We are looking for a Sourcing & Procurement Solution Design professional to join the Digital Transformation Services (DTS) team in Bangalore. The role will focus on designing differentiated, digitally enabled S&P solutions for global clients, supporting RFPs and proactive pursuits, and developing transformation roadmaps that combine deep procurement domain expertise with AI, analytics, automation, workflow and procurement technology.
