Sr Director, Strategic Sourcing – Installation Category Management
Honeywell, Houston, TX, United States
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, fit-for-purpose contracting, should-costing, value engineering, and AI-enabled 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.

Process, Commercial and Risk Excellence
Deploy standardized value engineering and post‑mortem processes for major projects.
Partner with Legal to implement fit‑for‑purpose subcontracting and risk frameworks.
Support and lead escalation of complex, high‑impact subcontracting negotiations.
Tools, Digital and AI Enablement
Lead deployment of should‑costing, RFQ tools, and AI‑enabled process automation.
Serve as key stakeholder and decision preparer for sourcing technology investments.
Ensure tools materially simplify day‑to‑day execution and drive measurable outcomes.
Leadership and Stakeholder Engagement
Lead a global, matrixed team of regional Installation COE leaders.
Influence senior business, project, and functional stakeholders without direct authority.
Represent Honeywell with strategic subcontractor partners globally.
What Success Looks Like (18–24 Months)

Preferred subcontractor frameworks are active, scaled globally, and used by the businesses.
