Categories of focus may span the scope of Indirect (marketing, facilities, consulting, etc.); however, IT software, IT consulting, and IT hardware are of specific need and are expected to be an on-going category for this role to actively support.

    You will also be engaged in team-wide initiatives, including policy and process development, communication of best practices to internal customers, and stakeholder relationship-building and support.

    The indirect team oversees various enterprise-wide tools and systems (Coupa P2P, Contract Management, etc.); you will be part of on-going efforts to drive adoption, train, optimize, and manage new functionality and/or process improvements as needed.

Collaborate internally to analyze, review, and finalize sourcing decisions based on RFx process outcomes; partner with stakeholders (Legal, IT, business leads, etc.) as needed to negotiate national / regional / global agreements.
    • Learn and then help support Indirect Procurement-based enterprise tools, including Coupa, DocuSign, and Agiloft (our newly selected "CMS", or contract management system). Be a conduit to connect subject matter experts with areas of need; over time, become a resource that can help educate, drive compliance, and manage simple ad hoc questions or issues.
    • Serve as liaison between Kontoor Brands' Legal and suppliers to help facilitate the contracting process, protect the best interests of Kontoor Brands, and ensure successful and timely contract completion.
    • Perform other duties, as required.

    • Bachelors - required; MBA - "nice to have," but experience more valued (especially IT software)
    • 3+ years experience as Sourcing Specialist / Senior Sourcing Specialist.
    • 3+ years experience as Indirect Procurement Specialist/Analyst
    • Experience with Coupa or similar P2P solutions (ex. SAP Ariba), Contract Management Systems, or Spanish Fluency - nice to have
