  • Stay up-to-date on industry best practices in procurement risk management and incorporate these practices into our procurement risk management framework
  • Support the implementation, adoption, and training of tools and solutions related to risk management
What We're Looking for From You:

  • A proven track record of developing and implementing successful risk management strategies
