Job Responsibilities:
Client is undertaking the AMI 2.0 program, a large, multi-year, high visibility deployment of advanced metering infrastructure across its service territory. A critical success factor for AMI 2.0 is the timely, safe, and cost-effective installation of meters and communication network devices at scale, supported by robust field operations, logistics, and customer engagement capabilities.
Client is seeking a Procurement Sr. Advisor to manage and execute a comprehensive procurement approach for AMI 2.0 Meter and Network device Installation Contractor Services. The Sr. Advisor will support the full procurement lifecycle from strategy development through contract award and transition to post-award execution ensuring alignment with deployment schedules, risk tolerance, regulatory commitments, and enterprise governance requirements.
The Client Sr. Advisor assigned to the AMI 2.0 team will serve as Procurement’s primary procurement lead and day-to-day interface with the AMI Engineering & Technology Deployment team, numerous cross-functional stakeholders across the company, and external advisory consultants. This role is responsible for coordinating Client procurement activities, enabling timely consultant performance, maintaining sourcing process integrity, and ensuring that advisory work products are usable for Client RFP, evaluating complete, comparable, and price-risk-transparent bidder responses against contracting, governance, and transition needs. This highly-organized individual must coordinate diverse stakeholder groups through complex commercial and technical evaluations, resolving competing inputs, and keeping workstreams moving with urgency and discipline.

The Sr. Advisor is expected to coordinate with:
• AMI 2.0 Program leadership and PMO
• Client Procurement and Supply Management leadership
• Legal and contracting representatives
• Supplier Management and post-award contract management teams
• Field deployment, operations, customer experience, safety, logistics, IT, cybersecurity, and regulatory stakeholders, as applicable
