Sr Director, Strategic Sourcing – Installation Category Management

Job Description

Honeywell is seeking a Senior Director of Strategic Sourcing to lead the Installation Center of Excellence as part of the Projects Center of Excellence. This is a transformation role, not business as usual, with a mandate to modernize how Honeywell sources, contracts, and partners with installation and subcontracting suppliers globally.

The role owns the enterprise subcontracting strategy across Honeywell businesses, representing approximately $500M in annual external spend, and is accountable for driving cost, speed, and competitiveness through standardized processes, fitforpurpose contracting, shouldcosting, value engineering, and AIenabled automation.

This position requires a leader who can define strategy and execute it alongside the team, with a hands-on leadership style and the ability to personally engage in analysis, executive materials, and critical discussions. The role operates in a highly matrixed environment and relies on influence, credibility, and delivery to achieve results.
