  • Opportunities and Benefits
    • Identify and communicate hidden opportunities within existing and future vendor partnerships, ensuring the company takes full advantage of all available resources, discounts, incentives, and training programs.
  • Team Guidance and Collaboration
    • Guide internal teams on vendor capabilities, highlighting specific benefits, programs, and opportunities that they may not currently be leveraging.
    • Act as a central resource for internal teams, helping them navigate the vendor ecosystem and optimize partnerships.
  • Contract and Compliance Management
    • Ensure all vendor contracts are in place, up-to-date, and that partnerships comply with industry standards and legal requirements.
