The Executive Director, Delivery and Optimization owns one of five GPO Delivery pods — a team of Delivery Managers, Delivery Directors, and Delivery Senior Directors — and is accountable for that pod’s collective delivery performance across every assigned account. This is the most senior presence in GPO Delivery — someone who brings executive-level polish and structured thinking to connect the GPO contracting team, portfolio SMEs, analytics, and the rest of Premier to what member supply chain clients actually need, and who holds the team to a standard of execution, not activity. The Executive Director, Delivery and Optimization operates with autonomy, sets the bar for strategic guidance and executive presence across the pod, and is judged on the team’s results: contract uptake, value realization, and client trust at scale.
