• Develop supplier strategies that support continuity for both the legacy and the new businesses during and after separation.

• Draft, review, and negotiate contract terms to ensure alignment with the new entity's requirements.

• Maintain trackers, dashboards, and status reports to ensure visibility to progress and dependencies.

• Collaborate with legal, finance, IT, and business stakeholders to execute supplier transitions with minimal disruption.

• Support the design and setup of interim or future-state processes, templates, and sourcing playbooks.
