A Director of Procurement is tasked with acquiring products from outside vendors in a cost effective and time appropriate manner. This role requires an operationally efficient set of processes for issuing purchase orders, documenting the vendors response to these purchase orders, tracking the vendors performance, and managing the cost for a broad spectrum of items used in the organization. It also requires some insight into the financial obligations that procurement is making for the organization. The role requires a perspective for managing the operational details but also an ability to manage the broad overall delivery of value to the organization through its vendors and the components they supply
