Job Description

As a Senior Strategic Sourcing Manager, you are an individual contributor who executes sourcing strategy and value delivery for a defined set of Intuit Services categories which may include: Management Consulting Services, Contingent Workforce and Outside Service Providers (OSP), Benefits and HR Services, Outside Services, and Events. This role carries deep category expertise, a total cost of ownership view, and accountability for measurable business outcomes.
