### Sr. Manager, General & Administrative Strategic Sourcing

Pinterest is seeking a strategic sourcing leader to lead General & Administrative sourcing and manage an approximately $150M annual third-party spend portfolio. You’ll partner with leaders across Finance, Legal, Trust & Safety, People, IT, Workplace and other corporate functions to create supplier strategies that balance commercial value, risk management, operational excellence and stakeholder experience. You’ll also lead and develop a team of sourcing professionals while helping evolve Pinterest’s sourcing capabilities. This role reports to the Global Head of Strategic Sourcing & Supplier Intelligence.

### What you’ll do:

- Lead category strategy and sourcing plans for General & Administrative spend, translating business priorities into multi-year roadmaps and measurable value plans.

- Lead complex sourcing engagements from requirements definition and market analysis through supplier selection, negotiation, contracting, implementation and supplier performance management.

- Establish commercial strategies and negotiate agreements that address pricing, service levels, performance expectations, risk allocation, governance, renewals and transition planning.

- Develop insights and recommendations using spend analysis, market intelligence, supplier assessments, benchmarks and total-cost-of-ownership analysis.

- Partner with senior stakeholders across Finance, Legal, Trust & Safety, People, IT and Workplace to align sourcing decisions with business needs, financial objectives and risk requirements.

- Lead, coach and develop a high-performing sourcing team through clear priorities, timely feedback, accountability and growth opportunities.

- Improve sourcing processes, tools, governance, and data practices to make the function more scalable, transparent, and easy for stakeholders to engage.

- Use AI to accelerate analysis, research, documentation and sourcing planning while applying judgment and verification to ensure accuracy, quality and appropriate handling of sensitive information.

### What we’re looking for:

- Minimum of 10 years of experience in strategic sourcing, procurement, category management, supply management, commercial strategy or a related field.

- Minimum of 4 years of experience leading and developing people, including setting expectations, coaching, delivering feedback and managing performance.

- Experience leading strategic sourcing and category management for substantial indirect, General & Administrative, corporate services, professional services, technology or related spend.

- Experience leading complex supplier negotiations and structuring commercial agreements that balance cost, quality, service, risk, flexibility and long-term business value.

- Experience partnering with senior stakeholders across functions and aligning competing business, financial, legal and risk priorities.

- Experience using spend data, supplier economics, market intelligence and financial analysis to inform category strategies and commercial decisions.

- Demonstrated experience using AI to accelerate analysis, research or workflow execution, with a clear approach to validating accuracy and quality, protecting sensitive data and maintaining ownership of final decisions and deliverables.

- Bachelor’s degree in business, supply chain management, finance or a related field, or equivalent experience.

- Preferred qualifications:

- Experience in a technology, platform, SaaS, high-growth, or complex global enterprise environment.

- Expertise in one or more G&A categories such as professional services, contingent workforce, HR and benefits, finance, legal, insurance, workplace, facilities, travel, or corporate services.

- Experience with source-to-pay, contract-lifecycle-management, RFx, spend-analytics, supplier-risk, or supplier-performance tools.

- Experience leading procurement transformation, operating-model design, process improvement, or supplier-governance programs.

- MBA, JD, CPSM, CIPS, or a related advanced degree or professional certification.

### Why this role is compelling:

You will have the opportunity to shape a strategically important procurement portfolio at Pinterest, lead consequential commercial decisions, build lasting partnerships with senior business leaders and suppliers, and develop the next generation of sourcing talent. Your work will help Pinterest invest wisely, manage risk thoughtfully, operate more effectively, and create the supplier ecosystem needed to support the company’s next phase of growth.
