Role Description Hexion is seeking a transformational procurement leader to architect and execute a bold reinvention of the procurement function. This is not a caretaker role. The incoming leader will inherit a function that is heavily execution-focused — reliant on manual P2P processes, disconnected market intelligence, reactive risk management, and siloed data — and will be charged with helping to build a future-state operating model centered on three pillars: - Human Value Teams — Agile "Pods" focused on Supplier Strategy, Innovation, Risk Shaping, and Business Partnering - AI Layer — AI Sourcing Agents, Predictive Analytics, Cost & Risk Models, and Autonomous Negotiations - Digital / Global Capabilities Center (GCC) Factory — Touchless P2P, Automated Tail Spend, Exceptions-Based Handling, and Clean Real-Time Data More specifically, the successful candidate will develop and lead an AI-native Center of Excellence (the AI Layer) and deploy automation throughout the Source to Pay processes. The goal: By introducing 30% of procurement work executed by AI vs. Humans, enable +3–5x more time on value creation, 30–50% reduction in process costs and cycle time, and data-driven insights for strategic advantage. This is not your average “let’s try a few AI use cases”. Our intent is to revolutionize how procurement gets done and that requires radical change in mindset, process and technology. We are not looking to improve, optimize or document. We are looking to redesign by doing. This is not the typical process of hiring an AI Leader to define the roadmap to then roll out tools process. The new leader will pick use cases, build fast, prove its value and then scale and put structure behind it. So, if you love to re-imagine procurement, fail fast while implementing and pivot equally fast, this can be your dream job. Qualifications - 12+ years of progressive procurement/supply chain leadership experience, including 3+ years at the Director or Senior Director level - Demonstrated track record of leading a procurement transformation — not just participating in one — from traditional sourcing to a digitally-enabled, strategically-focused model - Deep and proven ability to deploy AI, machine learning, or advanced analytics in a procurement context (predictive sourcing, autonomous negotiation tools, spend analytics, risk modeling) - Proven experience building and deploying AI/automation hands-on use cases (not just leading programs) - Track record of rapid prototyping and scaling digital products - Comfort working in ambiguous, fast-moving environments with minimal structure - Strong executive presence with ability to influence VP and C-suite stakeholders on transformation investments - Experience managing $300M+ in addressable spend across direct and indirect categories - Bachelor's degree required; MBA or Master's in Supply Chain, Engineering, or related field strongly preferred Requirements - Experience with agile operating models (Pods, Squads, or similar structures) in a procurement or supply chain context - Hands-on familiarity with procurement technology platforms and their AI/ML extension capabilities - Background in change management methodologies — this role requires transforming not just systems, but mindsets and ways of working - Experience with private equity-backed or sponsor-owned businesses where speed, accountability, and value creation urgency are high - CPSM, CSCP, or equivalent professional certification Benefits - Competitive base salary commensurate with experience - Annual performance bonus tied to transformation milestones and savings delivery - Long-term incentive / equity participation - Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, vision, 401(k) match - Relocation assistance available What Success Looks Like — First 18 Months - Deploy first AI use case (e.g., predictive raw material pricing, automated tail spend) - 30 days - Complete diagnostic of current-state procurement capabilities, spend, and technology landscape - 90 days - Publish transformation roadmap with phased investment plan and quick wins - 120 days - Demonstrate measurable shift in team time allocation from execution to value creation - 18 months
