    Intuit is seeking an EMEA Staff Strategic Sourcing Manager to lead complex, high-impact sourcing initiatives across Marketing, Services and Technology categories for EMEA. This is an individual contributor role for a senior sourcing professional who thrives in ambiguity, operates independently, and partners effectively with senior leaders. This role requires good expertise across the different categories, understanding its impact on business outcomes and total cost of ownership, with a focus on driving business transformation. This role plays a critical part in enabling Intuit's growth, operational excellence, and innovation. In this role, you will develop category strategies, lead negotiations, and manage critical supplier relationships across EMEA. You will connect third-party capabilities with Intuit's value chain to optimize investments, manage risk, and unlock value across EMEA business teams. You will collaborate with senior leaders across Intuit to identify opportunities for operational improvements, cost optimization, and risk mitigation, ensuring best value from third-party investments. You'll influence through expertise, data, and clear communication-remaining hands-on while driving measurable business outcomes. This role requires a strategic, highly analytical leader and strong connector who can synthesize insights across third-party partners, Intuit's value chain, and business outcomes to drive growth and innovation. You will develop and execute sourcing and category strategies, identify and quantify value opportunities, and lead RFx processes and complex vendor negotiations to deliver measurable impact.,

  • A builder's mindset toward AI adoption - comfortable evaluating and championing new AI capabilities within the sourcing function, not just using AI as a passive assistant.
  • Familiarity with agentic and integration-based AI workflows (e.g., connecting AI tools to Slack, Google Drive, Coupa, or similar platforms) is a strong plus.
    • AI Automation
