• Demonstrated depth in IT infrastructure and/or technology services sourcing (e.g., networking, data center, managed services, cloud-adjacent services)
• Experience sourcing and negotiating services-based agreements, including SLAs, SOWs, and commercial terms
• Proven ability to own sourcing end-to-end (strategy, supplier selection, negotiation, and contract execution)
• Strong commercial and negotiation skills, particularly in vendor and services environments
• Experience partnering with IT, Security, Engineering, and Operations stakeholders
• Comfort operating in fast-paced, ambiguous, startup-style environments
