisions.
