[Hiring] Senior Director, Supply Chain & Procurement @Transact Campus

Role Description

The Senior Director of Supply Chain & Procurement is a member of Illumia's operational leadership team, reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer. This role exists at a pivotal moment: Illumia is completing the operational unification of Transact and CBORD into a single, high-performing $600M software company — and the supply chain function is one of the most consequential levers in that transformation.

This is not a caretaker role. The operational drag created by fragmented legacy supply chain processes is directly limiting revenue, frustrating clients, and slowing the organization. The Senior Director's mandate is to eliminate that drag and build the supply chain function Illumia needs to scale: reliable, cost-efficient, data-driven, and fully integrated into the company's operating model.

The COO's first-year priority is measurably improving quote-to-cash velocity. Supply chain is central to that commitment. This leader owns fixing failure points structurally, not with workarounds.

Responsibilities

• End-to-End Supply Chain Operations: Ownership of Illumia's supply chain from demand planning through final delivery and reverse logistics.
• Procurement & Supplier Management: Ownership of Illumia's direct and indirect procurement.
• Quote-to-Cash Integration: Improving Illumia's quote-to-cash velocity as a critical link in that chain.
• Systems, Data & Process Excellence: Addressing the current operation across disconnected legacy systems.
• Leadership & Team Development: Building and leading a high-performing, globally distributed supply chain team.

Key Areas of Focus

• Fix the quote-to-cash handoff.
• Establish a single source of truth for Hardware status.
• Build Supplier Accountability.
• Integrate AI into Supply Chain Operations.
• Complete post-merger consolidation.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent years of experience.
• MBA or equivalent advanced degree (preferred).
• Professional certifications: CPM, CPSM, CSCP, CPIM, CIPS, CSCMP, or SCOR.
• 10+ years of progressive leadership in supply chain and/or procurement.
• Experience managing direct and indirect spend, hardware ecosystems, and OEM/vendor relationships.
• Demonstrated success leading supply chain integration or transformation in a post-merger or high-growth environment.
• ERP proficiency, specifically Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365).
• Strong analytical skills — able to build and use data to diagnose problems, measure progress, and make decisions.
• Proven ability to influence across functions and levels without direct authority.
• Experience deploying AI or automation tools within supply chain operations.
• Background in software or technology companies with both hardware and software product lines.

Leadership Qualities

• Humble: They lack excessive ego or concerns about status, share credit, and elevate the contributions of others.
• Hungry: Always looking for more — more things to do, more to learn, and more responsibility to take on.
• Smart: Possess common sense about people and the ability to read a room, build trust, and bring people along.

Benefits

• Flexible time off including paid holidays and volunteer time.
• Robust health, dental, and vision insurance plans on your first day of employment.
• Comprehensive employee assistance program (EAP).
• Employer-paid life insurance, AD&D, short-term and long-term disability insurance.

• Matched 401(k).
