Chief Procurement Officer persona
Owns category strategy across spend — consolidates panels, runs RFPs, enforces savings and supplier-risk targets.
Who they are
The CPO reports to the CFO or COO, owns total addressable spend in the high tens of millions, and is measured on identified savings, contracted-vs-spot ratio, supplier-risk-incident rate and working-capital improvement. Marketing/promo merch is a sub-category — typically 1-3% of spend — but visible to the CEO because brand teams escalate when procurement gets in the way.
What they need from a supplier
What they need: a supplier that quotes on full TCO (unit + logistics + duty + samples + design rounds), accepts a 12-month framework agreement with annual price benchmarks, signs SOC2/ISO/CSRD-aligned addenda without friction, supports SAP Ariba / Coupa / Jaggaer integration, and provides quarterly savings and risk dashboards procurement can show the audit committee.
