The Strategic Sourcing team is a key component of our larger Procurement and Finance Services (PFS) team at Zillow Group. This position is responsible for efficient service delivery models in collaboration with domestic, offshore and nearshore partners also known as Global Business Services (GBS). Our strategy focuses on achieving operational excellence, product quality, competitive advantage, outstanding customer experience, risk management and cost efficiency all of which is in alignment with Zillow Group’s mission and core values.

As the leader of our Global Business Services (GBS) team, the Category Sourcing Manager plays a crucial role in partnering with operational leaders to find opportunities and drive process optimization. This position serves as the key point of contact for building and refining process flow documentation with enhancements to operational efficiency within the GBS framework.
